Re: Typical MS, Outlook Express?

I have been trying to use both OE5.02 and Eudora 6.1 with my iMac400, OS9,2,2, but have been unable to send messages using Juno (paid server for Mac) as my ISP. I have followed all the info from Juno in setting up my accounts, but still no success in sending message from these two mail servers. Any suggestions? I use this hotmail acount also for E-mail and can transfer from hotmail IE to OE, but can't send using my hotmail E-mail either.

Outlook Express 5.02 has usually been completely reliable for me with OS
9.2.2 on a QuickSilver G4, OS 9.2.1 on a Lombard G3 laptop, and an older
version with OS 8.1 on a Performa 6300.  This includes many copy/pastes of
the Identities Folders from one Mac or hard drive or volume to another.  The
one exception involved making an alias of the Identities Folder work when I
had it on a volume separate from the OE Folder.  Once I learned how to do
it, it worked fine.

The Identities Folder has a Main Identity Folder within which are the
Messages themselves and the Database which controls the storage of the
messages.  This folder may be in the OE Folder, in a Documents Folder, or
even in the System Folder.  In any case, if you want to check things out,
start by looking at the sizes of the Database and the Messages documents.
If they are larger than a nominal 4 or 16 K or something like that, then the
messages are there.  If so, try moving the Microsoft User Data Folder which
contains the Identities Folder back into the Outlook Express Folder and see
what happens.     Al Poulin
