Question... how come there is no "bounce" equivalent in Outlook Express?

[gopunk]

or any other email program for that matter? i've only seen this command in Pine. i find it useful, and have no idea why other email programs don't have it...

Hey gopunk..sorry to be OT, but im new to outlook, just installed last night...

How do I make it automatically refresh all new mail when i start up the program? Is there a way for it to retrieve everything without having to click the send/receive all button?

 

[gopunk]

dunno about outlook, but in OE, it is tools -> options -> general -> send and receive messages -> send and receive messages at startup.

 

[GooberPHX420]

damn, didnt know there was a diff between OE and plain ol outlook. I guess I just have plain outlookXP, cuz there is no GENERAL tab under options

Press F5

I'd also like to know how to "bounce" (I assume this means return to sender) e-mail in Outlook.

actually in pine, "bounce" will send the email to an address of your choosing, as if it were directly sent to them.

thx ross!

But still, cant I set it to just do it when it opens?

Sounds like a cool feature... definitely not in outlook express though.

And why not just use forward?

 

[Platypus]

Because it says it's forwarded...?

Bounce is definetly cool

 

[BD2003]

You can turn off the message that says its forwarded.

message forwarding on the server?

Goober: For Outlook, go to Tools -> Options -> Mail Setup -> Send/Receive. You can choose intervals to automatically check mail, and also set it to send/receive automatically.
