  I can't delete emails from outlook express.  I press the button Delete and nothing happens.  Any suggestions?

  Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.

  Original title: outlook express

  cannot delete emails from the Inbox

  1. move all the messages you want to keep out folders, sent items and deleted items, and in other local OE folders you have created for archiving (backup) of such messages.

  1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

  2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

  2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (seehttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

  3. close OE.

  4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & removeOutbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

  To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

  N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

  -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

  -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More onhttp://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

  -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

  -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

• Cannot open emails from Outlook Express on Windows 7

  Original title: Outlook express on exploere8

  I just bought a new computer which has windows 7 and explorer 8 is installed, my old computor was an outlook express program that has lots of emails stored in it. I don't seem to be able to open these emails outlook express doesn't automatically come with explorer8?

  Outlook Express is an e-mail Client program.  Internet Explorer is a web browser.  They are completely different animals.

  Windows 7 computers lack any e-mail client program (unless the manufacturer of the computer or the seller has installed a). Therefore, you will need to download and install your own choice email client.

  Microsoft to promote Windows Live Mail, the free successor to Outlook Express.  You can download the program ofhttp://download.live.com.   WLMail belongs to the series of programs, Windows Live, which includes Windows Live Messenger, etc.. However, you just install the items you need.

  At present, there are two versions of WLMail available for download.  The latest stable version of the suite of programs live was "Wave 3"(version number 14.0.8117.0416).  However, you also have the option to install the version 'Wave 4' of the various programs.  I have no experience of the Wave 4 programs (which are beta (or test) releases), so cannot advise.

  Once you have installed WLMail, you will need to copy the messages from your old computer to Win XP files in a directory on your new Windows 7 computer.  Then, you will be able to open WLMail and click on file / import - import messages and other data.  With the version of Wave 3, the menu bar (which provides the file / edit / view / go / tools / Actions & help commands) is hidden by default.  To display the menu bar on an ad hoc basis, press Ctrl. To display the menu bar, click Alt and M together. Then, press M (or select "Show menu bar").

  You will find further instructions to the http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/importing-your-e-mail-contacts-and-calendar-into-windows-live-mail. However, a Google search led me to www.pcdon.com/080113OutlookExpress-WindowsLiveMail.html, which you can find easier to understand.

• Cannot delete emails in Outlook Express 6 - freezes up

  Hi there, I'd appreciate any help that can be offered.  When I go into my Inbox, and you try to delete all the emails, the computer freezes.  I am able to send and create email, just impossible to remove.  Help, please.

  FYI-I am very computer illiterate so please include a simple explanation or step by step!

  Thanks in advance

  Staci

  Often the result of corruption of the Inbox folder.  Move/copy all messages from the Inbox you want to keep to another folder, search for Inbox.dbx (you will need to activate the search system folders and system files / hidden), and then rename or delete when you find it.  At the next start of OE, it will create an empty Inbox.  You can then drag any message that you want in it, and you should be able to delete messages from it again.

• Cannot delete emails in Outlook Express 6.

  Until last week, I could delete e-mails when received. Now, I'm happy if I can remove two a day leaving up to 50 emails a day cloggging my Inbox. Version of Outlook Express 6 XP 5.1 of ideas?

  Your deleted items folder is probably corrupted.  The best thing to do is to back up your messages (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) and then click on file | Identities and setup a new identity, which will give you a completely empty and filial together records.  Then add your email account and when it works fine, then click file | Import | Messages and point to the old identity to get them across the oldest.

  OE uses IE settings.  Then configure things in IE (margins and others) and it should then apply to the when you print from OE.

• Error: "some errors have occurred during the processing of requested tasks". Sending emails from Outlook Express

  Original title: Repetitivet sending emails from Outlook Express

  When sending emails from my Outlook Express , the following occurs:

  (1) as usual, send the message falls into my Outbox and begins to be sent.

  (2) when the message was sent, I get a message that "some errors occurred while processing requested tasks" but no actual errors are displayed.

  (3) the sent items folder does not show that a message has been sent... but a message has been sent.

  (4) the original message remains in my Outbox and will be sent over and over again.

  As you can imagine, it's a very embarrassing problem.  All suggestions are welcome, but please keep the instructions clear and simple.

  Hello

  Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed on your computer? To work on this question, see these steps.

  It seems that there is a corruption of dbx file.

  I suggest you go over your messages out of the Inbox, and then create new folders Outbox and sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  Reference:

  (a) click onTools

  (b) thenOptions

  (c) selectMaintenance

  (d) Record Store will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files.

  (e) Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste to start and select 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

  Reference:

  (a) clickStart

  (b) Control Panel

  (c) Folder Options icon

  (d) notice, or in Windows Explorer

  (e) Tools

  (f) the Folder Options

  ( viewof g).

  With Outlook Express 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 Outlook Express.

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  Reference:

  (a) clickOutlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open.

  (b) click onthe file

  (c) work offline (or double click working online in the status bar).

  (d) file

  (e) file

  (f) compact all folders. Wait for the compaction to complete.

  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 about a300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

  Compact often as specified above.

  Reference:

  (a) in the Tools

  (b) selectOptions

  (c) maintenance:

  (d) uncheck Compact messages in the background and leave it unchecked. (N/a if running XP/SP2).

  And backup often.
