OUTLOOK EXPRESS

[llamekuf]

The computer ISP is AOl.
When I scan something and try and send it a message appears asking for
information so that it will be sent by which appears to be Outlook Express.
ie not AOl.
The same happens when I want to send a picture.
How can I avoid this and send them using AOL please.
Or, if I have to send it by Outlook Express where do I get the information
that is required.

As far as I'm aware you can't because AOL isn't strictly speaking an email client.

Scan it to a file and then attach the file to an email in AOL.

I would never have any version of Outlook on my computer.

I have Hotmail and Gmail accounts, each of which which does the job.

You need to set one of them as default email accounts.

However, Chuck Fickens will appear shortly and give you better advice - he usually does!! hi Chuck...

Curses! he beat me to it....

When you use the 'send by email' command in any program it opens your default email client (such as Outlook Express) with a new email which already has the file you wish to send attached to it. It can't launch a web-based email service.

To configure Outlook Express to work with AOL's email service, follow the instructions here:

LOL :)

You could setup your AOL email account in outlook express...

But then anything that is sent (or received) using outlook express would not appear in the AOL software.
