IE 9 - Any Spec pages to see what it's going to be like ?

I have Win XP3 / 64-bit......IE6 I have tried IE 8 but didn't like it, so went back to the tried and true. Seems now sites are not supporting IE6 so we user won't be able to see their sites without upgrading. Is there any spec page that will tell us what it's going to have and not have ? My dislike of IE8 was the way the favorites showed up when you wanted to save a link. IE6 it opened with just the folders and made it very easy to find where you wanted to put the link. IE8 opened "every" folder one has in their favorites. I would have to go up and down several times to

I think my Outlook Express program has corrupted, when reading mai

Every time I open and read my mail when i click on and try to read an email how do i explain this, the window monitor or graphics colors on the screen and outlook express scrambles and i can not read anything. This only happens with outlook express not any other programs and not my monitor screen. When this happens i have to quickly go to start and restart my computer even the start on the task bar is fuzzy and i have to be quick to restart as the monitor screen becomes unrecognizable. Can this mean the outlook express is corrupted?. My computor is Windows XP

"Send to" wants to open new MSN account instead of using OE?

Trying to help a friend over the phone with the following problem. When right clicking on a file and selecting "send to - mail recipient", Outlook came up instead of OE. Went into OE and found it was not selected as the default mail handler so selected "make default". Now, when right clicking a file and selecting "send to - mail recipient" a window comes up wanting to know if they want the MSN "butterfly" in the system tray. After selecting NO a MSN signup window appears. Shut down and powered back up but problem remains. Running OE 6 on XP SP3 and current on all the update

OE icons size changed w/Quicken & TurboTax

I've noticed this with my Outlook Express under XP. When I use either Quicken 2009 or TurboTax, the icons on my Outlook Express toolbar change. I normally have them as "small icons". But after using Quicken or Turbotax, the icons are BIG and shifted across the toolbar line such that my "Send/Receive" icon is no longer present. I seem to recall a DLL for these toolbar functions, and am guessing that Quicken loads a version that says "big icons", and Turbotax loads yet another DLL that says "huge icons". -- ---------------------------------- "If everything seems to be going

Spellcheck language

I am using Outlook Express 6. As long as the spellcheck was with Office 2000 or later with 2003, the spellcheck language in O E6 was English.

Every word in my composed mail is checked with some French Dictionary and is found to be wrongly spelled by O E6. How do I get English language for spellcheck? P. Jayant

Moving sub-folders from one parent folder to another

Is there a way to do this without having to drag the sub-folder to its new parent? (The Move commands seems to only apply to individual messages, or groups of messages.) The user's folder tree is very long, and she is sometimes unable to keep the button pressed while finding the drop point for the sub-folder being moved. Often this means things are dropped in the wrong place and this causes confusion for her.

Not sending

My OE isn't sending, even though it's receiving. It used to be fine, and it's been playing up for a few days. I haven't done anything to the settings. I don't know if it's relevant, but one of the accounts that I've got in my OE accounts won't receive email as the quota is full; but that's not the account I'm trying to send from. (And, if -- likewise -- it's relevant, I still have my old problem, which I described a couple of months ago, that it doesn't download [and never has downloaded] from the hotmail account that I have set up to send and receive in OE via the POP3 server.

How to set a mail rule to remove mail from server

Not sure why this doesn't work. What I am trying to do is stop any mail coming from facebook.com or facebookmail.com from arriving in my inbox. I have set up a mail rule that uses the option 'delete from server' if either of these domain names are present in the email I had expected them to never be downloaded, just removed from the server. What seems to be happening instead is that they are downloaded from the server and automatically placed into my 'deleted items' folder instead. This means I have to go into the folder and delete them manually. I don't want to set the r

Compaction Failure - .bak files vs .dbx files: offset 68Hex

I recently had a compaction process failure because when I was presented with the dialogue box that asked if I wanted to let OE perform a compaction, I mistakenly clicked on "OK" instead of "Cancel". For whatever reason (maybe because OE was online and my PC was busy) the compaction failed and reported that file "folders.dbx" was in use. Fortunately I backup (copy) my "OE Identity" every time I start my PC so I had a recent copy of my files and folders. However, rather than lose the most recent emails - the ones that had arrived since the backup copy was taken - I decided to check th
