Actually, I shouldn't really slag off Microsoft. After all, wasn't it 
Bill Gates who said that they didn't make particularly good software, 
they're just a very successful business?

If you think this is bad, try using Lotus Notes (like we do at work).
Thankfully I do not think that this is available for the Mac.

Re: Evil Outlook Express-Conclusion

Hi,

Seems the problem was not with Outlook but with my ISP.

They are a very nice ISP that got back to me fairly promptly. Seems the main
problem came from those incredibly uninformative Microsoft error messages


Hope this my help someone in the future.

Actually it is & a worse piece of cludged together unstable crap I have
never seen in my life. I had to set it up for a legal firm who use it to
access the state law dept database of legal decisions. They were using it on
a Performa 5400 which was the hardly the Rolls Royce of Macs anyway but the
combination over a 56k modem link Forget it!

Re: Evil Outlook Express

[Shay Telfer]

Hi,

Having a problem with OE 5.04.

When I try and send email I am getting the following message.
The same message occurs in Entourage.

Mail cannot be sent to account ""
4.4.5 Insufficient disk space; try again later

No mail is being received with either but with no error message.

I have more than enough space ie 1.5G

Can anyone help please.


Have you got OE set to actually download the mail onto your machine, 
or do you have a huge mailbox sitting on the server? That would 
prevent the account receiving new mail and possibly sending old mail.


If this is the case then when you turn this option on you may have to 
wait a while for all the mail backlog to download :)


Thanks,
Shay

Re: Evil Outlook Express

Possibly you are sending an attachment & exceeding the mailbox size
allocated by your ISP?
