• When you send an e-mail using Outlook Express, I immediately get this message; "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details"

  When you send an e-mail using Outlook Express, I immediately get this message; "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details". Unfortunately, there are no errors listed below and the green bar is frozen on the screen. The message remains in my Outbox and repeated again and again sending. There is absolutely no record and file sent in my sent box. TIA - Ernie

  You have apparent dbx file corruption. A common problem.
   
  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.
   
  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
   
  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
   
  With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
   
  Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
   
  General precautions for Outlook Express:
   
  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
   
  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.
   
  Compact often as specified above.
   
  And backup often.

• How can I obtain/use e-mail? Outlook express is enabled in options/Apps, but I don't see an icon of Mr. f to allow me to use it.

  In Firefox, I see no e-mail icon that would allow me to download and send e-mail messages. Followed the instructions of selection of an e-mail client (Outlook Express was already selected by default, and that's what I want), but in the form of Firefox, I see no mail icon that would allow me to select the mail to use it.
  Thanks Dave

  Outlook Express is a separate program, run it from the start menu, do not load IE.

• How to view mailbox from my other accounts of e-mail in Outlook Express

  How can I display the Inbox of my yahoo email a/c and a/c of Hotmail e-mail in Outlook Express? I don't know the names of the incoming/outgoing servers of both suppliers. In Outlook Express, I can view a mail even when I'm offline.

  You would need to have POP3 (or IMAP) accounts with each, and you can check with their Web sites for the appropriate e-mail client settings and server names and ports.  It may be according to the type of e-mail account you have.  In OE, then you can go to tools | Accounts | Add | Mail and fill in the information, but that will depend on the account.

• Error 0x800CCC90 send or receive e-mail in Outlook Express

  original title: receives the following error message when you try to send or receive mail with outlook express.

  Blind (younger than success) when trying to access the messages. Error message

  The server responds with an error. Account: 'Jon Swain', server: 'mail.onetel.com', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR cannot connect to the server POPS 62.24.128.151 (62.24.128.151:110), connect error 10060', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC90

  I have tried all the usual first line fixed and just installed the last Internet Explorer compatible with XP to try and eradicate the problem without success.

  Running out of ideas and options. Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Jon Swain

  IE has nothing to do with OE in this regard. If the problem is intermittent, I suspect a problem with your modem, router or ISP. Reset the modem and the router, if you use one, and if that doesn't help, get help from Onetel on line and have them check the signal of your modem.

• I can't send or receive e-mails via Outlook Express. I can access through my ISP webmail.

  Outlook Express problems

  I can't send or receive e-mails via Outlook Express.

  I can access through my ISP webmail.

  In short and in laymans terms (I'm not a tech wiz) the automatic link between my ISP and Outlook Express does not work.

  I also lost all my emails in the Inbox.

  I run a Windows XP Home Edition.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Search for interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  Then go to file | Identities and establish a new identity.  Add your email account and see if it works very well.  If so, you can go to file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

  Then, if you lost messages, check the trash and the message of the old identity store bak files that are backups of dbx files that you can retrieve (see point 2 on the page above).  If there is no bak file, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) has an excerpt from disc feature that will analyze the entire hard drive for messages and if they are still there, it will recover them.

• From a particular sender of Facebook emails that contain links on their Facebook profile photo causes Outlook Express to break and close.

  EMAILS TO A PROFILE WITH THE IMAGE LINK FACEBOOK CAUSES OUTLOOK EXPRESS TO PLANT

  From a particular sender of Facebook emails that contain links to their Facebook profile photo causes Outlook Express to break and closes when I click on the warning bar ' "some pictures have been blocked to prevent the identification of your computer of the sender." Click here to load the images down. "I noticed that when I click on the warning bar, I can hear the hardrive whirring away and then OE hangs.

  An error report is then sent to MS. I could stick the report here, but it would be premature.

  I don't see that with any other shipper.

  Any idea what could happen?

  It won't hurt to report them, but I doubt they would care or they they have been set.

• Cannot open JPG attachments in Windows mail and outlook express

  Original title: I am running XP and windows 7.  On topic dec 15 times windows '7' mail and outlook 'XP' Explorer both started allowing not parts attached JPG to come or let them out.  Any help please? Dewey

  Whenever I get messages with windows mail or outlook express, all attachments of JPG will not come through.  I can change the security setting to allow dangerous files and they will come through.  I don't know what happened to two computers at the same time.  I had not changed all the parameter before it began.

  Deweyh

  OE can not block the attachments to be sent.  You set antivirus software to analyze mail?  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  You get an error message?

• Deletion of e-mail in Outlook Express for Web server

  I have Outlook Express 6 and AT & T/Yahoo email on the web.  I love the speed of using Outlook Express 6 to delete the mails in the Inbox (the capability of listening more double glazing of emails).  How can I delete the emails in Outlook Express to synchronize the deletion of the email in my Yahoo mail server?  AT & T/Yahoo is my default e-mail account.  Outlook Express should be the default e-mail program to use this function?  Removal of e-mails in Outlook Express removes not email from Yahoo, even if Outlook Express is set to 'Empty messages from the folder items deleted leaving' and the delivery has been set to "remove the server after deleting in deleted items.  Would appreciate any help.

  I believe that OE should be set as default to make this work. Try just to test it.

  Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Set Program Access and Defaults. Custom + down arrow | Select the option for Outlook Express.

  Making OE the default e-mail client:

• Cannot send e-mail in Outlook Express 6 - get the error ' Server error: 250, error number: 0x800CCC7D'. "

  I can receive e-mail in Outlook Express 6 ok, but when I try to send an email I get the following error message - "the server does not support an SSL connection. Account: 'pop3.live.com', server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, server response: 250 OK', Port: 25, secure (SSL): Yes, Server error: 250, error number: 0x800CCC7D "."

  If I go to accounts/properties/Advanced and uncheck the box "this server requires a secure connection (SSL)" to "Mail outgoing (SMTP)", I get the error message - "the message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was ' * address email is removed from the privacy *'. ' Object 'Test message', account: 'pop3.live.com', server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, server response: ' 530 5.7.0 must issue a STARTTLS command first ', Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 530, error number: 0x800CCC78'.

  The only thing I changed on my PC recently is IE - updated to IE8.
  I don't know if that's related to this problem. I use Outlook Express 6 occasionally for sending email, so I don't know whether or not this problem started when I upgraded to IE8. My ISP is MSN.

  Try to use port 587 for the outgoing server, ensuring that 'this server requires a secure connection' is checked.
