Outlook Express is a lightweight, more old version the famous email program from Microsoft. The company no longer supports it, but Express is still widely used by non-upgraded users. Windows versions. Compared to the modern version of Outlook, it has a number of features that are worth knowing in order to set up the mailer before getting started.

How to configure Outlook Express to work with different sites

In order for letters from existing mailboxes to be redirected to Outlook Express, the program needs pre-setting. The setup process is quite similar for different email sites, differing only in the data that must be entered and the protocols that can be used.

Protocols on this moment There are two: IMAP and POP. IMAP is more powerful, but POP is faster and lighter. Which one is better is up to you to decide, but the sites themselves prefer to provide data only for POP.

Before setting up, you need to make sure that your email client has permission to transfer data via POP3. This is only relevant in the case of Yandex, since in other email clients this permission is automatically enabled. It is located in the account settings: “Settings - Mail programs - From server via POP3 protocol.”

Further steps are the same for each mailbox. You need to go to Outlook Express and follow the path “Tools - Accounts”.
You can add a new email address in your Outlook Express account settings

In the window that opens, select “Add - Mail” and begin creating a new account. For each mailbox connecting to Outlook Express, you must have your own account.

In the first window that opens, you need to enter your data. This is done so that the sender's name is automatically included in outgoing mail.
The first thing you need to do when setting up is to enter your username

The next step requires you to enter an address Email, connected to the client. The address is entered completely, without errors.
You must enter the email address from which messages will be sent

Now comes the fun part. You should select a server for incoming messages (for outgoing messages it is set by default) and specify the details of the server from which information will be received. Each site has its own data, but companies willingly provide it. The list of these servers is presented in the table below.
Entering data from the server for incoming and outgoing messages using Mail as an example

Almost done! All that remains is to add your account information: e-mail address (login) and password. Here you can enable remembering your password so you don’t have to enter it every time.
You need to enter your username and password to log in to the system.

Ready! But that is not all. After setting it up, it is highly advisable to enable a secure connection, which will ensure greater reliability for emails.
To do this, you need to return to the account settings, click on the newly added one and click “Properties”.

To configure account properties, you need to enter the appropriate panel, find the desired address and click “Properties” In the window that opens, you can change any of your data if something was entered incorrectly, or apply new parameters. The tab we need is “Advanced”: this is where a secure connection is configured.

In the window that opens, you can change your account settings

In the “Advanced” tab, you need to check the boxes next to the “Connect via a secure connection” options. Another useful item is “Leave copies of messages on the server”: by default, after synchronization, mail is deleted from the account on the mail site. In order for copies of messages to remain in the Mail or Yandex client, you must enable this item.

	Table: server data for different mailboxes	Mail	Yandex
Ukr.net	Inbox IMAP: imap.mail.ru	POP3: pop.mail.ru	pop.yandex.ru
pop3.ukr.net	Outgoing	smtp.mail.ru	smtp.yandex.ru

smtp.ukr.net

Where are emails and Outlook Express profile stored?

Knowing where all your incoming and outgoing mail is can be extremely important, for example, when reinstalling a system. Fortunately, there is no secret in this: by default, the program uses the following path. Accounts are also located in this folder. But the passwords for them are encrypted deep in the registry, and you just can’t get to them - only with the help of special programs.<имя пользователя>C:\Documents and Settings\ \Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\( an identification number

)\Microsoft\Outlook Express
Sergey

Here, “Username” is the name of your computer account, and the ID number is some long number that may vary depending on the configuration.

It’s worth noting that you won’t be able to just go into this folder: you may need administrator rights and the “Hide” option disabled system files and folders."

This can be done in the settings menu at the following path: “Start - Control Panel - Files and Folders / Explorer Options / Folder Options / Folder Options (depending on the version of Windows, this item is called differently).”

By the way, you can change the storage location of letters: this is done in the Outlook Express settings along the path “Tools - Options - Maintenance - Message Bank”.

In Outlook Express, you can view and configure the location where data will be stored

Disabling compression By default, Outlook Express asks the user each time the program is closed if he or she would like to compress messages to free up some disk space. Even if the user answers “OK”, after some time the client will ask him about it again. And if you click on “Cancel”, the program will start offering compression every time.

