How Do You Configure Outlook Express To Not Download Emails?
Microsoft Outlook Express is an email client that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. Outlook Express works as well as Hotmail and Live Mail, Microsoft’s other email services, in sending and receiving messages, but it doesn’t have the user-friendly look as the other services. It also works together with Windows Messenger, which gives the user the option to import chat contacts into Outlook Express. When a user opens Outlook Express and begins viewing messages, the messages are automatically downloaded as soon as they appear in the Preview Pane. The downloading takes up space on the hard drive if the messages aren’t deleted, and also, in the case of a security breach via malicious software, the content of the emails may become available to an intruder. To avoid these types of problems, the default configuration that allows Outlook Express to download emails can be easily disabled in a few simple steps. Open Microsoft Outlook Express.
