• Cannot delete emails from Outlook Express. Help, please!

  OK, stuck in my Outlook Express again. Someone sent me 2 emails that I can't remove. Help, please! I'll save the news this time, since it seems to happen more. Why? Beyond me!

  Don't worry about what Vijay suggests until you move all messages from the Inbox you want to keep.  His suggestion will scan all messages in your Inbox.

  If you are unable to delete e-mails, your deleted items folder go corrupt.  Move anything out of this folder that you want to keep, then close OE and delete the deleted items.dbx file.  OE will create a new.

• 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.

• I can't delete emails from outlook express

  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.
   
  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 files of user OE (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 file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
   
   
  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:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
   
  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.
   
  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

• Cannot send emails via outlook express, but can receive

  can't send emails via outlook express but can receive.

  Get following 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..., Server:...', Protocol: SMTP, server response: ' 451 4.3.2 Please try again later ', Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 451, error number: 0x800CCC78

  It is only to start.

  My email [email protected] mail.optusnet.com.au Server address

  Took the floor to the supplier (Optusnet) & they say it's a problem to microsoft

  And this is your address which is rejected, correct? This happens if you try to send a message to yourself?

  My money is on a server problem that will clear up on its own, but you can try a few things to eliminate that he's on your side.

  1: Disable the 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.

• 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.
