Can anyone tell what free ad blocker i can use to stop the grey ad boxes and adverts that pop up. I have tried the Windows XP Firewall but this prevents me from downloading some of my websites.

I Have installed and using Incredimail instead of outlook express , does anyone know how i can change all my email folders(inbox, sent etc )back from the incredimail folders into the outlook express folders and then save them.

Is any way that i can do the same in outlook express as i can do in Incredimail(i.e Background,font type)

To create stationery for outgoing messages
You can use the stationery wizard to create new looks for your e-mail and newsgroup messages.

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Compose tab.

In the Stationery area, click Create New.
Tips
To use stationery you see in a message from someone else, select the message, and then on the File menu, click Save as Stationery.

A stationery file is an HTML file and can be edited in Outlook Express. In a new message window, click the View menu, click Source Edit, and then click the Source tab to make changes.

When creating your stationery, try to keep the file size smaller than 10 KB. Pictures and other objects can make the file too large to be easily downloaded. (Check the size of your stationery inside the Stationery folder at \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery.)

The "Grey" ad boxes are a feature of your system, not some new form of pop-up ads... they are network sent messages to people on the internet.

To stop them from coming up anymore, go into your control panel / administrative tools / services... You will see a service called Messenger. Stop it, then disable it. No more grey pop-ups.

Good luck.

How can i change the Files emails i have in The software Incredimail back to the files and Emails in Outlook express.

When i click onto the outlook express i only get the emails from when i finished getting the emails from incredimail. In other words i lose all the emails i have put into the files (i.e Sent, Inbox deleted etc) in the Incredimail software

you can try this software: MyIE2
It is a small web browser (2MB only!!!)
It also has a internal kill-advertisement function.
Moreover, it is totally freeware!!!
