I get the error message "article has expired"

2.

When I reply to a mail or click on a link on a web page, the persons name comes up in the address box instead of the address

3.

I have connected to a Free ISP using their CD, but Outlook Express won't work

 

1.

I get the error message "article has expired"

Goto the top

 

Reason

 

Some newsgroup servers have a setting to say how long the message is valid for.  If the server has a message that is older than the time allowed, it will delete it to make way for new messages.

 

Resolution

 

The only way to resolve this problem is to E-mail the person who sent the message in the first place, and ask them to resend it.

 

2.

When I reply to a mail or click on a link on a web page, the persons name comes up in the address box instead of the address

Goto the top

 

Reason

 

This usually means that their name and e-mail address are already in the Outlook Express address book, and as such putting the name in the address box instead of the address will work, as Outlook Express checks its address book before sending the mail.

 

Resolution

 

Although this is confusing, it is a normal thing for Outlook to do, and as such there is no remedy.

I have connected to a Free ISP using their CD, but Outlook Express won't work

Goto the top

 

Reason

 

Recently there has been an increase of the amount of Free ISPs that use another companies connections, one of which is Yahoo Onlne. We have had an increasing amount of mails because Yahoo Mail (which is what Yahoo Online uses) doesn't support Outlook Express.

 

Resolution

 

If your ISP also uses a connection like Yahoo, then you will need to use their web-based email service which can be found at an address like http://mail.yahoo.co.uk