Users mostly find this feature annoying and want to get rid of it.

A similar message appears in Outlook Express very often and interferes with your work

In older versions, the problem is solved simply: just go to the path “Tools - Options - Maintenance” and uncheck the “Compress messages” checkbox in the window that appears.

In older versions of Outlook Express, to disable compression, simply uncheck the “Compress…” option in the settings

But with new ones you will have to work hard. It is impossible to disable compression there, and a notification window begins to appear every time it is launched if the number of times the user has turned on the program exceeds 100. Obviously, Microsoft believes that after a hundred starts of the program, the message bank grows to unimaginable sizes. It is impossible to get rid of annoying offers forever.

But you can reset the activation counter.

First you need to go to the system registry. To do this, press Win+X and type regedit in the window that appears. The Registry Editor will open.

You will have to search for the place where the launch counter is stored manually. In order not to waste time on a long search in the branches of the registry, click “Edit - Find” and enter the name of the counter into the search window: Compact Check Count.

The variable value window will display a number describing the number of runs. This is exactly what we need! Delete this number and write 0 instead.

Now the program will consider that it was turned on 0 times and will not offer compression to the user. However, after the next hundred starts the procedure will have to be repeated.

Using Outlook Express is simple and convenient if you know how to set it up. It can be a good assistant in sorting and sending letters from different mailboxes. And if compression starts to bother you, you can always turn it off!

Today, dozens of companies offer email services, and these are only the largest in RuNet. All of them are equipped with web interfaces that allow you to work through a browser, but it’s too early to discount universal email clients; they are still in demand.

Setting up Outlook

Microsoft Outlook is a popular, easy-to-use application that makes it easy to organize personal and group work on the Internet. The program is used for exchanging mail, planning business meetings and tasks, maintaining a list necessary contacts. It is one of the most popular, which is well deserved.

Yandex began providing email services in 2000. From then to this day this Post service- one of the most popular in RuNet. Yandex easily provides its clients with the opportunity to exchange by email regardless of the provider and connection to the network of their opponents.

Outlook Express

It is believed that Outlook Express is a kind of lightweight version of classic Outlook. This is partly true. They have the same developer, and Express was shipped as part of the Microsoft OS until 2003. With the release of Windows 7, its distribution ceased.

They differ in that the classic was part of the Microsoft Office package, while Express was pre-installed in the operating system. The latter also does not contain various additional functions. Setting up Outlook Express consists of the following steps:

1. Launch the application, open “Tools”, “Accounts”.
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. In “Add” click on “Mail”.
4. Enter the name or nickname that the recipient will see in the “From” line.
5. Enter your email and “Next”.
6. In the list of servers for incoming mail, select POP3.
7. Specify parameters for outgoing mail.
8. In “Account” enter your email address.
9. Enter your password.
10. Click “Next” to complete the settings.

Setting up Outlook Express

The email program, without exaggeration, provides your connection with the entire world of computers and their owners. Apparently, this is why there are slightly more settings here than in previous programs that we studied. But this shouldn't scare you. In this book, I describe only the most necessary operations from the entire set of possible ones, assuming that you will never need all of them.

Well, you will find out what you want to use yourself based on the knowledge and skills that you will acquire by reading this book and using the program’s built-in help. For initial work, you don’t have to configure anything at all, using already existing settings, so-called settings default. I will describe the settings that allow me to work with mail better.

So, setting up Outlook Express.

A window is used for this Options, which is called from the menu Service? Options(Fig. 5.5).

Rice. 5.5. Outlook Express Options window

General tab

When starting, immediately open the Inbox folder– a very useful checkbox that allows you to immediately see all your incoming letters. However, switching between folders in the area Folder list This is done very simply - by clicking on the desired folder (this action is called selecting a folder).

In area Messages you will see all the letters that are in the selected folder.

Attention!

Select a folder, letter, message - click on the folder, letter, message.

Notify about new newsgroups– in this case, the program will notify you about the arrival using a special window new information from various subscription sites.

