I am not receiving server performance or usage reports in Outlook Express.

  • Article

Cause:  By default, Outlook Express blocks certain file attachments in e-mail to prevent you from opening potentially harmful attachments. As a result, you may not be able to open server performance or usage reports.

Solution:  Configure Outlook Express to allow attachments.

To configure Outlook Express to allow attachments

  1. Open Outlook Express.

  2. On the Tools menu, click Options.

  3. On the Security tab, clear the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus check box, and then click OK.

Note

E-mail attachments can contain viruses. It is recommended that you open files sent by a reliable source only and that you use antivirus software to scan files received in e-mail.
