Mac Forum / Applications / Outlook Express / July 2005read/write error 40
Hi: I hope someone can give me some suggestions on how to fix my stupid user problem. I have a G3 Powerbook running OS 9.2.2 and using Outlook Express 5.0 (dictated by the cable company). This morning the computer froze up while I was deleting everything in the deleted items folder, so I had to force a restart. I then tried to get into Outlook Express again. The program started and then asked me to choose an identity, since I had two set up. If I choose "main identity", I get a box that says "An error occurred while launching. A read/write error occurred (-40)." If I choose the other identity, Outlook starts up just fine, but I really need all the messages in my main mailbox (and all the folders associated with it). So the upshot is I can't get my mail and of course I didn't back up recently. I tried a couple of things to fix it: restarted many times; ran Disk First Aid and no problems were found; ran Norton Utilities, no problems found; tried looking up the error message in Mactopia and Microsoft Knowledge Base but I didn't understand the technical jargon. If anyone can suggest a way for me to get my email back, I will be so grateful. Thank you. > Hi: > I hope someone can give me some suggestions on how to fix my stupid [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > can suggest a way for me to get my email back, I will be so grateful. > Thank you.

Otherwise, please post back to the newsgroups. See Q048 on http://machelp.webhop.net/ for more details on protecting yourself from newsgroup spam. The only suggestion I might have is to get to your new emails is to use a webmail option to get to your ISP's site where mail can be retrieved. Call the ISP on the telephone and ask them if they can assist you in getting your emails resent to you from a backup tape from their mail server. Sometimes email are achieved. This is a temporary and unsatisfactory solution I am sure but maybe their help desk can assist you once you get them on the phone. > From: "bling02142<remove-this>@yahoo.com" <bling02142@yahoo.com> > Organization: http://groups.google.com [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > can suggest a way for me to get my email back, I will be so grateful. > Thank you. |