By default, Outlook Express itself already has a subscription to some Microsoft servers. And whenever you use the services of any resources on the Internet, you will be offered a subscription to news and mailings.

This is one of the aspects of online business.

I recommend that you approach such subscriptions very selectively. Experience shows that it is really easy to subscribe to them. Alas, it can be difficult to unsubscribe later, that is, to refuse these subscriptions. And they come to you at the expense of your traffic, and therefore, for your money.

Personally, when interacting with Internet resources, I always carefully look for the text “Subscribe to the newsletter” and uncheck the box already next to such text. Although I'm not sure that this always helps.

In frame Sending and receiving messages everything seems clear.

Deliver mail at the start of work means checking your mailbox when you download Outlook Express.

Check for new messages every... allows you to set a time period for checking your mailbox. Here we need to clarify something. The connection between your computer and your ISP can occur via telephone line or by dedicated one.

A connection via a telephone line is the cheapest, but it involves seizing this line for the entire time you work with the provider. In the case of such a connection, it is wiser to perform the function of checking your mail yourself, without relying on the computer’s initiative.

Reading tab

I think that the default settings will suit most users of the program. You can just pay attention to the button Fonts. It allows you to choose the font in which all messages that you read are displayed. If you check here Read all messages in text format, then you won’t see anything other than the text in the letter, but they may also send you some kind of multimedia letter with a picture (Fig. 5.6).

Rice. 5.6. Outlook Express settings. Reading window tab

Notifications tab

This tab defines the program's behavior in cases where you receive emails requesting a read receipt. If you yourself want to know whether your letter has reached the addressee, that is, you want to receive a notification that it has been read, you can also configure this function here (Fig. 5.7).

Rice. 5.7. Outlook Express settings. Window Notification tab

If you would like to receive a notification when your email is read, check this option. But you need to keep in mind that you will receive a notification only if your subscriber has not prohibited this operation (paragraph Never send a read receipt). If you check the operation Issue notification requests, then Outlook Express will ask your permission to send such a notification and only after your permission to send it.

Tab Sending messages

This tab allows you to define the program’s actions while sending your messages (Fig. 5.8).

Rice. 5.8. The Sending Messages tab of the Options window

In frame Sending messages there are such parameters.

Save a copy in the Sent Items folder– saves copies of your sent emails. This way, you can always see which of your emails actually went as intended. You will have to periodically clean this folder, that is, remove copies of sent letters to other folders or delete them.

Send messages immediately– when this item is enabled, immediately after writing a letter, Outlook Express tries to connect to the provider and send the message. It makes sense to enable this option when you have a permanent connection to your provider. If you connect using a telephone line, then it is better to disable this option. In this case, you will have to use a special tool Deliver mail on the toolbar. Using this tool will allow you to simultaneously check your mailbox with your provider and send all the letters prepared for sending.

Automatically add recipients whose emails the user replies to in the address book– after inclusion, all addresses from which you reply will be entered into your address book. Very useful feature. We will talk about the address book in the “Address Book” section.

Include the text of the original message in the reply– this checkbox allows you to insert the text of the original message into your reply, which you can edit. During intensive correspondence, it is easier to keep track of its content. You can choose the format of the initial message that is included in your letter yourself in the frame Format of sent messages team Settings plain text? Indentation source text on... signs when replying and forwarding. You can select the character that will be used to mark the lines of the original message.

Tab Compose message

This tab allows you to define the font, that is appearance your messages (Fig. 5.9).

Rice. 5.9. Message creation tab of the Options window

In frame New message font you can customize the font type in which your message will be typed. In principle, you can do this while typing your message, but adjusting the font in this field will save you time later.

In frame Business Cards You can ensure that your business card is included in outgoing emails.

A business card is a vCard file with your contact information from your address book. To create a business card, create in address book entry with your own data, in the menu File point to Export and select Business card (vCard). To add business card in a message, when editing in the menu Insert select Business card.

Signatures tab

Checkbox Add signatures to all outgoing messages allows you to do exactly what it says: add a basic signature to all your outgoing messages (Fig. 5.10).

