Setting up Yandex mail on Outlook Express. How to disable compression of messages in the mail client

Outlook Express is an e-mail program included in the suite of programs supplied with the Windows XP operating system. With it, you can read incoming correspondence and send new letters without visiting the website of the postal service provider. The main function of the mail program is to pick up mail from mail server and save it to your computer.

In order for Outlook Express to receive and send mail, you need to configure it. The program can work with an unlimited number of mailboxes, but each mailbox needs to set up its own account. After that, the program can be used as intended.

Setting up an account (for example, mail.ru)

Launch Outlook Express (Depending on the menu settings: "Start" in the lower left corner of the screen, then "E-mail", or "Start" -\u003e Programs -\u003e Outlook Express).

After starting the program for the first time, when no account has yet been configured for email, the Mail Configuration Wizard appears.

If the mail setup wizard does not appear, then at the top in the Outlook Express menu select the "Service" item and the "Accounts" sub-item.



A window will open listing the available email accounts. The list is initially empty.

1. In the window with accounts, click on the "Add" button and select the "Mail ..." item.

   

2. At the first step of the connection setup wizard, enter your full name and click on the "Next" button. Subsequently, when you send letters using Outlook Express, recipients will see exactly this name in the "From" field when receiving a letter.

   

In the next step, enter your email address and click Next. Recall that, in most cases, the address looks like this:

[email protected]

For instance: [email protected]



The next step is to configure the email servers: inbound and outbound. The incoming email server is responsible for receiving emails, and the outgoing email server is responsible for sending. Each mail service provider has its own send and receive servers. Their addresses can be found on the help pages of the postal services sites.

Fill in the fields "Server of incoming messages" and "Server of outgoing messages". The figure shows examples of servers for receiving and sending messages for the mail site mail.ru. For addresses of servers of other mail services, see the end of the article.



3. In the "Sign in to your Internet account" step, in the "Account" field, enter your full email address. And in the "Password" field - the password from the entered e-mail and click "Next".

   

4. You will see congratulations on completing the creation of your email account. Click the Finish button, but that's not all.

   

5. One item will appear from the list of accounts with the address of the mail server to which you will connect. Select with the mouse this entry and click the "Properties" button.

   

6. The properties window for the selected account will be displayed. Go to the "Servers" tab, check the "User Authentication" box and click the "OK" button.

   

7. Close the list of e-mail accounts by also clicking "OK". Outlook Express is now ready to go! You can receive the messages you received by clicking on the "Deliver" button on the top panel of the program.

   

Settings for popular email sites

Setting up mail on yandex.ru

The steps described above for configuring Outlook Express for a mailbox on the Yandex site are correct. But in order to receive and send mail, you must additionally set the permission to connect the mail program to the Yandex server.

After these additional settings have been installed in your Yandex mailbox, the above method of creating accounts in Outlook Express will work.

Today, dozens of companies offer e-mail services, and these are only the largest in the Russian Internet. All of them are equipped with web interfaces that allow you to work through a browser, but it is too early to discount universal email clients, they are still in demand.

Microsoft Outlook is a popular, easy-to-use application that makes it easy to organize personal and group work on the Internet.

Setting for Yandex

Yandex began to provide e-mail services in 2000. Since then to this day this post service - one of the most popular in runet. Yandex easily provides its customers with the ability to exchange emails regardless of the provider and the network connection of their opponents. Most often, Outlook for Yandex is configured using the POP3 protocol. This is done quite simply. So, setting up Outlook mail is done as follows:

Outlook Express

It is believed that Outlook Express is a kind of light version of the classic Outlook. This is partly true. They have one developer, and Express was shipped with Microsoft OS until 2003. With the release of Windows 7, distribution stopped.

Their differences are that the classic was part of microsoft package Ofice, while Express was preinstalled on the operating system. The latter also lacks various additional functions. Setting up Outlook Express consists of the following steps:

1. Launch the application, open "Service", "Accounts".
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. In "Add" we click on "Mail".
4. Specify the name or alias that the recipient will see in the From line.
5. Enter your e-mail and "Next".
6. Select POP3 in the list of servers for incoming mail.
7. Specify parameters for outgoing mail.
8. In the "Account" type your mailing address.
9. Enter your password.
10. Click "Next" to complete the settings.

