I lost all info on my last computer including email addresses.
When I try to send an email to 20 of my friends to inform them of my new address, (from my new computer) I recieve a prompt, when I hit send, that there are no matches for the email address I have typed in. I prompts only one address at a time, eg: if there are 20 addresses in the send to area it prompts that there is no match for the last one. If I delete the last one it prompts the next last one as not match found, and so on till there is only one address and then it sends the email These are good email addresses that I can send to one at a time but I get the above prompt when I add more than one. What can I do? -- hydroracer |

What can I do? Start by giving up some information. At this point - all we know is that you are attempting to send email. I cannot speak for everyone - but I have no idea what email client you are utilizing to send to these email addresses. (Outlook Express? Outlook? Thunderbird? Connecting to a web page and using that as a client? What email service then?) I have no idea how you are putting in these addresses (seperated by commas? semi-colons? what?) I have no idea what you have tried to fix it... (does it work if you put one in TO:, one in CC: and one in BCC?) Truthfully - I know you have Windows XP (or assume you do since you posted in WindowsXP.NewUsers) but I don't know which one (Home, Professional, Media Center, TabletPC, x64...) - nor do I know enough to know whether or not that will make a difference. Help us out - you can see your problem and the details surrounding it - let us know a few of them. ;-) -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

I am using Outlook express. My new operating system is XP Pro.
I may not have separated them properly. In fact I only put a space between each address. Is that my problem. Slow but determined I am !

Thanks for your reply - Open Outlook Express.. - Press the "F1" key OR go up to the "Help" in the menu at the top and click on it and select (click on) "Conetnts and Index" in the menu that drops down. - In the window that pops up - upper left area - click on the tab "Contents"... - In the left column, find and double-click to open the small 'purplish' book labeled "Creating and Sending E-mail messages" to "open" it and show more under it. - In the same area, under the "Creating and Sending E-mail messages" section you just expanded, click on (once) the words "Send an e-mail message"... On the right side you will see how to use Outlook Express to send email. It should say the following: To send an e-mail message 1. On the toolbar, click the Create Mail button. 2. In the To or Cc boxes, type the e-mail name of each recipient, separating names with a comma or a semicolon ( ; ). - To add e-mail names from the Address Book, click the book icon in the New Message window next to To, Cc, and Bcc, and then select names. - To use the Bcc box, on the View menu, select All Headers. 3. In the Subject box, type a message title. 4. Type your message, and then click Send on the toolbar. - Notes - - If you have multiple e-mail accounts set up and you want to use one other than your default account, click in the From box, and then click the e-mail account you want to use. - If you are composing a message offline, your message will be saved in the Outbox. It will be sent automatically when you go back online. - To save a draft of your message to work on later, on the File menu, click Save. You can also click Save as to save an e-mail message in your file system in e-mail (.eml), text (.txt), or HTML (.htm) format. The part you are interested in at this moment is: "... separating names with a comma or a semicolon ( ; ) ...". I would suggest that you utilize the built in help systems first - try using the search tab in the help files and using your own words - look for what you are trying to do. If that does not produce the answer you are looking for - I would suggest utilizing Google next, using your own words and breaking it down to the basics of the problem (what program you are using, what you are trying to do, etc.) Good luck! -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
