(under Vista) Why Does Windows Mail (old Outlook Express) keep resetting to the 'Home Position'

It also switches from the new message compose screen to the read new mail
screen while I am composing a new message about every 60 seconds. I thought
it might have something to do with the Microsoft wireless mouse and it's
latest hotfix which is supposed to stop the screensaver from saving the
screen, but no. It happens whether the usb wireless transmitter is inserted
or not (on a 60 second recurring basis).

Just one additional fact... I have the check for new mail set for every
minute and the 'connecting' message in the bottom right hand area of the
screen activates at the same time as the resetting.

Any reason to think the two snippets above from your OP aren't related?
I'd say checking the mail every minute is a bit much. Is there a reason you
can check every five mins instead?

Re: (under Vista) Why Does Windows Mail (old Outlook Express) keep resetting to the 'Home Position'

simply set to not check mail till you ask it to.

here is NOTHING in the world so important to need mail every minute.
unless it is a drug deal notice.

you are lucky your isp has not kinked you off for doing this.

Re: (under Vista) Why Does Windows Mail (old Outlook Express) keep resetting to the 'Home Position'

Look out, Mikey. I think JD is about to attack you the same way he did me for offering similar advice.
After I respond to his email, my view toward anything he asks is, screw him. I was seriously trying to offer some help and he decides to criticize my response. What a jerk.

Re: (under Vista) Why Does Windows Mail (old Outlook Express) keep resetting to the 'Home Position'

Does that mean you won't be back on this newsgroup, JD?
I hope so. I was trying to offer some advice. The people who ask questions
here range from absolute newbies to well-experienced users. I had no way of
know which of those you were.
And now, I don't care.
If that's the typical tone of the response you give to people who are trying
to help you, then, screw you.

Re: (under Vista) Why Does Windows Mail (old Outlook Express) keep resetting to the 'Home Position'

You are likely to 'hang' your mailbox on the mail server by checking it
that frequently. Once every 5 minutes should be frequent enough.

Re: (under Vista) Why Does Windows Mail (old Outlook Express) keep resetting to the 'Home Position'

Language like that in a Usenet forum is a sure sign of lack of adequate
vocabulary and protesting that you were really trying to offer advice says a
lot about the quality of the advice that was offered.

I'll be back to help you folks out if you promise to mend your ways.

Re: (under Vista) Why Does Windows Mail (old Outlook Express) keep resetting to the 'Home Position'



Well, then, let me repeat. Screw you.

Everyone who offered you advice offered the same advice that I did. Do you
say the same about the quality of the advice of all of them?

Re: (under Vista) Why Does Windows Mail (old Outlook Express) keep resetting to the 'Home Position'


Actually, JD, I feel kind of sorry for you. Anybody can tell by looking at
the two excerpts from your previous messages below that it scares you to
death to think that anybody has a low opinion of your intelligence or
talents.
You obviously have the need to protest to folks if you think they're
underestimating you.

Most people on this newsgroup are happy to simply let their intelligence and
their competence shine through in the quality of the advice and the
responses that they give. You obviously feel the need to state outright that
you're a smart man.

Are you? I have no idea. You obviously misread my first response to your
message, so I have my doubts about your comprehension skills.

And, you have a nice life, too, unlisted.