After you have registered your mail account for an efficient and comfortable work with your correspondence, you need to use special mail programs, which greatly facilitate our life.

In this article I will walk you through the process of setting up a mail microsoft programs Outlook Express and describe in detail all the steps required for this.

When we start Outlook Express for the first time, we see the following window:

The first thing we need is to enter your name in the name input field, here you can enter any name or nickname you like. It will be displayed in the From field of this letter.

After the name field has been filled in, the "next" button will light up, click on it and see the following window:

here, in the field for entering the e-mail address, we enter the e-mail you registered, here it is important to enter it accurately. After entering the address, click "next" and get to the next window:

In the field for selecting the server of incoming messages (1), as a rule, the POP3 protocol is most often used. So, first, select it, in case of an error, try to select another protocol, IMAP for example. POP3 is used to store the mailbox on the user's computer, and IMAP is used on the server.

In the field (3) the server of outgoing messages, you must also enter the address of this server.

In my case, the data for the incoming and for outgoing server the same, but this is not always the case, as a rule they are different.

After entering all these data, go to "next". Please note that all these three fields are required, moreover, the performance of your mailbox will depend on how correctly you fill them in. Therefore, here you need to enter all this data correctly.

After the transition, we get to such a window:

In the field "account" we enter the username you have chosen, to enter the mail, as a rule, you basically only need to enter a username, but in some cases it is also necessary to enter a domain, for example: [email protected]site, here it is already individually. But first, I recommend trying to just enter the login, without any domains.

In the "password" field, enter the password you invented, you can also check the "remember password" checkbox so as not to enter it constantly. Let's move on. The following window appears in front of us:

where we are congratulated on successful mail setup. We press "done". And we check the efficiency of the mailbox. To check the mailbox, you must press the key combination Ctrl + M or press the key:

or select the menu item "Tools"\u003e "Deliver Mail"\u003e "Deliver Mail".

Setting up Outlook Express

The e-mail program, without exaggeration, provides your connection with the whole world of computers and their owners. Apparently, this is why there are slightly more settings here than in the previous programs that we studied. But that shouldn't scare you. For the purpose of this book, I describe only the most necessary operations out of all the many possible, assuming that you will never need all of them.

Well, what you want to use, you will find out for yourself based on the knowledge and skills that you acquire by reading this book and using the built-in help of the program. For initial work, you can not configure anything at all, using already existing settings, the so-called settings default. I will describe the settings that allow me to work better with mail.

So, setting up Outlook Express.

This is done using the window Parameters, which is called from the menu Service? Parameters (fig.5.5).

Figure: 5.5. Outlook Express Options window

General tab

On startup, immediately open the Inbox folder - a very useful checkbox that allows you to see all your incoming emails at once. However, switching between folders in the area Folder list is very simple - by clicking on desired folder (This action is called selecting a folder).

In the area of Posts you will see all the letters that are in the selected folder.

Attention!

Select a folder, letter, message - click on the folder, letter, message.

Notify when there are new newsgroups - in this case, the program, using a special window, will inform you about the arrival of new information from various subscription sites.

By default, Outlook Express itself already has a subscription to some Microsoft servers. And whenever you use the services of any resources on the Internet, you will be offered a subscription to news and mailings.

This is one of the aspects of online business.

I recommend that you be very selective about such subscriptions. Experience has shown that subscribing to them is really easy. Alas, it is difficult to unsubscribe later, that is, to refuse these subscriptions. And they go to you due to your traffic, and therefore, for your money.

Personally, when interacting with Internet resources, I always carefully look out for the text "Subscribe to the newsletter" and uncheck the box already in front of such a text. Not sure if it always helps, though.

In frame Sending and receiving messages everything seems clear.

Deliver mail at the start of work means checking your mailbox when loading Outlook Express.

Check for new messages every ... allows you to set the time period for checking your mailbox. Here we need to clarify something. The connection between your computer and your ISP can be made via a telephone line or a dedicated one.

