Outlook Express

Anyone have problems with Outlook Express?

It's always asking for my password, even though it's set to let me in in without it, then when I give it, it won't accept it. If I leave it and go back to it later, it's fine

I wont use it.. 90% of worms, Trogans and so called virus are aimed at MS products.... I love the browser and use it but I wont use the email software as its wide open to attack.

Forte Agent for more years than I care to remeber Perfect for mail and usenet.  An it only accepts plain text emails as should be.

I use full outlook and I had this problem when I first upgraded(?) to windows xp prof. Because I was the administrator it didn't want to write to the admin password file and so I had to re enter every time. I got fed up and just created a normal login with admin rights and that solved it. Don't know if thats the only solution but it worked for me.

So what's my alternative. I've just changed to Virgin internet, which I find is brilliant, but they don't have their own email thingy like AOHell.
I find yahoo is pretty slow.
What's forte agent ???

We have used MS Outlook "not MS Outlook Express" for the last few years, it has worked very well, i have just checked the contents of my MS Outlook....there are over 6 thousand emails in there...we also run the McAfee anti virus software...they seem to work well together....im off to back my mail up.

I have the same trouble with Outlook Express but in my case it is a recurring problem with my ISP (Ntl), it seems to be working well at the moment but it has been known to be as you describe for a couple of days at a time till they adjust  the system.
