Need Outlook Express 6 and OE 2002 Help

[James]

When I open Outlook Express 6, and Outlook Express 2002 (the latter on
another computer) a box comes up to login, when my email address and
password have been entered>I click OK, the box disappears about a
second then pops back up. When I click OK again it leaves and quickly
reappears.
This is not only very annoying- but it keeps me from using Outlook
Express. Is there anyway to use Outlook Express and not have this
login box appear?

 

[Bruce Hagen]

There is no Outlook Express 2002. Could you mean Outlook in Office 2002? As
far as OE goes:

Outlook Express keeps prompting for your password

Well, you're probably right about there not being an Outlook Express
2002, because I rechecked and it says Microsoft Outlook 2002, and I
did see something about office in a help menu. But on your help (which
I sure appreciate) in OE 6, it had something about going into the
registry-and I'm uncomfortable about doing that.

I can't make it any easier to swallow, but whatever is causing the issue in
OE is probably the same in Outlook. You can try asking there and see it
there is another option, or the OE group for better exposure. Best to
crosspost the same message to both groups.

If you get that issue in Outlook, either the incorrect account settings have
been used or the Profile is corrupt
Or it could be that you installed Office on a Vista PC and 2002 version is
not fully compatible with vista

two machines, two different mail clients, both telling you your username or
password is incorrect. this would suggest that the settings you entered for
your mail account are incorrect.

most isps have the mail settings on thier website - check the server names
and whether they need authentication etc. if you have got those correct you
may want to give your isp a call and check the username and password.
if you cant find the details let us know your isp and we will get the server
info for you.

good luck

Go to control panel ---add/remove---on left side click windows
components. Put an X on Outlook Express to activate
it on the computer you have that you think does not have OE.

That makes sense & I wish I had a dollar for every OP that thinks they
have
OE on Vista. We'll have to wait to hear back from James now.

It sure sounds like you have Outlook 2002 installed on a Vista based
computer. OL2002 is not compatible with Vista

There is no Outlook Express 2002. Could you mean Outlook in Office
2002?
As

When I open Outlook Express 6, and Outlook Express 2002 (the
latter on
another computer) a box comes up to login, when my email address
and
password have been entered>I click OK, the box disappears about a
bably> second then pops back up. When I click OK again it leaves and
quickly
reappears.
This is not only very annoying- but it keeps me from using
Outlook
Express. Is there anyway to use Outlook Express and not have this
login box appear?- Hide quoted text -

Well, you're probably right about there not being an Outlook Express
2002, because I rechecked and it says Microsoft Outlook 2002, and I
did see something about office in a help menu. But on your help
(which
I sure appreciate) in OE 6, it had something about going into the
registry-and I'm uncomfortable about doing that.

I can't make it any easier to swallow, but whatever is causing the
issue
in OE is probably the same in Outlook. You can try asking there and
see
it there is another option, or the OE group for better exposure.
Best to
crosspost the same message to both groups.

I'll do a little more explaining. My operating system is Windows XP
Professional (I don't think I would want Vista)
1. This computer was bought on eBay as refurbished
2.- Version 2002
3.- Service Pack 3
4.- Processor 1.50 GHz
5.- RAM 1 GB
t was already
I have had this laptop about 1 month, I did not install Microsoft
Outlook 2002 because it was already on the machine when it was
purchased.

The other computer is a desktop and bought as refurbished and has been
owned about 1 1/2 weeks, it is the one that already had Outlook
Express installed when bought.

two machines, two different mail clients, both telling you your username
or password is incorrect. this would suggest that the settings you
entered for your mail account are incorrect.

most isps have the mail settings on thier website - check the server
names and whether they need authentication etc. if you have got those
correct you may want to give your isp a call and check the username and
password.
if you cant find the details let us know your isp and we will get the
server info for you.

good luck
