Easy Email Ezine

Greetings, Announcements and News
Welcome to the May issue of The easy Email Ezine. Quick OE NewsI am seeing quite a lot of newsgroups reporting problems with IE 7.0 and Outlook Express and so I personally won't be installing IE 7.0 until I have done more research. If you're not thinking of moving to Windows Vista then you will be please to know that Microsoft have extended support of Windows XP to 2014. If you are using Outlook Express Identities with XP SP2 then you will have to log on each time you open outlook Express. This is a feature change. You cannot configure Windows Mail to use a Web-based e-mail account in Windows Vista so if you use an hotmail account you cannot access it via Windows mail. Microsoft KB 926374 Quick IncrediMail NewsIncrediMail doesn't yet support the new Windows Vista so if you upgrade to Vista you will have to wait before you can install IncrediMail. There seems to be a May update but the download page is showing a March version. I don't know what you will get if you try and download it so I would leave any upgrades until the download page is corrected.
Email MaintenanceHow many of you do regular backups? Despite many people knowing about backups, not many actually do them. Therefore if you're not already doing them, and your email is important to you, then please make regular backups. The less technical you are then the more reason to think of investing ii backup software as it makes the job much easier. Many people think that backing up the entire operating system solves the problem ( see system and email backups). It does, but do you want to restore the entire operating system to get back a few emails? Yes you can restore the Outlook express mailbox stores separately, but again you must really understand what you are doing. See also
Use of the From FieldIf you create a new email in Outlook Express you may see 4 address fields like in the screen shot below.
The BCC field may not be visible but can be enabled see Using Bcc In email, but how about the form field. Well that is only present if your email client is configured to use multiple email accounts (See Managing Multiple Email Accounts/Mailboxes for more details). In which case when you send a new email you can choose which email account sent it, so that the correct address is placed in the email. If you don't physically choose one, then the default email address/account is used. This can be confusing to the recipient, and can even result in your email not being delivered as the default address my be rejected by the recipient. Therefore if you have more than one email account configured on your client pay special attention to the from address field. Out of Office Replies?Its holiday time again and I've received many emails on how to send "out of office replies " ------------------------------------------------------------------
