I'm trying to get rid of the following in Outlook Express that continues to

Crossposted to OE General newsgroup.
Please define "on entry". HTTP is not a host or account name. Port 119 is used for most NNTP servers. When exactly does this happen? More info needed.

Error message
When the program starts, Outlook Express attempts to download
messages from a mail server at an invalid address. This is a configuration problem with one of the mail accounts on your computer. It has nothing to do with any newsgroup subscriptions. The following steps should do the trick: Open Outlook Express. Click on Tools | Accounts... Select the Mail tab. Scroll down and select the mail account named "http". Now you have two choices. 1. To remove the account completely, click on the Remove option, or 2. To correct the address of mail server, click on Properties. Check the data that has been entered under the General, Servers, and Advanced tabs - and amend any incorrect details. You might need to contact the mail service provider for that particular account, to obtain the correct details for that particular mail service. Alternatively, someone on this newsgroup might be able to offer suggestions. If so, we would need to know the part of the email address that follows the @ symbol (NOT your complete email address). We might also require the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). "Michael" wrote in message ... I'm trying to get rid of the following in Outlook Express that continues to pop up on entry.

Bob
I've unchecked 'Include this account when checking for new messages.' Rebooted, re-entered Outlook Express. The message no longer appears. So, thanks for helping me resolve this issue. Also while I'm here. Sometimes I get an issue whereby, my posts or threads refuse to send via the outbox feature. So wondering if you could 'throw some light' on why this sometimes happens? In particular since it can end up being an inconvenience not only to myself, yet, the remaining contacts trying to get help from this forum. Best regards Michael "Bob Lucas" wrote in message ...

Unchecking 'Include this account when checking for new messages'
will remove the immediate problem with your "http" mail account. However, one of your mail accounts in Outlook Express has not been set up properly. It would be better to configure the account correctly - or remove it completely. I presume your other problem relates to newsgroup postings only. There could be so many causes. Next time a post "refuses to send", please copy and post the complete error message. Then, someone will probably be able to help.

I have not been trying to set up a Hotmail account. If the issue (that's
intermittant) occurs with me, then it can happen to anyone. This being, in all the associated forums in Outlook Express. To add more backbone. I have known the thread to remain in the 'outbox' after selecting the 'Send' option. Other times, I can send without any trouble along the way. Meanwhile, the purpose of Mr Lucas transferring my details to this forum is that as and when the issue arises, is to obtain the relevant feedback on the causes.

Thanks Bob for crossposting my thread for me. I've now got this 'forum' up
and running in Outlook Express and await further threads to this effect. Meanwhile, if a duplicate issue appears it is because my most recent posting has again, failed to send. And there is nothing in the outbox to this effect. So, consequently, I cannot copy any messages appearing. Still, I should at least let you know how I get on with any useful postings in the Outlook Express forum. All the best Michael "Bob Lucas" wrote in message ...
