then click attatch,,,it wil look like a clip..box will come up where you wish to get the attachnemt from,,find my documents,find what you want,,then click attach,,,,,,,,,,it will then be attatched to you email,,then send in normal way,,,

n

I go into My Documents where I have a picture of myself which I wish to send to a cousin I've never met!!! It says on the left hand side "email this" so I click on it - email profile comes up, I put the email address in [the photo is an attachment] and I get a window that comes up saying:

The host aol cannot be found - please verify that you have entered the serving name correctly Account aol server aol protocol SMTP Port 25 Secure [SSL] no socket error 11011 Error No: 0x800cccod

All double dutch to me I'm afraid

ok sorry Betty - glad you are sorted
Sounds like a bog standard server glitch to me

Hi Errol,

Sorry Errol, you must have missed it, I said on page one that I logged off and back on again and it works fine now thank you. Also you didn't sound patronising.
I ment it talk to me like I am a 3 year old really!!
as far as computers go anyway.
Betty

What on earth are you on about, Peter?

Who on here has an email client? Or who is an email client and who isn't?

I don't have any clients these days, email or otherwise, since the great B Bank in Canary Wharf made me redundant.

I have Outlook Express, but MSN told me it was to be scrapped, so I now have Windows Live Mail, which is slo...ower than ever. Am I the client, or are they.....?

I sometimes wonder who pays the Piper. It is a huge conundrum.

Sorry - really didn't mean that to sound patronising.
Are you up and running now?

Hi Errol,

Yes I use Outlook Express!! Thanks for talking like a 3 year old lol Sorry should have added have a router.

Betty

An email client is another phrase for something like Outlook Express - it means a third party piece of software used to access your emails rather than webmail which is where you access it over the internet

Ann,,,Do you attatchment to your email,?

Errol,

Talk to me like i am a 3 year old please.

Betty

Hi Errol,

What does this mean?
I take it you are using an email client rather than webmail.

Betty

I know Errol but I call it an Outrage ,in so much it plays havoc,,,ha ha,

Good Betty but if they have maintence work going on,,it could be ok one time then not another,,,

Oh Hi Errol,

I must have missed your message because I was typing another to Kay.

Anyway Errol its working now, don't know what it was.

Betty

what can I do Errol!!!! sure it's something simple - and I am simple where computers are concerned I know

outrage sounds more like it to me Errol!!!

Hi Kay,

I logged off and the back on again and its working fine now, don't know what the problem was because I could get onto the internet but could not send or recive e-mails.

But ok now thanks!!

Betty

I think you mean outage not outrage!
It sounds like an ISP problem if that is who you have your emails through.
I take it you are using an email client rather than webmail.

Betty,,

It sounds like server problems,what deals with the emails...they could be having *outrage * somewhere,,,,,,