A dial-up connection is the cheapest, but it involves the seizure of this line for the entire time of working with the provider. In the case of such a connection, it is more reasonable to carry out the function of checking your mail on your own, without relying on the initiative of the computer.

Reading tab

I think that the default parameters will suit most program users. You can only pay attention to the button Fonts. It allows you to choose the font that displays all the messages that you read. If you check here Read all messages in text format, then, apart from the text in the letter, you will not see anything, but you may be sent some kind of multimedia letter with a picture (Fig. 5.6).

Figure: 5.6. Outlook Express options. Reading window tab

Tab Notifications

This tab defines the behavior of the program in cases when you receive letters with a read receipt request. If you yourself want to know whether your letter has reached the addressee, that is, you want to receive a notification that it has been read, you can also configure this function here (Fig.5.7).

Figure: 5.7. Outlook Express options. Window Notification Tab

If you would like to receive a read receipt for your letter, select this option. But you need to keep in mind that you will receive a notification only if your subscriber has not prohibited this operation (paragraph Never send a read receipt). If you check the operation Display notification requests, then Outlook Express will ask for your permission to send such a notification and only after your permission to send it.

Sending messages tab

This tab allows you to define the actions of the program when sending your messages (Fig. 5.8).

Figure: 5.8. The Sending messages tab of the Options window

In frame Sending messages there are such parameters.

Save a copy in the Sent Items folder - saves copies of your sent emails. This way, you can always see which of your emails really went to their destination. You will have to periodically clean this folder, that is, remove copies of sent letters to other folders or delete them.

Send messages immediately - when this item is enabled, immediately after writing a letter, Outlook Express tries to connect to the provider and send a message. It makes sense to enable this option when you have a permanent connection to the provider. If you are connecting using a telephone line, then it is better to disable this option. In this case, you will have to use special tool Deliver mail on the toolbar. Using this tool will allow you to simultaneously check your mailbox with the provider and send all letters prepared for sending.

Automatically enter recipients into the address book whose letters the user answers - after being included in your address book, all addresses will be entered to letters from which you reply. Very useful function... We will talk about the address book in the "Address Book" section.

Include original message text in reply - this checkbox allows you to insert the original message text into your reply, which you can edit. With intensive correspondence, it is easier to follow its content. The format of the original message that is included in your letter, you can choose yourself in the frame Format of messages sent team Setting up plain text? The indentation of the original text by ... characters when replying and sending. The character used to mark the lines of the original message is selectable.

Create message tab

This tab allows you to define the font, that is appearance your messages (Figure 5.9).

Figure: 5.9. The Create message tab of the Options window

In frame New message font you can customize the type of font used to type your message. In principle, you can do this while typing your message, but setting the font in this field will save you time later.

In frame Business Cards you can ensure that your business card is included in outgoing emails.

A business card is a vCard file with your contact information from the address book. To create a business card, create an entry in the address book with your own data, in the menu File point to Export and select Business card (vCard).To add a business card to a message, while editing in the menu Insert select Business card.

Signatures tab

Checkbox Add signatures to all outgoing messages allows you to do exactly what it says: add a basic signature to all your outgoing messages (Figure 5.10).

Figure: 5.10. The Captions tab of the Options window

Checkbox Do not add signature to replies and forwarded messages allows replies and forwarded messages handle in a special way, which is sometimes very useful.

To create a signature, click on the button Create. The signature name will appear in the signature field as Signature # 1.

Since such a name for a signature requires a strong memory and lack of a vivid imagination, it will be useful to rename it to a vivid and better memorable one. To do this, select the formal name, click on the button Rename and type a new name for the signature.

You can have several signatures - for different occasions. But in order for the computer to be able to figure out what's what, you must declare one of them as the main one. It will be inserted into emails by default. To do this, select any signature and click on the button Use as default.

After all this, you can use the buttons Apply or OK.Let me remind you, the button Apply allows you to fix all the settings made on this tab without removing the window Parameters. Button Additionally will allow you to match your signatures to your accounts if you have more than one.

