Send executable (exe) file as email attachment through Gmail

I wanted to send an executable (.exe) file as email attachment from Gmail to a friend of mine who also has Gmail. Unfortunately, it is not letting me upload this executable file. I also cannot send this file when I compress it as a zip. I learnt that Gmail does not allow exe files. Can you help?
Akshay

Gmail will not let you send and receive executable files as email attachments. Google does this to protect their servers and, I suppose, the users’ computer. And, yes, even if you cloak it as a compressed zip file, the .exe will still not be uploaded on Gmail. But I could manage to do this successfully!

Access Outlook Express from different computer

My home and office computers have Windows XP and Windows 7, respectively. Sometimes I need to check emails on my home computer from office. How can I access my Outlook Express email from a different (office) computer? Also, how can I attach pics in a format that makes them smaller? They only attach as very large photos right now and it takes too long to send out and receive. THANK YOU
Louise

Outlook Express is an email client that lets you download and store email on a computer. Generally, once the messages are downloaded by the program they are deleted from the server, though you can change this feature by modifying the account settings in Outlook Express.

Delete email from webmail – Windows Live Mail

I have Windows Live Mail and when I delete an email, it does not get removed on webmail. Thus, when I’m away from my computer and have to use webmail through the Cox homepage, all the mail I deleted on Windows Live Mail is still on my webmail email account. This didn’t happen with Windows Mail or Outlook Express. Very confusing, can you help….Thank you
Jay Deubel

Import contacts from computer to Windows Live Hotmail

How can I import contacts that I have on my computer to the Windows Live Hotmail email account. The information is in Windows Contacts and I want to get this contacts list to the online email account. I suppose this would not be a difficult job but I am confused and not very proficient with computers.
Zubair Shah

It is indeed quite easy to import contacts information that you have on your computer to a Windows Live Hotmail email account. All it takes is to export the Windows Contacts data to a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file and upload it to the online email service.

Outlook Express vacation reply

Can you tell me how to set up Outlook Express vacation reply? I would like people to receive a “Do not send email” while I am away.
Margaret Warren

You can have Outlook Express send a vacation reply by using the message rules feature. Though it’s quite simple to create a message rule in Outlook Express, it works only when the email client is running. Thus, if your computer is switched off while you are away on vacation, no replies will be sent. But don’t be disheartened – at the end of this post, I provide a couple of options, one of which may just work for you – let us first tackle the issue at hand.

Roadrunner email on Outlook Express

All email from your Roadrunner account can be downloaded and saved on your computer with the help of email programs. And Outlook Express is probably the most popular client in the world. Unfortunately, the development and support for it has been stopped and Microsoft urges all users to migrate to Windows Live Mail desktop client.

Outlook Express was the default email program on XP and some older versions of the Windows operating system. It was replaced with Windows Mail on Vista. Both these programs have given way to Windows Live Mail. This new email client is already installed on Windows 7 computers can be quickly loaded on XP and Vista as well.

Difference between Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail

I have been a loyal user of Outlook Express for many years and understand that this program has been replaced by Windows Live Mail on Windows 7 operating system. Can I use all my four email addresses in Windows 7 – even Hotmail and Gmail? It would be nice to know the differences between Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail before I take the plunge. Thankful for any advice and suggestions.
Abraham Pureen

You’ve rightly learnt that Windows Live Mail is the default email software on Windows 7 just like Outlook Express was on Windows XP. The basic function of these programs is to download email from the online server and store in on your computer. However, there are many stark differences between Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail. But before I get into that, let me answer your first question.

Error number 0X800CCC0D – Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail

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 Shaw email account in Outlook Express

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.
