Outlook Express Question

[folex187]

Is there a way to have Outlook Express not automatically download the messages if I do not want to view them (like the way hotmail is set up)? The reason I ask is I am being bombarded with viruses and every time I open my mail my system becomes unstable and norton pops up later with on average about six viruses deleted...
Thanx,
Alex

so you mean upon boot-up of the PC? if so, take it out of msconfig.

or the startup folder.

are u talking about the preview window or downloading them off the server? If u mean downloading the server, all u can do is tell it to keep a cpoy on the server (as far as i Know) but u can't prevent them from downloading. Hope that helped (prob didn't)

first of all FGS turn the preview pane off! :shock: (go to view, then to layout then uncheck preview pane.) Then configure the send/recieve (go to tools, then to options, then uncheck the "check for messages at startup" :roll: , also if you don't want it to check for messages automatically then uncheck the "check for messages every----- minutes" tab) I hope this helps :wink:
