Fall Creators Update

I have 2 e-mail addresses, one main, and one used for places I’m unsure of. That doesn’t count the google one that I seemed forced to have at some point when I wasn’t allowed to do something without signing up (too long ago to recall details). The Outlook client only deals with the main one. The other I access via browser, because I don’t want to mix untrusted correspondence with the main. I’d not want to do other than have a local client downloading to the PC and then deleting (as best as it could) communications on the e-mail server.

Uninstall Microsoft Office File Validation Add-In
Windows Update will try to put it back. Hide it.

Can one run multiple clients on a PC to see it all works ? If so do they manage not to mess each other up ?
I take it they’d refuse to share an account data file.

You have made a good argument for giving Em Client a test run.

I use it on one of my PCs. I do not hate it.

Uninstalled. Unsure how to hide. Do I have to reboot the PC to see if anything’s changed ?

Interesting. I tried to open it again to get a message that there was a serious error the last time the add-in “Kaspersky outlook anti-spam addin” was opened. Think I’ll disable it for now.

Ah HA !!! Mail incoming now !

Wow so many e-mails about updates in PC Help Forum !

You can run multiple clients on one PC.
You can share data files ONLY if the clients use the same file extension (different versions of Office). Definitely not a wise choice.

Kaspersky is spyware, btw. According to some.

Ensure that Outlook is using Port 110 , not 587

Ah HA !!! Mail incoming now !

I need a recap.

Is outlook listening on port 110 or 587?

Anti-virus software requires 110

Mail coming from the MS server (virtually any public web server) will not really benefit from a local anti-virus check on your PC. Those mails have already been scanned.

Use port 587 and no anti-virus routine.

Incoming (POP3) is 995
Outgoing (SMTP) is 465

These would have been taken from the e-mail provider’s instructions, finding a port that worked.

I didn’t note where it said I could look at and change Outlook add-ins, and now have not been able to find them to turn them on nor off.

I’ll have a look at the troubleshooter tomorrow, thanks.

Please disregard everything I posted regarding port numbers.

There is an issue with anti-virus and ports, but I have my numbers all jumbled.

Cheers. The add-in bit was well hidden ! I’ll note that it’s there but leave it alone for the present.

I still get the warning about redemption.dll when I start Outlook, but it’s worked like that for some months now without it being an issue.
Ah ha ! Redemption Helper Outlook Extension ! Must do a web search on that.

Maybe I should say that also, for years, I’ve not been getting e-mail automatically downloaded; that suddenly stopped working without any obvious cause, and I now have to hit that send/receive key when I think of checking. But it doesn’t worry me that much. I’d not bother correcting it normally, but as I’m here, does anyone know what might fix that ?

I may try that eM client on the secondary e-mail account. It’d be a good way to trial it.

Ah it looks like I’ve already downloaded wushowhide.diagcab
Probably when I was getting advice on getting the graphics issue fixed back in March.

When you make a post - and then edit that post, I waste X amount of my time.
