Email quota exceeded: solution

I’ve exceeded the email quota and continually get the annoying message. Obviously, I don’t want to delete the important messages I have. What is the best solution for me?
Sandi Gomez

You can quickly solve the email quota exceeded issue by either getting additional storage or freeing up some space… not necessarily by deleting messages. But before I detail those two options, here are a few things you need to check at your account.

Combine email accounts

How do I combine all 4 of my email accounts into one folder so I can see all my mail at once?
Ernie Luna

The simplest way to combine all your email accounts and check messages at one place is through an email program or an email client. Additionally, the email messages will be downloaded and stored on your computer which means they would be available even without an internet connection. To know more, read the advantages of email programs.

Programs similar to Outlook Express

Since O.E. doesn’t work on my new Windows 7 laptop, what can I use? I am looking for programs similar to Outlook Express.
Jerry Rochelle

Sadly, Outlook Express is missing on Windows 7 and there is no way you can get it on that operating system – at least that’s what I have learnt. Maybe there is a way to hack into Internet Explorer and the program installation file but I suppose this would entail too much effort. So which email program can you use on Windows 7? Yes, there is Windows Live Mail, but, as most users would tell you, it’s quite different from Outlook Express. However, there is hope!

Get Windows Mail on Windows 7

I had hardly used Windows Mail on Vista. The day I learnt that it’s no longer being supported by Microsoft, I downloaded and installed their new email program (Windows Live Mail) and have been quite satisfied. But not many people share my views – to each his own. Windows Live Mail differs markedly from Outlook Express and Windows Mail in both the layout and the way it organizes messages and that has resulted in a lot of irritated users.

Anyway, I thought wrongly that Windows Mail is absent from Windows 7. Actually the program is very much there… though “hidden”. And fortunately the Vista email program can be made to run on the new operating system. People have been kind enough to post step by step instructions on how to get Windows Mail on your new Windows 7 computer.

Filter or block unwanted emails

I have some acquaintances that are constantly bombarding me with emails. I’ve gotten to the point when I say to myself : No More !!! These messages reach the email inbox directly and I have to spend considerable time trying to weed them out. Is there a way to filter or block unwanted emails? Thank you in advance.

An email message sent to your account will typically be delivered directly to the inbox. However, there are a couple of ways to change this default action at your Hotmail account. More »

Download Live email

I have been using live.com as my email. I want to download my mail to my computer and work with it there … offline … comfortably. I HATE the way Live has their display set up. I find their “features” slow and cumbersome. Even though most of that is probably because I have a slow connection… and I cannot do anything about it. I have been floundering around for 2 months trying to resolve this problem. Can you give me any direction??? Thanks. (I have VISTA … ughhhhh)

Downloading messages from an online account and storing them on your computer requires the use of an email program or an email client in geeky language. Does Outlook Express, Outlook, or Windows Mail ring a bell? These are all email programs. So which one should you use to download Live email? More »

Hotmail automatically deleted my email?

I logged in at my account yesterday (like I do daily) and saw that Hotmail has automatically deleted email. I can no longer find 5 years worth of email. Where have they all gone? I am really worried – there were some very important messages. How can I get those emails that were removed from my account? Also, can you tell me why this has happened? I trust that Hotmail, being such a popular service, will not make its users go through this ordeal.
Mina Sabry

The small print on most of these free email services clearly states that they cannot be held responsible for the loss of information (messages and/or contact list). Thus, if Hotmail has ‘automatically’ deleted email from the account, don’t put the blame squarely on them. It was your duty to take a backup of the Hotmail email. Anyway, on the bright side, the chances of recovering the missing messages are pretty high. More »

Configure Hotmail on Windows Live Mail

By default, Windows Live Mail, the recommended free email program for Windows 7, sets up a Hotmail email address using the HTTP protocol. This keeps the account on your computer in tune (or synced) with the one on the server. But now with the availability of free Hotmail POP access, one can also configure the account on Windows Live Mail through the Post Office Protocol. And why should you do this? Read on. More »

Block spam at Yahoo email account

I get too much spam at my Yahoo account. I was thinking of changing the email address. But, as you probably know, that’s not easy. Open to any sensible advice.
Donald Morrow

I don’t agree… it’s easy to change a Yahoo email address. But I don’t think it will work in your case… and it does bring forth additional problems. I am kind of surprised that your account is inundated with spam because Yahoo takes great pride in the accuracy of its filter. Anyway, there are two ways to block spam at your Yahoo account. One is to use a free third party service and the other is to pay a nominal sum to upgrade the account to Plus. Let me walk you through these two options. More »

Free online paint program

Seldom do I come across a program or an online service which makes me go “WOW”! SumoPaint is a free online paint program created using Adobe Air Technology and rivals the company’s famous graphics editor, Photoshop. Though the program can run in a browser window, you can also download the Pro version for a measly 19 euro and it can be installed on Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. More »
