Outlook Express Error Codes and Solutions

You can user web mail or desk top email client like Ms outlook for checking / replying your emails. Best option is to have know how of both of these, so that if one does not work for a while you can switch to other (or counter check using other). The desk top email clients like Outlook, however, have advantage over webmail, that the emails in case of outlook, are moved to your own PC / laptop and you can easily save these as you like, that if the emails are removed from server accidentally you still have a copy of these with you. Web mail on the other hand have advantage of being available on the move, whereever you are, you can login and check the email.

While using outllook, you may come across error message, some of which are listed below with possible solutions.
