YOUR OUTLOOK Operation  might have failed if you did not set up the Outlook express properly, try to follow these steps and you will get over it.\n\n\n1. Click the Start button.\n\n2.\nPoint to All Programs.\n\n3.\nClick Outlook Express.\n\n\nOpening Outlook Express from the Start menu\n\n\n4.\nIf asked whether you'd like to open this particular account automatically every time you start Outlook Express, click Yes (if you do) or No (if you don't).\n\nIf you don't want to be asked this question again, click to check the Always perform this check... box.\n\n5.\nCheck When Outlook Express starts, go directly to my Inbox.\n\nOutlook Express directs all incoming mail to the Inbox, so it makes sense to bypass this opening page.\n\nIf you don't see the list of folders and contacts on the left, click Layout on the View menu. Click Contacts and Folder List to check them, and then click OK.\n\n\n\nOutlook Express list of folders\n\n\nQuick start. You'll notice that when you use Outlook Express regularly, Windows XP will put the Outlook Express icon on the Start menu (along with other programs you've used recently). In that case, just click the Outlook Express icon in the Start menu to open the program.\n\n\nTop of page\nSet Up an Outlook Express E-Mail Account\nThe Internet Connection Wizard makes short work of setting up your online mailbox by walking you through each step for every e-mail account you set up.\n\n1.\nBefore you get going, make sure you know your email address along with the following information. (You may need to contact your ISP, Internet Service Provider, to get it.)\n\nFirst, information about the e-mail servers:\n\n• The type of e-mail server you use: POP3 (most e-mail accounts), HTTP (such as Hotmail), or IMAP\n\n• The name of the incoming e-mail server\n\n• For POP3 and IMAP servers, the name of the outgoing e-mail server (generally SMTP)\n\n\nSecond, information about your account:\n\n• Your account name and password\n\n(For some solid advice about making a secure password, read the Create strong passwords article.)\n\n• Find out if your ISP requires you to use Secure Password Authentication (SPA) to access your e-mail account—yes or no is all that's required.\n\n\n2.\nStart Outlook Express, and on the Tools menu, click Accounts.\n\nIf the Internet Connection Wizard starts up automatically, skip ahead to step 4.\n\n3.\nClick Add, and then click Mail to open the Internet Connection Wizard.\n\n\n\nMail option from the Add button\n\n\n4.\nOn the Your Name page of the wizard, type your name as you want it to appear to everyone who gets e-mail from you, and then click Next.\n\nMost people use their full name, but you can use any name—even a nickname—that people will recognize.\n\n5.\nOn the Internet Explorer Address page, type your e-mail address, and then click Next.\n\n6.\nOn the E-mail Server Names page, fill in the first block of information that you gathered from your ISP in step 1, and then click Next.\n\n\n\nInternet Connection Wizard's E-mail Server Names\n\n\nNote: If you chose HTTP as your incoming e-mail server—as for a Hotmail or MSN account—this wizard page changes slightly so you can identify your HTTP mail service provider.\n\n7.\nOn the Internet Mail Logon page, type your account name and password.\n\n\n\nInternet Connection Wizard's Internet Mail Logon\n\n\nNote: If you're concerned about break-ins to your e-mail, click to clear the check in the Remember Password box. You'll then be prompted for the password each time you send or retrieve mail.\n\n8.\nClick Next, and then click Finish.\n\nYou're ready to send your first e-mail!\n\nUnsure if your new e-mail account is working? Send an e-mail message to a friend. If they get the message, your account is ready to roll! But if you run into problems setting up your account, Outlook Express offers help. Search for troubleshooting topics from Contents and Index on the Help menu.\n\n\nTop of

Which version did you download? Maybe you'll do better to uninstall your current version, reboot your com and re-install a new one, reboot as requested and update that version. It works fine with mine, whether it be Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook (my default).\n\nIn case you are using an old version, the url below is the new version.

Many ISP block the usual port for mail.  They officially do this to help prevent spam.  I question if it is more about trying to tie you (by your e-mail address) to their service.\n\nYahoo has a work around.  In Outlook you need to set the MS Outlook to work on port 587 instead of 25.\n\nSee the link below for more help.

Did you have an update recently?\n\nI think theres a windows update that fixes a few bugs with calendars and appointments. Try going to the microsoft page and look for an update.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com\n\nIf all else fails, do a system restore. Just restore it a few days ago. Go to START then programs, then accessories, then system tools. Use system restore to fix your outlook if it did indeed work a few days ago.\n\nAlso go back to outlook and go to the HELP menu. Try the Detect and Repair option.

Dependant upon a few things.\nTo start...\nA: is your Internet Connection is working.\nB: what mail server you are trying to connect to.\nC: is outlook express setup to download messages.\nD: is outlook express setup as POP or IMAP?\nE: Does the mail server you're trying to access allow POP or IMAP configurations.

It won't work. You have to pay for the premium service to enable POP3, which is the protocol Outlook needs to be able to see your emails.

Please include what software you use to read and recieve mails.Assume you can receive email but cannot send. \nLook for an IT expert to configure your POP/SMTP for you or use control panel for Window.\nSwitch to http based emails like Yahoo! mails or Hotmail\nsidenote: add more details what methods have you tried.what software you used,but not too much though :)

There is one thing you can try on your end. Otherwise it's the other end that you are sending it too. \n\nIn Outlook Express go to Tools, Accounts. Choose your account and then Properties then Servers. Click to select the My server requires authentication check box. Exit and restart Outlook and try again.\n\nIf it still does it after trying the instructions change it back. The problem is on the other end.\n\nScan for viruses and Spyware.

There is an error connecting to your POP3 mail server. If you see this while trying to access your email from a web page, your mail providers server may temporarily be down. Try again later. If you get this error when using Outlook, you may need to configure your account with a valid POP3 server. This information can be obtained from your mail provider.
