Hi Andy:
all interesting but already done.
what I need to know, however, is how to stop O E automatically opening
the next message having read the previous one.

Hi David.
There are a number of changes you need to make to Outlook Express to
get it working best for your screen access choice.
We can take these a couple at a time so as to make it less complicated.
I'd very much welcome comments from other list members who may have a
different opinion on how best to do this.
Firstly, when you launch OE it's helpful if you go straight to your In
Box. This is the directory where all of your messages arrive. You can
tell OE to do this automatically, so lets deal with this part first, so
as to give you an idea how to configure OE.
1 Launch Outlook Express.
2 Hold down the ALT Key and press T for Tools.
3 Press the letter O for Options.
A box will appear and within this there are a number of check-boxes,
which you can tick on or off by pressing your Space Bar. You cycle
through these boxes by pressing the Tab Key.
The first one you will come up against is a box with the title, When
starting, go directly to my in-box. This is usually un-checked. Check
this by pressing your Space Bar.
4 Press the Tab Key several times until you get to the Okay then press
enter.
5 Hold down the Alt Key and press F4 to leave the programme, then
re-boot your system.
When you launch Outlook again, the focus will be on your in-box, but
there are a number of other changes you need to make to get rid of much
of the confusing stuff that you don't need.
1 Launch Outlook Express.
2 Hold down the Alt Key and press the letter V for View Menu.
A box will appear and within this there are a number of check-boxes,
which you can tick on or off by pressing your Space Bar. You cycle
through these boxes by pressing the Tab Key, as before.
Below, I have listed all the boxes that you will find and have stated
ticked or un-ticked beside, so you know which ones to tick or un-tick
with your space-bar.
Contacts. Not checked.
Folder Bar. Checked.
Folder List. Checked.
Outlook Bar. Not checked.
Status Bar. Not Checked.
Tool Bar. Not Checked.
Views Bar. Not Checked.
Show Preview Pane. Not Checked.
3 By using the Tab Key, ensure that you have done the above then when
you get onto Okay, press enter.
4 Hold down the Alt Key and press F4 to leave the programme, then
re-boot your system.
NOTE:
Show Preview Pane will probably not be able to un-tick, until you
re-boot your whole system, so take your time ane and un-tick it next
time if necessary.
There are many other changes that you may wish to make later on when
you know more about Outlook Express, such as setting it up to check
your spelling before posting any messages.
I hope that what I've told you is useful and would be happy to take you
through any of it again if you experience any difficulties David.
All the best.
Andy.