Spelling tab

Frame Parameters - includes a spell check before sending a message, unlike Word, in which you can include spelling directly while typing.

I find this mode very useful and regret that mail servers do not have such a service, which leads to situations of increased blood circulation - especially when you read your already sent emails. But this is exactly the situation about which the proverb says: "What is written with a pen cannot be cut out with an ax" (Fig. 5.11).

Figure: 5.11. Spelling tab of the Options window

Suggest replacements for misspelled words turns on the mode when you can see options for replacing an incorrect word in the context menu if the computer recognizes this word. In addition to the general dictionary, the computer creates the Custom.dic user dictionary during operation. In it, you can include words that you think are correct, but which are not in the main dictionary. This is especially true of proper names. To edit this dictionary, use the button Edit user dictionary. You can replenish the dictionary from context menu team Add.

Frame Always skip when checking spelling allows you to cancel the spelling check in some cases, which allows you to save your nerve cells, but also excludes situations of self-assertion, when you with good reason can say: "Well, this machine is stupid, it doesn't know such simple things!" Joke.

Connection tab

Frame Internet connection usually configured when configuring the browser Internet Explorer... If you use the button Change ..., you thereby change the settings of Internet Explorer, which is better to do directly in it (Fig. 5.12).

Figure: 5.12. The Connection tab of the Parameters window

The Prompt on connection change check box remote access - indicates that if there are multiple dial-up connections, Outlook Express will display a message prompting you to disconnect the broken connection. This item is only meaningful when connecting using a telephone line.

Checkbox Break the connection after sending and receiving messages - Forces the computer to disconnect the Internet connection after you click on the toolbar button Deliver mail and the mail will be delivered. Makes sense when connected using a telephone line.

Security tab

Frame Virus protection allows you to at least to some extent protect yourself from viruses (Fig. 5.13).

Figure: 5.13. Security tab of the Options window

However, this defense is very illusory.

Rather antivirus outlook features can be called methods of detecting viruses on your machine.

This is exactly what the Warn me if applications try to send mail on my behalf setting applies to.

The idea behind enabling this option is that the earlier you find a virus on your computer, the better: the more likely you are to get rid of it with the least amount of loss.

A very important rule - do not be overly curious.

Do not disclose unknown attachments (these are letters with paper clips).

And adhere to the rule yourself: if you attach something necessary to the letter, do not be lazy to mention it in the body of the letter so that your recipient does not solve the problem: did you send it or did the virus catch on?

Many no longer even think about it: it is attached, but a friend does not write anything about it, which means that it must be deleted.

Well, if at all a stranger sent something in the attached file - kill without regret!

Outlook Express is a lightweight, more old version the famous mail program from Microsoft. The company no longer supports it, but Express is still widely used by non-migrant users. windows versions... Compared to the modern version of Outlook, it has a number of features that are worth knowing in order to set up a mailer before starting work.

How to set up Outlook Express to work with different sites

In order for messages from existing mailboxes to be redirected to Outlook Express, the program needs pre-setting... The configuration process is very similar for different mail sites, differing only in the data that must be entered and the protocols that can be used.

There are two protocols at the moment: IMAP and POP. IMAP is more functional, but POP is faster and "lighter". Which one is better is up to you, but the sites themselves prefer to provide data only for POP.

Before configuring, make sure that POP3 data transfer is enabled in your mail client. This is relevant only in the case of Yandex, since this permission is automatically enabled in other mail clients. It is located in the account settings: "Settings - Mail programs - From server via POP3".

Further steps are the same for each of the mailboxes. You need to go to Outlook Express and follow the path "Service - Accounts".
In your Outlook Express account settings, you can add new address mail

In the window that opens, select "Add - Mail" and start creating a new account. Each mailbox connected to Outlook Express must have its own account.

