Other Tips

  • To find where Outlook Express have stored all your mails, go to Tools>>Options>>Maintenance. Click Store Folder button and you can see the store folder where mails are backed up. You can either copy this location OR change the store folder to another convenient folder like D:/MailBackup
  • You may also go to Tools>>Accounts>>Mail and export your mail settings to a convenient location, so that you may import it at a later occasion.
  • For Google Apps sites, sometimes Outlook Express might repeatedly ask for passwords for your account. To resolve this issue, you may need to clear a captcha for your email account by following these steps:
  1. Disable all POP clients you're using to read mail. If you use one at work and one at home, please disable both. (close outlook express)
  2. From the computer on which your POP logins are failing, visit https://www.google.com/a/mydomain.com/UnlockCaptcha
    dont forget to change mydomain.com to your domain name
  3. Enter your email username and password, and the letters in the distorted picture.
  4. Once you have successfully logged in, restart your mail client and try to download your mail.
