I can use some Outlook Express Help!!!

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I can use some Outlook Express Help!!!

Posted: 5/22/2003 11:22:56 PM EDT

Hey Guys,
With the AR15.com Mail Server acting up when used from the web, I've realized the need to access it through OE. With some help from the guys in the chat room, I was able to get OE to send and receive the mail from AR15.com.

I currently have ATTBI mail and use OE to access it. I now have set up a second account to get the AR15.com mail.

What I haven't been able to do is set up a second set of folders. I'd really like to have one set of folders for the ATTBI mail and another for the AR15.com mail. I'd really prefer to do it without setting up a second identity, having them accessed from the same page. I've seen this done on someone elses computer before, and I'm sure its some easy three button thing, but I'm just too dumb to figure it out.

Any help is appreciated.

Right-click on your Inbox folder icon (or wherever you want to have your AR15 folder)
Select New Folder.
Name new folder ARFKOM Mail, or whatever you want.
Click OK.

Now go up to you menu bar, select tools, follow the drop-down menu to Message Rules, and select Mail.
Click on the New button, under "Select the Conditions for your rule", select "Where the message is from the specified account", in the next box you check the box where it says "Move it to the specified folder". Down one box, to the third and last one, marked with "Rule Description", click on the words underlined in blue, and select the e-mail account in question (another drop-down menu) and the folder where you want the mail to be.

Have you tried to uninstall JUST Outlook Express and then visiting the Windows Update site for a reinstall? Or even before that checking to see if there is an update at the Windows Update site that might fix your problem?

Check out [url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q171163[/url] for a step-by-step guide on setting up Outlook Express to send and receive internet mail.

AR15.com mail is on a POP3 server. Both the incoming and outgoing mail server is "mail.ar15.com". You should know your Account name(user name) and password.

Good luck!

I've been trying some strange stuff, including downloading IE6.0 and another outlook express update. After monkeying with the configurations for about 1/2 hour, I might have made some progress.

:fingers crossed:

Holy smokes it worked!!!
I only missed 9 e-mails, but I have access to them now. THANKS GUYS!!!

Now if I could just [i]send[/i] e-mails now..

I got one better than that.

I have all accounts, including hotmail setup fine. I downloaded 6.0 upgrade. All ok...

After a week or so, OE acted like it rebooted or reset. I lost every single email in the Inbox only. All the deleted and sent and other folders were fine. Only the Inbox were lost. A couple I needed. I am totally screwed, OE is FUBAR'ed.....

Why don't you just set up a new Identity. Basically Go to File >> Identitys >> Add New Identity and name it AR15.com. You select Identities from the file menu. Each has it's own environment and set of folders.
