Huge MSN web site ad – the page background!
Posted on March 29, 2010 under Other | Leave a comment
I came across this a couple of days ago and found it a novel (at least for me) way to get the message across to the viewer. The huge MSN web site ad is not ‘intrusive’ in the true sense of the word but does change the ‘complexion’ of the page.

Error number 0X800CCC0D – Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail
Posted on March 27, 2010 under Email, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail | 1 Comment
How to fix 0X800CCC0D error I receive in Outlook Express version 6? I want to check for new messages and the program is showing this error number.
Milton Banks
The error number 0X800CCC0D is shown by Microsoft email clients, the popular Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail, when the program cannot find the host (refer image below). As you probably know, when someone sends you an email, it doesn’t arrive on your computer straightaway. It is first stored on your email account on a server, a computer connected to the internet 24/7. To download the messages to your computer, you need to use an email client/program.

Set up BTInternet email account on Windows 7 – Windows Live Mail
Posted on March 23, 2010 under Email, ISP, Windows 7, Windows Live Mail | 1 Comment
Windows Live Mail is the latest email client from Microsoft and comes as the default email program on Windows 7. FYI, it can be installed on Windows XP and Vista computers too. Even though the program is based on the popular Outlook Express email client (as per Microsoft), message organization and interface of the two are quite different.
To add your BTInternet email account in Windows 7 I recommend using Windows Live Mail – you can actually employ any email client; read the last line in this post. Once the account has been set up on Windows Live Mail, you would be able to download and store email on the local computer. Multiple BT Yahoo accounts can all be added and configured in Windows Live Mail.

Set up Shaw email account in Outlook Express
Posted on March 21, 2010 under Email, ISP, Outlook Express | Leave a comment
I want to use Shaw email with Outlook Express and I already have the program on my Windows XP computer. Shaw told me that I need to set up the email account but have no idea how to proceed. Would greatly appreciate any help in this matter.
Daniel Israel
Your Shaw email account can easily be set up in Outlook Express, the default email program on Windows XP computer. With this you would be able to download and store messages on your computer; thus, email is accessible even without an internet connection.
If you have multiple Shaw email accounts, all of them can be set up in the email client. You can either use Outlook Express Identities to segregate the different users or just put them together and then create message rules to sort incoming email to different folders.

Get Shaw email on Windows 7 – Windows Live Mail
Posted on March 21, 2010 under Email, ISP, Windows Live Mail | 3 Comments
I had Outlook Express installed on my old system and used the Shaw email with it. Now I have a new Windows 7 laptop. How can I get Shaw email on this computer? I don’t see any email program that I can use and desperately need to check the account for some important messages.
Michael Dickerson
Though Outlook Express is missing on Windows 7 operating system, a nicer and better, as some may opine, alternative is available in Windows Live Mail. However, this new email client differs significantly from Outlook Express in the way it organizes email accounts and messages. There is no common inbox because each account that’s added in the program gets its own set of five folders – “Inbox“, “Drafts“, “Sent items“, “Junk e-mail” and “Deleted items“. So if you have 3 Shaw email accounts, you’ll end up with a 3 inboxes and 15 folders!