In the first window that opens, you need to specify your data. This is done so that the sender's name is automatically added to outgoing mail.
The first thing to do when setting up is to enter your username

The next step is to enter the email address to connect to the client. The address is entered completely, without errors.
You must enter the email address from which you will receive messages

Now comes the fun part. Select a server for incoming messages (for outgoing messages it is set by default) and specify the data of the server from which the information will be received. Each site has its own data, but companies willingly provide them. The list of these servers is presented in the table below.
Server input for incoming and outgoing messages using Mail as an example

Almost ready! It remains only to add your account data: e-mail address (login) and password. Here you can also enable remembering the password so that you do not have to enter it every time.
You need to enter your username and password to log in to the system

Done! But that's not all. It is highly advisable, after configuration, to enable a secure connection, which ensures greater reliability of emails. To do this, go back to the account settings, click on the newly added one and click "Properties".
To configure the properties of an account, you need to enter the appropriate panel, find the desired address and click "Properties"

In the window that opens, you can change any of your data if something is entered incorrectly, or apply new parameters. The tab we need is "Advanced": it is in it that the secure connection is configured. In the window that opens, you can change the account settings

In the "Advanced" tab, check the boxes next to the "Connect via secure connection" option. Another useful item is "Leave a copy of messages on the server": by default, after synchronization, mail is removed from the account on the mail site. To keep copies of messages in the Mail or Yandex client, you must enable this item.

Table: server data for different mailboxes

	Mail	Yandex	Ukr.net
Inbox	IMAP: imap.mail.ru POP3: pop.mail.ru	pop.yandex.ru	pop3.ukr.net
Outbox	smtp.mail.ru	smtp.yandex.ru	smtp.ukr.net

Where are Outlook Express emails and profile stored?

Knowing where all incoming and outgoing mail is located can be extremely important, for example, when reinstalling the system. fortunately, there is no mystery about this: by default, the program uses the following path. Accounts are located in the same folder. But the passwords for them are encrypted deep in the registry, and you just can't get to them - only with the help of special programs.

C: \\ Documents and Settings \\<имя пользователя> \\ Local Settings \\ Application Data \\ Identities \\ (identification number) \\ Microsoft \\ Outlook Express

Sergei
mail.ru

Here "Username" is the name of your computer's account, and the identification number is some long number that may differ depending on the configuration.

It is worth noting that you will not be able to enter this folder just like that: you may need administrator rights and the disabled option "Hide system files and folders ". This can be done in the settings menu along the following path: "Start - Control Panel - Files and Folders / Explorer Options / Folder Options / Folder Options (depending on the version of Windows, this item is called differently)".

By the way, the storage location of letters can be changed: this is done in the Outlook Express settings along the path "Service - Options - Maintenance - Message Bank".

In Outlook Express, you can view and configure the location where data will be stored

Disable compression

By default, Outlook Express asks the user every time the program is closed if he wants to compress messages to free up some disk space. Even if the user answers “OK”, after a while the client will ask him about it again. And if you click on "Cancel", the program will start offering compression every time. Users generally find this feature annoying and want to get rid of it.

This message appears very often in Outlook Express and interferes with work

In older versions, the problem is solved simply: just go to the "Service - Options - Maintenance" path and uncheck the "Compress messages" item in the window that appears.

D older versions of Outlook Express to disable compression, just uncheck the "Compress ..." item in the settings

But with new ones you have to work hard. It is impossible to disable compression there, and a notification window starts to appear every time the program is launched, if the number of times the user has turned on the program exceeds 100. Obviously, Microsoft believes that after a hundred applications of the program, the message bank grows to unimaginable sizes.

It is impossible to get rid of the annoying offer forever. But you can reset the inclusion counter.

First you need to go to system registry... To do this, press Win + X and type regedit in the window that appears. The Registry Editor will open.

You will have to manually search for the place where the launch counter is stored. In order not to waste time on a long search in the registry branches, click "Edit - Find" and type the name of the counter into the search box: Compact Check Count.

Once the desired variable is found, click on it right click mouse and select the "Change" option.

The variable value window will show a number describing the number of starts. This is what we need! Remove that number and write 0 instead.

Now the program will consider that it has been turned on 0 times, and will not offer compression to the user. However, after the next hundred starts, the procedure will have to be repeated.

Outlook Express is easy and convenient to use if you know how to set it up. It can be a good assistant in sorting and sending letters from different mailboxes. And if it starts to bother you with compression, you can always turn it off!
