Tips
for Microsoft Outlook
Outlook Express
automatically checks for new messages periodically while the program is open and
you are connected. If at any given time you want to force the software to check
for messages immediately, click the Send and Receive button in Internet Mail.
If
Outlook Express seems to hang while sending and receiving messages, you can restart
that process by telling it to Stop and then click Send and Receive again. To
write a new message, simply click on the New Mail button. Make sure you enter
in the full Internet e-mail address correctly to ensure the message gets where
it's supposed to go. When
replying to a message, just click the normal Reply button. This will send your
reply to the author of the message that you're replying to. If
a message you're replying to was sent to a group of people, you can click the
Reply to All button to send your reply to everyone on the list, but it is advised
that you do this only when necessary.
