How to download massages from outlook
I just made the switch from Netscape to Outlook Express and I’ve noticed that either Outlook isn’t getting messages from my newserver properly or I’m not downloading messages correctly. I’ve compared the RGP message list to the Forte Agent program I also have and that one always is up to date with the current messages. I prefer to use the same program for my email and newsreader otherwise I’d just use Agent all the time. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I’m pretty computer savy, but this is really making me feel like an idiot. Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.
Answer 1:
To check or enter your newserver info go to the Tools menu and click Accounts. The box that comes up should have a News tab. Click the properties button on that tab. Another box will come up. Make sure the correct server name is on the server tab. It should read something like netnews.home.com. On the connection tab make
sure you have your current internet connection selected.
Answer 2:
It’s unclear what the problem is. My interpretation is that you *are* downloading messages, but there are some messages missing, is that correct? If this is the case, check to see how many messages Outlook will load at a time. Tools > Options > Read : Download xxxx messages at a time. Set this figure depending on how often you check for new messages, considering that RGP attracts up to a couple of hundred a day. If this is set to low, you will always miss a percentage of the messages each time you download.
Answer 3:
Outlook 2000 does not have a news reader feature. You must use Outlook express. What bothers me is most is ISP new servers will only let you access them thru a dail-up, you cannot connect with a lan connection.
