Hi. I have somehow messed up my computer's Outlook
Express. It used to be the default email, then I switched
to Outlook. I have just switched back to OE 6(I won't bore
you with the reasons) and it doesn't work. I have made it
my default email and the program opens but apart from
sending and receiving, nothing works. I can't read the
emails (apart from glancing at them in preview), I can't
start a new email, I can't reply, I can't forward, I can't
open my address book. An error message comes up each time.
I think it might be linked to the address book someone. It
says the OE is not configured and I should reinstall.
Guess what, I have - at least 6 times. Sometimes
uninstalling it, sometimes overwriting it. I have tried
OE5.5 but that doesn't work. Somehow I have messed up my
files in Windows or something. I have tried re-installing
IE6 most of the time as well. I have tried Microsoft
websites. I have tried everything. I have tried my ISP's
helpline. Nothing doing. If anyone knows, could they
please email me on (e-mail address removed) or reply here
(preferably email me).

Thanks. (e-mail address removed)
 
Ask in an Outlook Express forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.
