When I try to open mail, send mail, etc. I get this error message: "The Address book failed to load. Outlook Express is incorectly configured, please re-install".

I've unistalled and re-installed to no avail.

What gives?

No way dude, the database is set up so that there are SEQUENTIAL intervals! Non-sequential intervals means that the SMTP server times out every time!

Use Outlook, not Express or rename rundll32.exe to bobabooey.exe

Should fix you right up
