Hi everyone,

I've never been "in" a newsgroup so far, never used a PC, and here I am,
typing on my wife's PC, trying to get some help. English is not my mother
tongue too, as you may already have noticed. Hope I'm doing ok...
Here's my problem:
I just upgraded my iMac G3 400 (128 Mo RAM) from OS 9.0 to 9.2.1.
Everything's fine, except I can't send emails anymore with Outlook. I'm
getting this message: "memoire insufisante" ("not enough memory"). Error -
108.
I did everything I could think of as far as memory is concerned,
re-installing softwares, using simple extensions set-ups, without result.
Any idea?

Here are, translated the best I could, more info on my set-up:
Outlook Express 5.01 (1630)
Product ID 50074-999-6738486-96002
OS 9.2.1
TCP/IP: Open Transport 2.7.7
System memory: 137 364 Ko
Used by OE: 28 006 Ko
"Usable": 105 683 Ko
Text coding converter: installed. Version 1.7

Many thanks,

Gerard

Hi Gerard,

It's my understanding that OS 9.1 and OS 9.2.2 are the most stable versions
of OS 9 (I'm in OS 9.1 myself). You might want to go up to 9.2.2 (or down).

As for the memory problem, navigate to the OE icon in the finder, click on
it once to select it and then Get Info (Command>i). Change the Show button
to Memory. Raise OE's Preferred memory by 5000K and see if that helps (and
leave the Minimum memory alone). If not, try another 5000K. It's been so
long since I used OE that I don't remember what the optimum Preferred memory
setting should be.

Also, rebuild your desktop. You should do it once a week and especially
after installing new software!

Hope this helps.

Hello Beth !

I have the same problem as Gerard and tried everything I can think of. I
have rised memory in steps up to to 50 000 now and recive the same error
message all the time. I have also checked that under Tools-Account that
the advanced option for verification from the SMTP server is marked but
nothing sees to help. I have a Mac 7300 with 466 G3-processor and Mac OS
9.1. Any ideas ?

It could be a corruption in the OE database, so try to compact and then give
it another whirl...
