And that you can do that either by setting your computer's email program (Outlook, Outlook Express or whatever) to download your email from the orange.fr website or you can go to the orange.fr site yourself and login there to view your email?Personally, I prefer to have my wanadoo mail download directly to my Outlook inbox.

tenniswitch Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 [quote user="tel"]Hi,Follow the instructions that 'Sunday Driver' advises. If you have never checked your webmail even in France you must have thousands if messages in your 'indésirables' folder, as these are not downloaded by default using O.E. You can change the settings of your mail account by logging on this way. Regards[/quote]Most ISPs empty their spam-catcher boxes every 30 days or so. I thought Orange did that, too.

[:P] Just to reiterate, if you take the option in OE as Tim suggested, to leave a copy on the server, if you have a lot of E mails with attachments they will fill up your orange inbox and it will start to reject messages. Also, if you leave OE open on your home computer, messages will not be available in the orange inbox as well, been there, sent the postcard!!

You can simply log in at the Orange website (and you can arrange for at least part of that to be automatic) or you can set up your email program to log in to the Orange account and to download your email automatically.And I'm sure mail2web works fine, as does having your email forwarded to a Google account. It's just that I have several email accounts (with different ISPs) and use the Outlook calendar a lot so I prefer to have all my mail download through Outlook. One less "click".

Tim Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Oh yes, I agree - it's what I do here - as well as Orange, I have accounts set up with BTinternet & a couple at Yahoo, as well as my wifes' address - all come through to this computer, if I'm on the laptop which runs Windows Mail, or elsewhere in the house on to Outlook, or even to Thunderbird on my Linux machine. They will automatically check for e-mails every few minutes, or, as you say, one click. I'm not an e-mail obsessive - honest[:)]Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoneye Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Success - from neighbours computer via orange france, although I am not entirely sure how I did it ; but figure if I can do it once I will manage it when I am in Uk. Anyway if need be I can access this post from uk (I hope !) and look at some other methods (thumb permitting !!)Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 If you are using an email program, such as Outlook or Outlook Express, you can have bother email addresses set up. You can only use the one to which you are connected to send emails though.If this is too complicated just got to www.mail2web.com Make sure you have your email address and the relevant password with you.

I have 4 email addresses set up on Outlook on my US computer, 6 on the French one (which the DH shares). Each computer has one default address for sending, but I can choose from a drop-down list whichever address I want to use for sending an individual email.The same was true when I was using Outlook Express.This is not rocket science; truly, if I can set this up, anyone can.
