switching back to outlook from express
I switched from outlook to outlook express as my primary mail access, not
realizing it would go to my old e-mail address from South Carolina as a default, and that I would lose all my messages in my outlokk inbox. I want to switch back. How can I do this? |

Outlook mail doesn't come "on a page". even though it allowed me to enter the optonline.net info, it won't let me get to that e-mail. Define "won't let me get". Do you get any error messages?

switching back to outlook from express
First, when I sign in, it comes up as popserver earthlink.net, which isn't
true, and I hit cancel until it goes away. Then I tried to remember how I got my optonline.net account to be my e-mail primary when I first set up here in July, and tried to do it again. I wound up in Import Mail Settings, and just followed that. But it didn't change anything. Does that answer your questions, or do you need more details? I know you are trying to help me and I appreciate it, don't mean to sound like I have an attitude, just am frustrated by this situation. Thanks, again.

Brian,
I have looked at the website for outlook express that you mentioned, and also under tools in the accounts section of the menu, and I can't figure this thing out. Can you give me a play by play of what I should see, or something like that? Thanks.

What I meant was what are the account settings as described in ToolsE-mail AccountsNext page and on the More Setttings pages? I know you are trying to help me and I appreciate it, don't mean to sound like I have an attitude, just am frustrated by this situation. You don't sound like you have an attitude at all. (Maybe because I can't hear you grin.) -- Brian Tillman |

Brian,
It looks like I figured it out, somehow, but as of this moment, all the stuff I had in my account on my computer isn't there. Will it show up after I restart? Thanks.

Can you give me a play by play of what I should see, or something like that? First, set up your account in OE with ToolsAccounts. Enter the values that your ISP has given you. Remove any other accounts or uncheck the "Include this account..." button for them. This should be all you need to do for OE. -- Brian Tillman |
