Using Outlook Express with ACT!
Outlook Express is compatible with ACT!, but some of ACT!'s e-mail features are limited or inactive when used with Outlook Express. Please consider the following limitations before choosing Outlook Express as your e-mail client.
Outlook Express works only with a POP3 protocol, and will not work with IMAP or HTTP accounts, such as Hotmail.
You can only send plain-text messages from ACT! with Outlook Express.
When you perform an e-mail merge, the recipients will receive the body of the message as plain text with the message itself as an HTML attachment.
Only the Inbox folders of ACT! and Outlook Express contain e-mail messages from both systems. All other folders contain only the messages originating in their own respective systems.
You may receive a security warning each time you send e-mail from ACT!. You can disable this message by selecting Don’t warn me anymore. For more information, see Disabling the virus protection error message.
If you use Outlook Express to access your e-mail over the Internet, consider using ACT!'s Internet Mail.
