Outlook hangs

In the Outlook Express folder delete Old.dbx change the file name from Old.bak to Old.dbx
Also, if this does not help, try as a last resort use a special software.

When you scan a document it must be scanned with OCR software. The default scanning method will scan a document as a picture, not a document with letters and words. The OCR software will recognize the letters and put the scanned document in the proper format to open it with MS Word. The software that you scan with should have a setting for OCR, read your instructions or help files to get the details if you can not find them very easy in the software you use for scanning. .

The problem with using Outlook may be that you have not set it up properly to get your emails from your email server. You do not need to use Outlook or Outlook express to send any documents, you can use your web based email server if you like, but you can use Outlook Express as well. You just need to add the document to send as an attachment to the email.

To set up Outlook Express to get your email, you must first find out what the POP3 and SMTP setting you must use. You can get that information from your email provider, it is different for every email provider. Then you go to the "File" menu at the top left of Outlook Express and select "Identities" and select "Add New Identity" and from there you will go thru a wizard to guide you thru the process of setting up your email client. Just make sure you have the POP3 and SMTP settings available for you to put into Outlook Express when prompted to in the wizard.

oh yes....
Click on tools at the top once you open your outlook express, go to accounts or email accounts.
click on Add at the right top > Add Mail. follow the wizard..... and choose the following settings.

For those customers having an Email: [email protected]

Email Client: Outlook Express or Outlook or Vista mail

My Incoming Mail server is a "POP3" SERVER.
Incoming mail server: mail.magma.ca
Outgoing mail server: mail.magma.ca

- Do not check --> log on using secure password authentication.
- Check --> my server requires authentication.
- Check --> use same settings as my incoming mail server.

Server Port Numbers:
Outgoing Port: 25
Incoming Port: 110

if you are configuring outlook to a mail server , you should ask administrator what Max attachment limit is. usually there has to be a limit on sending attachments and it differs from mail service provider to other

Either the message you are trying to send is too big, e.g contains a too large attachment, or your mailbox on the server is full...