Rice. 5.10. Captions tab of the Parameters window

Checkbox Do not add a signature to replies and forwarded messages allows replies and forwarded messages processed in a special way, which sometimes turns out to be very useful.

To create a signature, click on the button Create. The name of the signature will appear in the signature field as Signature #1.

Since such a name for a signature requires a strong memory and the absence of a vivid imagination, it would be useful to rename it something lively and better remembered. To do this, select the formal name, click on the button Rename and enter a new signature name.

You can have several signatures - for different occasions. But in order for the computer to be able to figure out what’s what, you must declare one of them as the main one. It will be inserted into emails by default. To do this, select any signature and click on the button Use as default.

After all this you can use the buttons Apply or OK. Let me remind you, button Apply allows you to fix all the settings made on this tab without removing the window Options. Button Additionally will allow you to match your signatures to your accounts if you have more than one.

Spelling tab

Frame Options– turns on spell checking before sending a message, unlike Word, in which you can turn on spelling directly as you type.

I find this mode very useful and regret that mail servers do not have such a service, which leads to situations of increased blood flow - especially when reading your already sent letters. But this is exactly the situation about which the proverb speaks: “What is written with a pen cannot be cut out with an ax” (Fig. 5.11).

Rice. 5.11. Spelling tab of the Options window

Suggest replacements for misspelled words turns on a mode where you can see options for replacing an incorrect word in the context menu if the computer recognizes this word. Besides general dictionary The computer creates a user dictionary, Custom.dic, during operation. In it you can include words that you consider correct, but which are not in the main dictionary. This is especially true for proper names. You can edit this dictionary using the button Edit user dictionary. You can expand your dictionary from context menu team Add.

Frame Always skip when checking spelling allows you to cancel the spell check in some cases, which allows you to save your nerve cells, but also eliminates situations of self-affirmation, when you can rightfully say: “What a fool this machine is, it doesn’t know such simple things!” Joke.

Connection tab

Frame Internet connection usually configured when setting up the browser Internet Explorer. If you use the button Change…, you will thereby change and Internet settings Explorer, which is better to do directly in it (Fig. 5.12).

Rice. 5.12. Connection tab of the Parameters window

Checkbox Prompt when connection changes remote access– indicates that if you have multiple dial-up connections, Outlook Express will display a message prompting you to disconnect the broken connection. This item only makes sense when connecting via a telephone line.

Checkbox Disconnect after sending and receiving messages– causes the computer to disconnect its Internet connection after you click the toolbar button Deliver mail and the mail will be delivered. Makes sense when connecting via a telephone line.

Security tab

Frame Virus protection allows you to at least to some extent protect yourself from viruses (Fig. 5.13).

Rice. 5.13. Security tab of the Settings window

However, this protection is very illusory.

Rather, Outlook's antivirus capabilities can be described as ways to detect viruses on your machine.

This is exactly what the Warn if applications try to send mail on my behalf setting applies to.

The point of enabling this option is that the sooner you detect a virus on your computer, the better: the greater the likelihood of getting rid of it with the least loss.

A very important rule: don’t be overly curious.

Do not open unknown attachments (these are letters with paper clips).

And stick to the rule yourself: if you attach something necessary to a letter, do not be lazy to mention it in the body of the letter so that your recipient does not have to solve the problem: did you send it or was it a virus?

Many people don’t even think about it anymore: it’s attached, but your friend doesn’t write anything about it, which means it must be deleted.

Well, if a stranger sent something in an attached file, kill without regret!

From the author's book

Outlook Express Outlook Express is one of the most famous email programs, i.e. programs that are used to work with mail in in electronic format. Most advanced e-business users (apparently this does not apply to us) use The Bat. This one

. You receive a lot of letters every day. There may be a need to view some of them, but the Internet is turned off at that time. Storing emails with passwords in Internet mailboxes is not safe, or rather, very dangerous. Some “miracle genius” will come along and hack your mailbox. It’s okay if he just does it to test his “superpowers.” What if he takes your passwords and goes to “destroy” your sites and accounts?

