This is many people are always angry, send links by e-mail from any version of IE is always included as an annex to Internet shortcuts as well as the text of the web site. What is even more annoying now, because Microsoft decided to be able to send a shortcut, including text from the Windows XP operating system, Web site, it is only one annex and replace a text in the message body.

This feature is a Windows file, sendmail.dll, it is updated and "improved" operating system. Unfortunately, the improved ability to remove the web site including text. OutlookHELL security features as a result, potentially dangerous attachments and links are blocked is considered dangerous to the annex. This means that only through a shortcut to the Outlook user is a waste of time because they can not annex off easily.
There are several solutions for this problem - a copy of all the end of the address bar, and paste in the message body, and then delete the text line is really lame. You can also drag the address bar, and it's message body. Outlook 2002 operating system in the Enter the URL of the text, rather than an annex.

Problems using MSN with Outlook?

Outlook 2000 requires MSN version 2.5 or later

To use MSN with Outlook 2000, you must have MSN version 2.5 or later. Outlook 2000 doesn't support MSN versions 2.0 and earlier. Trying to use a version of MSN earlier than 2.5 will result in problems.

f you have MSN 2.5 or later and can't send or receive e-mail, try the following:
Check your e-mail server settings

1. In Outlook, on the Tools menu, click Services. Click Internet e-mail, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Servers tab, and then check the entries in the Incoming Mail (Pop3) and Outgoing mail (SMTP) boxes. They should be in lowercase letters and should match the table below.

Incoming mail (Pop3) Outgoing mail (SMTP)
pop3.email.msn.com smtp.email.msn.com

If your e-mail server settings are not causing the problem, try one or more of the following, as appropriate:
If you are on a LAN, check your proxy settings

If you use MSN on a corporate network, contact your network administrator for the correct proxy settings for your LAN.
Check that your e-mail has been migrated to the MSN POP3/SMTP servers

If you're upgrading to MSN version 2.5 or later from an earlier version of MSN, check to see if your e-mail account has been migrated.

1. Go to the MSN Address Book.
2. Type your e-mail name in the E-mail name box, and then click Search.
If the return contains @email.msn.com, the e-mail account has been migrated and can use POP3/SMTP.

If the return contains @msn.com, the e-mail account hasn't been migrated. If this is the case, and if the incoming mail server is set to pop3.email.msn.com, you won't be able to log on. Migrate your MSN e-mail account to the POP3/SMTP servers.

Set or check Secure Password Authentication

1. In Outlook, on the Tools menu, click Services. Click Internet e-mail, and then click Properties.

3.Copy the Outlook Express folder and all its contents to the Documents folder on the computer running Windows Vista. (You can store this copy of the Outlook Express folder in a location other than the Documents folder, as long as you remember where to find it.) For information about how to copy a folder, see Copy files to another computer.

On the computer running Windows Vista, do the following:

1.Open Windows Mail by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Mail.

Service Pack 2 of Office 2007 is available

Technology - Microsoft has made available Tuesday evening SP2 of Office 2007. Improvements to the program's most anticipated, native support for PDF, ODF, XPS and increased speed of execution for Outlook.

The release of Service Pack 2 of Office 2007 does not cause as much excitement as the Release Candidate of Windows 7, it does not mean least important. Microsoft is working on for over a year and has made significant fixes to security on the one hand, but for performance and compatibility.

First improvement in long, native support of the open source OpenDocument format in Excel Format (. Ods), PowerPoint (. ODP) and Word (. Odt). In the same spirit, the PDF and XPS are also borne of origin. The inclusion of plug-ins. A turning point for Microsoft is to open direct competitors, such as Acrobat and OpenOffice.org.

Outlook has also benefited from a series of improvements. According to Microsoft, SP2 would provide 26% extra speed at the start and closure and for common tasks.

Available by download or via Windows Update soon, SP2 weighs 304 MB

Outlook and Slow HTML

It's amazing how often a seemingly innocent action by the user and an update for a program can affect negatively another. Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer, released in mid-May. After installing that update, Outlook 2003 responds very slowly when typing HTML messages.

The problem in this case is two-fold. First, users either added a large number of sites to IE's restricted zone or installed a "security" application that added them. The cumulative security update then changed the way the Internet Explorer 7 rendering engine interacts with the Restricted Sites zone and this change causes Outlook to pause after each keystroke while the IE7 rendering engine checked the sites in the zone.
The user has several options to fix this issue:
1.Remove the security update.
2.Switch to plain text formatted messages. Using RTF message format will fix the problem but should only be used when all of your recipients use Outlook.
3.Remove all of the unnecessary sites from the Restricted zone.
4.Use Word as the email editor.
Of these options, removing the security update should be the last resort. Editing out the chaff in the Restricted zone would be my first choice since too many users load it with sites they are unlikely to ever come across and which may no longer be "live". I'm a big fan of short blocked or restricted lists and long safe lists, so I would tighten the Internet zone and use the Trusted zone for the sites I visited often.

The advantages of using short restricted lists and longer safe lists is that too often the restricted address is only in use for a limited time before the webhost shuts it down. In the case of email addresses, so many spammers fake the sending address or only use them once. In either case, the software reads the list as needed, which slows down the response for the very few times it hits a valid entry. Safe lists, while long, are still much shorter than blocking every untrusted address in existence.
