'Cannot Open Default Email Folders. Server Is Not Available'
Nov 30, 2011
I have a user who is using Outlook 2010, and intermittently recieves the error "Cannot open default email folders. Server is not available." When she receives this error, outlook closes.She is connecting to a POP3 account online, everything checks out in the "mail" settings in the control panel. Her .pst files aren't too big.I've tried a repair install, an uninstall followed by a fresh install, and updating to SP1 for Office 2010. Nothing seems to be helping, it is hit and miss when it does it, which makes it that much harder to troubleshoot.
When I click to open the outlook on my windows 7 operating system it says loading profile for ages then and error message appears with "Can't open your default email folders. Express can't open. Your server may be down for maintenance."
HUsually the first option at the top of the right-click menu is 'Open' but for some reason mine has 'cmd' at the top instead.Whenever I try to open file folders with just a click, the error message "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
I keep getting this popup and it says 'The email server is currently unavailable!'. It happens regularly but not all the time and sometimes all at once. You know like buses! Thanks for your help in advance!
P.S It seems as though it's nothing to do with the email client.
We are a small company with 15 users and we have been blacklisted in several sites for sending spam, everytime we ask for removal, they do, but after few days, we are there again. Cash flow in the company is really tight, we can not afford to pay a tech guy!
I need some help with a project, we have an app that runs on local users' machines via Terminal Services. This software needs to be able to send out reports via e-mail, but it is still in its early phase and doesn't have e-mail support built in.Are there any programs that allow sending of email in the background? I.e. without having to open outlook, and create a new message?Something similar to the way the old Linux software Ghost in the Mail worked?
I need an email server to replace Outlook express. In OEI could format the background with sounds, stationary, and graphics. What email program will do that and work with Windows 7? I have downloaded Thunderbird, Pegasus, eM Mail, and have searched through Microsoft Outlook and cannot find anything which will allow formatting the email.
When I try to interact with a website to ask questions, I get the default mail server not properly installed. I have tried a number of things to no avail. Is there a fix for this? I have Windows 7 on a 64 bit computer.
I recently re-installed Windows 7 to my hard drive and subsequently re-installed the VPN needed to access a remote server for work. I can connect to the server, but don't see any of the drives and/or folders within the servers. The tech at work said I had to configure my network to allow VPN traffic, but didn't explain how.
I have set my outlook express to the default email but when i go to say craig's list and reply to the address they give it goes straight to gmail which i don't use anymore. i set up a fake account to use and use my outlook express email address to send from the gmail account.
Is the address i reply to on there set up on gmail or is there another setting i need to do to have outlook open up. Its a couple of reply to addresses that jump right to gmail just a little confused thanks for any input. I'm using windows7 64 professional.
I just baught a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with Windows 7 and am connected to the internet via my wireless remote. I can surf the net so I know I'm connected. I am supposed to have my email set up so that what I receive in my inbox on my desktop also shows up in my inbox on the laptop. I can send and receive fine on the desktop (Windows XP & Outlook Express), but when I try to send and receive mail in Windows Live on the laptop, I get this error messaage:
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test' Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E Protocol: SMTP Port: 425 Secure(SSL): Yes Socket Error: 10060
I occasionally will receive messages, but I can never send.
I fly for a VA on my computer. They require me to file a pilot report to my hub manager. Since installing W7, when I try to send the report I get the attached message.
I have three accounts in WLM. One of them is not working properly.FYI I had this same problem when backing up my system last year. I never resolved it and just lived with it. Now I am setting up a new computer and the problem is still here.When I reply to a message in this account it reverts to sending it with the default email. So it does not include the signiture and does not send from the correct account. The trick is it only does this with the transfered/backed up emails. Since I've setup my new computer and configured the three accounts in WLM I have two new emails in that account. I can send from those just fine and windows recognizes the account I'm sending from and puts in the proper signiture. So it only does it to the "old" emails that I backed up. For some reason WLM is not properly reading those "old" emails and recognizing the account they are from.Again this happened a year ago but I just lived with it. As after a few days I would be replying to new emails and it would work fine. If I went back and tried to reply to an email that was "old" or "backed up" it would revert to sending with my default email just as my new computer is doing now.
I know with Vista there was Windows Mail or whatever it was, and with 7 they removed that.
Let me state this very clearly. I DO NOT WANT THAT PROGRAM.
I have Hotmail, I would like to KEEP that. The problem is, when I go to click a link that would open up email, I get an error saying I do not have an email program and to please get one.
Is there a way to set it back so that when I click on an email link it opens IE and directs me to Hotmail?
I have 3 accounts setup in my outlook 2010. Usually when i open my program it would open the dafault email adress first. Now it just loads a random one that i do not want to see first. I've tried removing the account but that does not work because it still appears in the sidebar without the mail getting sync and i can not deleted it. How can i change what email adress is open by default, also how can i delete that account that no longer sync, there is no delete button when right clicking

I hate that resource hungry application and choose to use hotmail directly in the browser... but how to I set hotmail to be default email? im always logged in to hotmail on chrome, there are ways to set it for Vista using an application but it wont run on windows 7.
I just bought a new dell laptop which has the OS Windows 7 allready installed on the hard-drive.
Anyway I would like to change the defualt email from Outlook to Yahoo.mail. I have followed all instructions on both Windows 7 tutorials and yahoo tutorials but I have not been successful.
