Guest musiclover Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 In OE theHELP says yu can set the inbox to DL headers only. HOW? I can find the 'folders' list page but can not find 'settings' for say the inbox. when on dialup i want to set it toDL headers only, then i could delete the message or choose to DL the whole message. How do we set this up in OE?
Guest PA Bear Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: OE download headers only - how?? The Headers Only option is available for (1) IMAP mail, (2) HTTP mail, and (3) newsgroups. It is /not/ available for POP3 mail. -- OE-specific newsgroup: http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) musiclover wrote: > In OE theHELP says yu can set the inbox to DL headers only.

Guest Ron Badour Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: OE download headers only - how?? This is a question more appropriate for an OE newsgroup: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general&cat=en_US_fd0c7c3f-951a-4c1c-95bb-cef7d67581b0&lang=en&cr=US I may be wrong but I think what you are referring to in the help file about headers pertains to newsgroups rather than email. But, the OE experts may have a solution for you. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "musiclover" <msforum@thesingingdj.com> wrote in message news:DC8158BD-789C-49C8-81FD-966C5ACD5838@microsoft.com... > In OE theHELP says yu can set the inbox to DL headers only.

Guest Andrew Murray Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Re: OE download headers only - how?? I assume this is for *newsgroups*not your standard POP3 email account? Choose the news server for the group you're wanting to download headers only. There will be a list of all the subscribed NG's on that particular server eg msnews.microsoft.com will contain this windowsxp.general and others. Either Right click the group, then go to Synchronisation Settings, and choose "Headers Only". OR Go to the list with the three buttons "Synchronise Account", "Newsgroups...", "Settings". Click "Settings" then choose "Headers Only".

Guest V Green Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Re: OE download headers only - how?? If you want to get POP3 headers only, use nPOP: http://www.nakka.com/soft/npop/index_eng.html This is what I use when getting email off my Globalstar satphone (9600 bps) out in the middle of nowhere. Small, fast, does what it's supposed to do. Does NOT interact with OEX at all, so you can run them on the same machine. I delete crap with nPOP, and view/answer plain text email with it. It can handle attachments, but not as easily as OEX. After cleaning up with nPOP, I can run OEX to deal with stuff that's left. You can configure it to d/l headers only, or header and a set amt. of the beginning of the msg. so you can get a better clue what it's about. OEX won't do what you want...
