There is no such program as Outlook V5. There is Outlook Express V5, part
of Internet Explorer V5, but that's completely different from Outlook
Express. Moreover, authenticating is trivial in both Outlook and Outlook
Express.
I really wanted to avoid the geniology of M$.
Welcome to correct the spelling, since tht's what some people 'contribute'.
Don't tell me to upgrade to newer crap !
That has nothing to do with it.
Correct, except that 'upgrade' is the common 'solution' offered by
fad-followers.
The following simple task seems impossible with this garbage
application:
I want to change one-single character in an email that I posted,
and repost the edited version.
Post? Mail doesn't get "posted" It gets "sent" and "received". News does
get "posted", but since you're complaining about a mail program, I don't see
how that's relevant. Perhaps if you were more explicit in describing your
problem you'd get an answer.
After I locate the post in the 'sent' folder, I find that
it can't be edited 'there'.
Neither if it's copied/moved to the 'drafts' folder, can it be edited.
Do you have and Edit menu available when you open the message
Yes.
and is
there an Edit Message item on that menu?
No.

What a whiny child, and bitching about the wrong product, too.
This group is for Outlook. It is *not* for Outlook EXPRESS.
There is no version 5 for Outlook but there is a really old version 5
for Outlook EXPRESS.
Authenticating to the SMTP server is not a requirement of
Outlook or Outlook Express. It is a requirement of you e-mail provider,
and that applies against ALL E-MAIL CLIENTS!
It is not an Outlook thing. It is an SMTP configuration thing.
In Outlook, you can resend a previously sent message.
Outlook EXPRESS does not have that option (you have to copy
from the old message and paste into a new message).
Amazing that a product used by the mass of fad-followers lacked
such a basic capability.
What you are doing wrong is complaining about a product which is NOT
the topic of THIS newsgroup. What you are doing wrong is posting in a
completely unrelated newsgroup: comp.human-factors.
Go bitch, ahem, ask in an Outlook EXPRESS newsgroup.
No, I did RIGHT since you are the only poster who admitted that
OE5 can't do the basic function, and have saved me effort/frustration
in seeking further.
