All of a sudden Outlook Express cannot find the files created by the method of attachment.

Outlook Express cannot find the newly created files to attach. The files are there in My Documents and Outlook Express can still see all the old files, but each new file for the last month is not seen and cannot be attached. I even typed in the name of the file and it says can not find the file of the same name. I send you the files now through 'Send it' a service online, but complicated to use another program. I checked the 'views' and they seem ok. Help, please!

It is a long shot, but try it in a new identity.

File | Identity | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

  • When I do an email upward on outlook express 4, using the method described in Q270670 it backup my spam email. Why?

    Email backup - anti spam files

    When I do an email upward on outlook express 4 by using the method described in Q270670 I found the file was a massive file. On the investigation, I found that the file contained thousands of files for anti-spam (ca. 6 GB). These fact files does not appear in outlook express in the anti-spam file but only appear in the backup download. It is probably an accumulation of messages anti-spam for 6 years.

    Why is this?

    I can't open the dbx files to see what is in them

    Your comments / tips

    According to Bruce, EO4 served in Win95 and Win98.  The steps you describe in this article concern OE6, then maybe that's what you mean.

    There is no 'anti-spam' files in OE, according to Bruce, and so if you have 6 gigabytes, then it is likely those are the dbx files that contain messages.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6 for OE data backup.  If you use some kind of anti-spam with OE program, then see point 3 on this page, contact the anti-spam software provider and ask them to explain it.

  • How can I go about sending new e-mail address to all my contacts from Outlook Express?

    New mailing address of email to all my contacts from outlook express

    The same way send you a message to all your contacts.

    1. Open a new message window

    The only problem you may find is that ISP recipients limit how much you can send at once, so if the message fails, you may need to make in a few groups.

  • Why my outlook express did change the language without permission?

    After you download a program of different nature and mess up my computer!  It's since been fixed.  Outlook Express 'spell check' went to the French and English not change it in English.  I've tried everything.  I've also set the size of the police several times to what I want and it changes always, even after registration information.  Help, please.

    Recently by clicking on outlook express to display my email, nothing else that an empty records when rises and the little hourglass.  After a long period of time, the message "not responding" appears at the top.  I have to start everything several times until my email has arrived.

    Thanks advance.

    For your first problem, Office/Word is the culprit.

  • I can't receive all my email on outlook express?

    I moved your post on the forum that deals with Outlook Express.

    If you do not receive the messages from people, and they tell you that they sent them, there are two places to look.  The first is in your own mailbox.  You must determine if the messages are delivered, but Outlook Express just is not bring or if they are not reach your Inbox mailbox.  The first you can manage; the second is out of your control (but not, perhaps, independent of the will of the people, sending to you).

    If you use Outlook Express, you use a POP or IMAP account, since that's all what Outlook Express can handle.  The account type is probably POP.  If Outlook Express is not access your messages, then it is likely, they are not in the Inbox folder on the server side.  To check, log in your Inbox mailbox using a web browser.  Your mail service provider will be instructions to do this.  Examine the Inbox on the server.  If messages do not exist, Outlook Express cannot download them.  Many servers have a folder 'Spam' or 'Junk mail' in which they will place questionable messages.  Look in this folder to see if the messages that you think you should have gotten are there.  If you find them, move them to the Inbox on the server and the white list the addresses of your shippers on the server so that it will never divert these shippers again.  Suppliers of Help included pages have directions for that, too.

    If you do not see the messages that you receive, then your mailers must do some research because their messages do not reach your Inbox mailbox at all.  It's nothing, you can address; they will have to do.  Ask them if they receive non-delivery reports when they send you messages and know what these non-delivery reports.  If they get no notice of non-delivery has failed, they will have to register their providers of messaging services to help track down where the delivery will fail.

    Change outlook web mail

    I'm going through webmail with cable cox to outlook or outlook express, but finds it difficult to get the emails to my wife separately from mine.  Not sure how they get along with the different email address.  I tried setting up separate accounts and profiles in outlook 2003 and have also tried to separate identities and accounts in outlook express 6.  Any help would be appreciated. TKS Joe Novick

    I can't speak for Outlook, even if it is very similar, but if you have configured the real separate identity in OE, as in needing to switch identities with it, avoid a problem unless you use both the same e-mail address.

    If you use different addresses to your identity, go to tools | Accounts and remove its identity. Vice versa in its identity.

    I use Cox and were three addresses in the three identities without problem.

  • Vista 32 bit can't install or update ALL drivers. Error message: "the system cannot find the file specified."

    I also have problems with installation or update all drivers. I keep getting the same error message as everyone another (Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it.) The system cannot find the specified file. ") I am currently running Windows Vista 32-bit. Did anyone facing this problem? I can't believe that it has not been yet resolved. ?? I tried to install the drivers from a Web site of the manufacturer (canon), update the driver from windows, cd rom and my USB port. Nothing works. I not made any changes to my laptop and I have to download/install updates regularly.  Come to think of it, I think that this has been a problem for a long time that I was not able to install an update on my 8400 M GS of Nvidia G-force several months > it continues just failing. I checked today and the driver needs to be updated... but I can't update any of them. Did someone really treats problems in this Forum? We could really use some help on this issue!

    You try to install the driver to boot, to troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
