• Empty folders in Outlook Express after doing a system recovery.

  Original title: Outlook Express recovery.

  After a crash the system and recovery (via Microsoft technician), I can access is no longer my email from Outlook Express files and operation.  I can see all files in the folders, I've had, but they are empty.

  Probably what happened is that the records. dbx file has likely corrupted as a result of the accident. Have you tried leaving Outlook Express when the accident occurred? If so, it was probably at that time that Outlook Express has been folders.dbx compaction. Folders.dbx is the folder that contains your folder structure and parameters.

  You can try the option import in Outlook Express and see if he will bring back your mail in Outlook Express. You will need to use Browse to point Outlook Express in the folder of the store where the corrupt identity. Because you say you can see the folders you must check and note the path of the file to use with browse during the import. I would try to import files simple and not folders.dbx and all subfolders. If you use select all records it after a successful import be warned, you end up with duplicates that it is extremely difficult to eliminate.

  Corruption of folder in Outlook Express has been a constant source of grief for users for years. Steve Cochran, a MSVP, developed a tool to retrieve messages and this works well in most cases. The original tool was DbXtract and Steve created later DbXpress. I used DbXtract, but not of DbXpress. If your attempts to use the file, import fail I suggest you try one of these tools.

• How to compress the folders of outlook express

  My Inbox Outlook express is almost complete (~ 2 GB) and continues to receive new e-mails. I tried to use the function of compression under file. It started OK, copy of the file and compression, then an error msg pops up saying that the file is used by Outlook Express. So, I was not able to reduce the size of the Inbox by removing some of the attachments. In fact, I was not able to reduce the size of any existing folders.by deletion of their content.

  1/how to access the file from archive to outlook express,.

  2. I'll be able to compress the archive after the deletion of junk files?

  You jumped the gun to fire a little more. What I wanted to do you are to create new folders and move all messages from the Inbox to them and then create a new Inbox. Follow these instructions to recover the old Inbox in OE, so you can move messages to other folders, keep to about 300 MB.

  How to restore individual dbx files
  http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

  Once this is done, you can simply delete the old and empty Inbox and then compact. The new folders that you create will be much smaller and without alteration, then they should compact now.

  It's the only way to access the folder "archived" except to buy a tool to extract the old messages in the Inbox and place them into folders.

• How to get rid of folders in Outlook Express

  original title: how to get rid of the files

  I accidentally hit Ctrl + H now all messages in outlook express appears in folders according to the title.  How to cancel it? Or if I can't is worth it to change your Outlook express 6 or will go wrong with me? I use windows xp

  You can sort by different columns by clicking the columnheader.  Clicking a second time will sort by this column in the opposite direction.  So try clicking on columnheader to the field in which you want to sort the messages by.  Also, go to view | Display and uncheck the option to view Messages by Conversation, like CTRL-H enable / disable this option.

  You don't need to do a system restore.

• Lost folders in outlook express

  I use ouutlook express 6 as my primary e-mail use and have encountered a problem. from the beginning until today that I lost the sub folders in my Inbox. I do not have to delete or move, and the only thing that comes to mind is that when I received an e-mail from someone who asks a receipt that it somehow has creatted my problem. However, the reception was for a known consignee and so I don't think it was doubtful. in any case I'm not wise on computers so that has baffled me and don't know where to look. I searched my computer with keywords (file names), but that was unsuccessful. only other thing to mention is that I ran ashampoo winoptimizer 2007, but can't see how this would create the problem.

  The message store folder is the Outlook Express folder that you did drag the dbx files. My first reply gave you this place.

  Part of the process, is that they have to be out before the newly created folder will recognize them.

  Create a folder in the folder tree OE with the same name as one of your files. For example: you have a Mail.dbx file. Create a folder in the OE and the name of this Mail.

  Open this repetoire and then close OE. You must complete this part.

  Now, go back to Windows Explorer. Expand the path to the Outlook Express folder, but do not open it.

  Click on the desktop at the top of the folder hierarchy. In the right pane, you will see all your desktop icons and dbx files.

  Drag the Mail.dbx file to the Outlook Express folder. When it becomes blue, let it go and you should see the prompt to overwrite it. Click Yes.

  Make lather, rinse, repeat for other folders. Bruce Hagen MS - MVP [Mail]

• Is there a way to convert Windows Live e-mail and files folders in Outlook Express format?

  I made the mistake (severe) a few years previously to install Windows Live Mail and Outlook Express abandonment on my Windows XP computer.  Now, I would run parallel iMAC and Windows messaging systems and e-mail iMAC tool does not recognize Windows Live Mail as mbox files. Therefore, I can't import Windows Live Mail in the iMAC email tool.  To add insult to injury, Microsoft Outlook email tool on the iMAC is import the Windows Live mail.  (No use asking, I guess, why Microsoft would enact incompatible messaging formats without integrating converters through the indexing schemes).  In short, is it possible to return to Outlook Express?

• Did Outlook Express emails disappear!

  I logged on my Microsoft Outlook express mail and all my emails read previously disappeared, and all that I had stored in my subfolders are gone too... How to make a comeback? My deleted messages are there, my projects and contacts are there too... Help!

  While in the Inbox: view | Current view. Show all Messages is checked and nothing else? If this is not the solution, read on.

  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

  Recovery methods:

  If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

  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, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

  And see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  And backup often.

• When I compact my folders in Outlook Express, I lost most of my emails in my Inbox.

  I was able to recover by restoring my computer.

  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and also point 3.  You should immediately back up your messages, as in OE they tend to self-destruct.
