Outlook Express questions for Mac User

[Aliah]

I just talked with Tech Support at Microsoft who said that
the Outlook Express for Mac users is now obsolete and that
I had to write to you. I hope you can help!!!

I am a MacG3 (9.1 OS) user with a challenge with my
Outlook Express e-mail service:

1. Question: How to delete old mail boxes/addresses? The
instructions given under Outlook Express "Help" do not seem
to work. When I go under "Tools" then to "Accounts" either
no accounts appear or only the account which is presently
open.

2. Question: One of my primary accounts cannot at present
be accessed or opened - When I attempt to open it, this
message comes up:
"Corrupt OE Rules file". Is there a way to FIX this so that
I can access this account.

3. Question: Once I delete the old mail boxes/addresses I
want to know how to set up new addresses to replace them.
How is this accomplished?

4. Question: 2 years ago when I first established my new
account with Adelphia as my Internet provider, they had me
set up my e-mail service through Outlook Express. Now
Adelphia has set up Adelphia Powerlink and I can also now
access my e-mail directly through the Adelphia Powerlink. I
am confused now as to how to efficiently navigate the two
(Microsoft's Outlook and Adelphia Powerlink) so that I do
not lose mail,etc.

5. Question: When I set up my user id/password through
Outlook is it the same user id/password for Adelphia and
vice versa?

I hope this is clear enough. Thanks...I look forward to
your reply.

this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003(beta) from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