I had a case when I accidentally got into someone else's mailbox and, without understanding it, began to delete spam. And when I looked around, it turned out that this was not my box. Apparently there was some kind of glitch on the server, and I went through a time portal, easily and simply.

How to setupOutlookExpress

That’s when I started thinking and decided that it would be better if my letters were stored on my computer. And I advise you to do the same, especially since the mail program is already included in the Windows XP operating system. It's called Outlook Express. Its icon can be found in the menu " Start ».

To avoid searching for it every time, right-click on it and select “ Create a shortcut " It will appear somewhere at the end of the list of programs (in the same menu “ Start »).

Now take this new icon and drag it onto your desktop with your mouse. Left-click on the new Outlook Express icon. An Outlook Express window will open.

Now we need to configure the mailbox to receive mail from the Internet mailbox.

To do this, open the menu “ Service" and in the list that opens select " Accounts… ».

In the next window on the tab " All"Click on the button on the right" Add" There will most likely not be a single account in your window, just like mine.

And select from the list “ Mail… ».

The following window will open “ Internet Connection Wizard " In the window " Display name "we write a word that the recipient of your mail will see. We write the first half of the name of our mailbox (simba) and press the button “ Further ».

In the window " Email "we write the full name of our box (I have [email protected]) and press the button again Further ».

In the next window " Incoming message server “No need to change anything. In the window " Incoming message server (POP3IMAP orHTTP) » we write – POP3.mail.ru (for Yandex - POP3.yandex.ru ). For all other mailboxes, also after POP3, write through the dot the second part of your mailbox, which is written after the icon @ .

In field " Outgoing message server (SMTP) » we register – SMTP.mail.ru (for Yandex - SMTP.yandex.ru ). Click the button " Further" and move on.

In the next window opposite “ Account »Your account should already exist. And in the field " Password» enter the password that you assigned to your mailbox on Mail.ru or Yandex.ru.

You simply forward your mail to your computer. And don't forget to check the box " Remember password " Otherwise, you will have to enter it every time you connect. And again press the button “ Further ».

Now press the button " Ready ».

Our account has been created. You can now close the window Accounts ».

All that remains is to set up your new mailbox.

Open the menu “ Service » — « Options ».

On the " Are common"check the box opposite " When starting, immediately open the Inbox folder» .

On the " Reading"check the box next to " Read all messages in text format ", otherwise you will not be able to read some letters.

You can leave the rest of the tabs alone for now. Most likely, you won't need them. Save all your settings and connect to the Internet. Let's try to get mail. To check, you can send yourself a letter.

Now, as soon as you connect to the Internet, your mail will quickly download to your computer, but it will not be on the Internet server. Connect to the Internet more often so that it does not linger on the server.

So we looked at the question of how to configure Outlook Express .

Launching the mail program

Run: Start - All Programs - Outlook Express. The main window appears, displaying Local folders(i.e. outgoing, sent and deleted messages). If a message appears that Outlook Express is not the default program for working with email, and the question: “Should I make it so?” - answer Yes. If nothing like this happens, we continue with the setup.

Select the Always open inbox on startup check box. The email program directs all incoming messages to the Inbox, so it makes sense to skip this home page. If you don't see a list of folders and contacts on the left, select Current View from the View menu. Select Contacts & Folders to check the boxes, then click OK.

Create a new account.

Open the menu item “Tools – Accounts...”.

Go to the "Mail" tab (usually we're on it by default). Already created accounts are displayed here. Click the “Add – Mail” button.

Computer service Positive provides services for transferring and setting up your email program Outlook Express on another computer or after reinstalling the operating system Windows systems 7 and Vista

In the “Display name” field, enter any name convenient for you (it can be your name or the name of your company). It will appear in the “From” field of the recipient of the letter.

Account Setup

Now enter the email server:

• In the “Incoming message server” drop-down list, select “POP3”;
• In the “Incoming message server (POP3, IMAP or HTTP)” field, insert “POP3”, which is specified in the letter with access parameters;
• In the “Outgoing message server (SMTP)” field, respectively, “SMTP” is the server of your Internet provider (i.e. the company that provides you with Internet service).

We check whether all the data has been entered correctly and click Next.
