outlook and outlook express _ and Adobe freezing on shut down

When using Outlook you can only have one email account up at one time, right?
What about with Express?
Would it be okay, with no conflict, to configure one email account with
Outlook, and another with outlook Express, so I can have my home and business
email up at the same time, without having to log in and out back and forth?
--------
Oh!!*** I hate Adobe. we have no choice but to use it, but it freezes your
pc on shut down. I hate that. I read about a setting to stop that, but it
only seemed to work for awhile. ***You would think Adobe would fix that
problem!!???***
-----
Information and help on these 2 issues would be great!

No. You can have one Outlook*profile* open at a time. You can have multiple
e-mail accounts in an Outlook profile, although only one Exchange account.

Same thing, although substitute "identity" for "profile" [And OE doesn't
support direct Exchange connections, so that bit isn't relevant.]

Yes, and it has the added benefit of not putting your personal mail in your
business mailbox.

You'll have to provide more info. Adobe what? And what version? And what
exactly happens, and what exactly did you try to fix it already?

In the future, it's best to post unrelated questions as separate messages
entirely.

Wrong. I, for example, have three POP3 accounts, all set to check for
and receive mail sent to them every 15 minutes

No need to use two E-mail clients for that. Almost any single E-mail
client is able to do that.

If you use Outlook, you can even set up a rule to check the to address
on each message as it comes in, and move the messages to a different
folder, depending on whether it was sent to your home or business
address.

Adobe what? Why do you have no choice? Is this a work computer? There are
alternatives to most any program. You need to provide more details.

Re: outlook and outlook express _ and Adobe freezing on shut down

Lanwench seemed to say what I had been told, but you areb saying 2 Outlook
profiles can be up at the same time? (I have 2 Outlook profiles of whatever
you call them.) I am constantly closing my business one to check my personal
one, and back again. If you are saying we can have 2 open at the same time,
please lay out the steps. That would be a great improvement, to have them
both up at the same time.
(I was thinking if I had one in Outlook, and one in express that might be a
solution, but was afraid it migh tmess things up to configure 2 types)

Re: outlook and outlook express _ and Adobe freezing on shut down

Ok it's the adobe acrobat I guess? it's the one that people sent as
attachments in emails. every time you use this your pc freezes on shut down
with a e.. something message. its a real drag to have to sit and close the
stupid thing, or sometimes come back hours later to see it didnt shut down.
I once found many posts about this in pc help groups. its a common
occurence. one person had a setting soulution, but that only worked for
awhile, i just think adobe should fix it the problem.
to post more details I will have to find an email with pdf? and shut pc to
get the little box that you manually have to click , then I will repost with
the name of the the little scoundrel.

as you can see from adobe's own forum, this is the problem, and adobe just
sucks. one of the posts seems to have a solution, but it is too much for me
to go into without messing up the pc..
several of the posts say Why doesn't adobe fix it??? it s too bad its
allowed on the inetrnet!

o get arund this issue I've create a little bat script that runs on logoff.

The script is fairly simple:

taskkill /IM AcroRD32.exe

Copy and paste this into a notepad document and save it with a *.bat
extension.
Replace AcroRD32.exe with Acrobat.exe if you are using either Standard or
Pro instead of the Reader.

To add it to a user logoff you need to edit the group policy. Launch this
via start>run and typing gpedit.msc

more details here:

Re: outlook and outlook express _ and Adobe freezing on shut down

There should be some law that Adobe Reader or Acrobat can foist such junk
onto the internet. They should be sued. If you turn your pc off, Adobe opens
the world to all kinds of security and privacy breaches. What about coming
back to work the next morning and seeing their STUPID little box that
hijacked the Shut down. what would have stopped the janitors form accessing
all your companies research, and/or your Clients' credit information. their
piece of junk company should not be trusted. I am surprised they haven,t been
arrested and or sued.!?

No - he's saying he has more than one internet e-mail account in his
profile.

You'd be better off using OE for personal and Outlook for mail - especially
if your company uses Exchange. You probably don't want to mix your personal
and business mail.

If you don't like Acrobat Reader, uninstall it. Check out www.foxit.com -
the Foxit reader is free and doesn't take over your computer.

No, I'm saying that you don't need separate profiles. All you need is
one profile that accesses multiple E-mail accounts.

Re: outlook and outlook express _ and Adobe freezing on shut down

i noticed you are wrong and rude in other posts too. how they let you in
this, usually helpful and friendly Forum is a mystery.
Adobe Acrobat and reader has a serious privacy and security problem. the
more people that know about it and possible solutions the better. you? can
jump in a lake!
