Review or change Outlook Mobile Service account settings
Posted on 06:40 by Unknown
This Post explains how to review and make changes to your Outlook Mobile Service account. Changes might occur if you change your account name as it appears in Outlook or your mobile service password, or when you want to further customize your account configuration.
Change the name of your Outlook Mobile Service account
1. On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
2. Select the Outlook Mobile Service account that you want to change, and then click Change.
3. Click More Settings.
4. Under Account Name, type the name that you want.
Change the password for your Outlook Mobile Service account
To help keep your system secure, it is a good practice to change your password regularly.
Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. A pass phrase that uses 14 or more characters is better. For more information, see Outlook Support
It is critical that you remember your password. If you forget your password, Microsoft cannot retrieve it. Store the passwords that you write down in a secure place away from the information that they help protect.
Note You should change the password saved in Outlook only after you change the Web Service password for your Outlook Mobile Service account. Follow the instructions provided by your mobile service provider to change your Web Service password.
1. On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
2. Select the Outlook Mobile Service account that you want to change, and then click Change.
3. Under Logon Information, in the Password box, type the password that was provided by your mobile service provider or the password that you created.
Note You have the option to have Outlook remember your password by selecting the Remember password check box. If you select this option, your account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Close.

What is a Microsoft Exchange account?
Posted on 13:30 by Unknown
Some features in Outlook require you to use a Microsoft Exchange account. Exchange is an e-mail-based collaborative communications server for businesses. Licenses for Exchange can be purchased from Microsoft and its resellers. Exchange Services Provide Online Outlook Support and Email Support for the Outlook.
If your organization uses Exchange, but you do not know whether you have an account or how to use it, you must contact your organization's Help desk or network administrator for assistance.
Home users typically do not have an Exchange account; instead they use a POP3 e-mail account with an Internet service provider (ISP) (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.) or use a Web-based e-mail service, such as Windows Live Mail. If you use a POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.) e-mail account, your ISP can provide you with your specific account information. People without Exchange accounts cannot use the features in Outlook that require Exchange.
The Help for features that require an Exchange account includes one of the following notations:
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange account in Cached Exchange Mode. Most home and personal accounts do not use Exchange.

Read and send messages in other languages with Outlook
Posted on 04:34 by Unknown
When you receive a message in a different language, the message must be marked with information about the character set (alphabet) that was used to create it in order for Outlook 2000 to be able to display the message. When you forward or reply to the message, Outlook keeps the character set of the original message. Including character set information with a message is called encoding.
Occasionally, you may receive messages that aren't encoded. For these messages, Outlook uses the default encoding for unmarked messages that's specified for your computer. This default is set automatically based on the Regional Settings (system local settings) of your operating system. The default setting appears in the International Options dialog box. (On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Mail Format tab, and then click International Options.)
The default encoding might not work for some of the international messages that you receive. For example, if your default is Western European and you receive an unmarked message that uses a Greek character set, the message might display boxes or question marks instead of readable text. To fix this problem, you need to change the encoding of that specific message to Greek so Outlook can display the correct characters and provide Outlook Support to read and send the email massage.
Changing the encoding of a message
By default, there are a number of languages already enabled when you install Microsoft Office 2000. As a result, the character sets for these languages are listed in Outlook so you can change the encoding of any unmarked message to the character set used to create the message.
Change the encoding of a received message
1. Open the message.
2. On the View menu, point to Encoding, and then click the character set (alphabet) you want to use.
3. Click Yes.
Encoding doesn't only apply to messages that you receive. It also applies to messages you send. Outlook automatically uses the default encoding for outgoing messages (also specified in the International Options dialog box mentioned above); however, you can specify a different encoding for a specific message.
Enable a language
1. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office Language Settings.
2. Click the language you want to enable.
Once you've enabled the language, its character set is available in the encoding list in Outlook.
