Repair MSN Premium

But like other Internetservices, problems do arise including Internet connection and timeout errors. These problems can put a halt on your file downloads, email transmissions and website searches, but you can repair your computer's MSN Premium application and Internet connection using the service's MSN Auto Care package.

Delete Error Messages in Outlook Express

The "Server Error: 421" error message appears in Outlook Express when you are on a server that is utilizing a POP3 connection and you attempt to send out an email to another account using the POP3 connection. The error message appears because the number of connections on the server is set too low. The number of connections needs to be set higher for the error and its messages to disappear. " Error 0X800ccc90" or "Error 0x800ccc18" is an error in which the Outlook Express program mistakenly stops your password from being authenticated, thus preventing you from logging into Outlook Express. This error can be fixed from within the Outlook Express program.

Instructions

Microsoft Outlook Duplicate Email Fix

When using Microsoft Outlook, you may encounter an error in which all of your emails are downloaded twice. Depending on the size of your inbox, taking the time to remove each duplicate email could prove to be quite tedious. There is, however, an easier solution.

POP3 Email Server

If your email is downloaded to Microsoft Outlook from a POP3 mail server, you may encounter this duplicate item error if you use the option, "Leave a copy of messages on the server."
To disable this option, open Outlook and click "Tools," then select "E-mail Accounts." Then select "View or change existing e-mail accounts," and click "Next." Choose your POP3 e-mail account, and click "Change," then "More Settings." On the Advanced tab, find the "Leave a copy of messages on the server" check box, de-select the check box, and click "OK."

Other Causes

It's also possible to get the duplicate mail error if Outlook is running in Cached Exchange Mode, or if there are messages that have more than one entry in a multi-value field.
Both this error and the POP3 server issue have been fixed with Microsoft Office service packs, so if you are experiencing this problem with duplicate items, your best bet is to check with Microsoft.com for any updates that your software may need.

How to Remove Duplicate Items

After you've addressed the error, you're still left with the problem of removing the duplicate items in your mailbox. Fortunately, there's a quick way to clean up your inbox.

Open Outlook, choose the View menu, and select "Table Type." As an example, use "Inbox" as your View setting, and "Messages" for the field. Right-click on a column heading, then select "Field Chooser." From the list at the top of the "Field Chooser," click to select the All <item name> fields. Then drag the "Modified" field to the table heading. Check to ensure that all of your duplicate items have a unique date from the original items. If so, then you should click the "Modified" heading so that the items are sorted by this field. Click on the first item in the set that you want to delete, hold down the "SHIFT" button on your keyboard, and click on the last item in the set that you want to delete. Press "DELETE" on your keyboard to permanently delete all selected items.

This should quickly get rid of all duplicate items in your mailbox.

Enable ActiveX Control in Outlook

Occasionally when using Microsoft Outlook, you may receive an error message telling you that your security settings do not allow ActiveX controls. This can prevent you from using formatted text and animations in your email. Enabling ActiveX will correct these errors and allow you to use the full functionality of Outlook.

Instructions

Change the security zone in early versions of Outlook like Outlook 98 and 2000. Open your version of Outlook. Select a tab at the top of the page marked "Tools" and then choose "Options." Select "Security" to change the zone. If you are in a restricted zone, change to a trusted zone and ActiveX will be enabled.

Enable ActiveX when the security prompt appears. A message will appear under the menu bar. Click the "Options" button. A dialogue box will appear and you can choose to enable the content. This works in Microsoft Outlook version 2007.

Accept ActiveX content when prompted in the dialogue box. When the dialogue box appears, select "OK" to view the content.
