Outlook Express Security Flaw

I recently downloaded Internet Explorer 6 but kept Outlook Express 5. Now everytime I use Outlook Express and try to send or receive emails or switch identities I get the following information/error message:

Internet Explorer
?
This page has an unspecified potential security flaw. Would you like to continue?
Yes No

And I have to click on Yes in order to be able to keep using Outlook Express.

If anyone can help me somehow stop this message appearing I would greatly appreciate it. I would prefer to not have to download Outlook Express 6 as I don't know what that will do to my current Address Book and Stored Emails.

Thank You

The information on this page includes a workaround to stop the message popping up.

Although the instructions are aimed at a specific site, you can check those settings to see what can be changed on your computer.

 

Dear Miz,

Thank you for this.

I am not sure what to type in in the Add this Web site to the Zone area.

I tried typing in my incoming and outgoing mail servers. But this hasn't solved the problem - I still get the same error message.

Can you advise me here?

Thank you
Limor

P.S. Will downloading Outlook Express 6 eliminate the problem?

 

Outlook Express 6 is a part of Internet Explorer so I'm surprised OE didn't upgrade when you got IE 6. Check in OE under Help>About to make sure it didn't upgrade to version 6.

Instead of putting anything into the zone area, go back into IE>Tools>Internet Options>Security tab and click on the "Default" button. That will set all the security levels to default which may solve the problem you're having.
