Message: [QUOTE="RosieRose, post: 60972, member: 18238"] davehc, thank you so much for posting a reply to my problem. I appreciate people like you coming into these threads and helping those of us who just don't have much knowledge on how these infernal machines work. Having said that, I'm not any kind of PC techie and I must say I didn't understand much of the reply in the link. It gave me more questions than answers. I've included a screenshot of the link below. The link said: [I]"When viewing your message list, press Alt-F O S to open the Safety Options dialogue. You'll find the options for secure mail at the bottom of the Security tab. Note that digital signing and encryption are two different functions. You can also select one and/or the other in a message compose window, on the Options tab." [/I] Ok, so I was able to pull up the Safety Options dialogue box. Clicked on the Security tab and found at the bottom two check boxes.. 1. Encrypt contents and attachments for all outgoing email 2. Digitally sign all outgoing messages. The "encrypt contents" box was checked, the "digitally sign" box was not. And, there were really no instructions on what to do with these two check boxes. If the digitally sign check box wasn't checked, does that mean emails shouldn't need a digital ID when they're sent out? Then, the link stated: [I]"[I]You'll get the same warning for this message unless you remove the security requirement from it. Drag it from the outbox to a drafts folder, then double-click on it to open it. Check that there's no security requirement selected on the Options tab:[/I][/I] These instructions say, "Drag [I]it [/I]from the outbox to a drafts folder...". What is the "it" I'm supposed to drag from the Outbox to a Drafts folder? The email message? How do you drag an email message? Have never done that before. These instructions then say, "....then double-click on it to open it." Double-click on what? Then it says, "Check that there's no security requirement on the Options tab:" I've included a screenshot of the Options tab, and I don't see any security requirement on it. I don't want to stop using WLM. I have dozens and dozens of folders in it that I really don't want to lose. There are important emails in these folders that need to be filed and saved. I've used WLM for years with no problems and all of a sudden it's gone kablooey. I've downloaded Thunderbird temporarily until I can get this WLM crap straightened out, but I don't like the look of Thunderbird, it's design color is toooo light, toooo crowded and these two things make it hard to see the different email names. Anything else that can be suggested will be greatly appreciated. I'm just at my wit's end. [I] [/I] [/QUOTE]
