Cannot delete messages in Windows Live Mail after returning from 10 of Windows to Windows 7

Separated from this thread.

Hello. Want to jump in here even if it is an old thread. I have the same problem and have tried all the suggestions, my problem actually started when I upgraded to my wife and many win 10 is not ready for the change, so I'm back to Win 7 Home Premium. I contacted Ms. Tech Chat and was told to uninstall Windows 7 to "perhaps" to solve the problem. This is not acceptable. Everyone has to come with a fix or work around.

Want to jump in here even if it is an old thread.

It is rarely a good idea. If the solution has not worked, it is always best to use the option to ask a question on the menu to participate to start your own thread. There are so many variables involved that universal solutions are difficult to find. This is especially true when the title of the thread in the validation is not specific. For example, you also see a reading UID store failederror message?

I have the same problem...

I doubt it, because...

... my problem actually started when I upgraded to win 10 and... returned to Win 7

It's a completely different scenario that could not arise last May when the thread you posted in was up-to-date.

It seems that many of those who go back to Windows 7 from Windows 10 experience a corruption of the store folder (the folder where messages, calendars and the account settings are stored). According to your storage folder is how complex (several accounts, calendars a lot, a lot of messages number of files), it can be simpler to just create a new storage folder and fills again:

  1. Looking at your list of messages in Windows Live Mail, press Ctrl-Shift-O for Options. On the Advanced tab, click Maintenance and then store the file. Copy the path to locate the storage folder.
  2. Close Windows Live Mail and wait a few minutes (the program will continue to run in the background, while he does his household).
  3. Press the Windows key + E to open an Explorer window, and then paste or type the path that you copied to the (1) in the address bar and press ENTER. This should open your storage folder.
  4. Right-click on the name of the folder in the navigation pane, and select Rename. Call the Live Mail Backup.
  5. A repair must check that all the program files are present and correct and properly registered, as appropriate. To do this, close all running programs, and then press Windows key + R, type wlarp and press ENTER. In the window that opens, select repair all Windows Essentials programs:


When it is finished, restart the computer.
  1. Start Windows Live Mail and wait the program installs before doing anything. Press Ctrl-Shift-T to start the add your Assistant e-mail accounts and follow the prompts to add your e-mail accounts.
  2. Click once on the work online on the status bar and deconnecter disconnect Internet to avoid interference email downloads, and then use the file > import messages (I Alt - F) and point the wizard to the Live Mail Backup folder level. Do not intervene while the import happens.
  3. Leave the program alone for a while (an hour or two, or even a night or more) to enable him to reindex all your messages, then close and wait half an hour for the program to do his household.
  4. Relaunch the program and look at your messages under folder imported into storage folders. Take it slow, drag files out of any folder and drop in the location you want. Again, give the program time to re - indexing messages in their new location.

Note that you can not drag files out of storage files. If you want to forward messages to a high plu account folder in the folders pane, you need to select messages to transfer, and then use the right click > move or copy folder. The controls are also available as buttons in the folders of the Ribbon tab.

    my outlook express cannot delete messages in the Inbox. After that, click on Delete on any e-mail item, nothing happens.

    You are the very welcome, but please take into account preventive advice.
     

    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.

    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.

  • Cannot delete messages on my Outlook Express Inbox

    Cannot delete messages on my Outlook Express Inbox

    You have corruption of dbx files.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox, if you can and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

    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 Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Compact all folders as described below.

    To avoid this in the future:

  • Cannot delete messages

    I try to follow the support page of Mozilla on "Thunderbird - cannot delete messages."

    I opened the file as directed in step 4.

    While step 5, Trash.msf deleted but Trash is not as he said that I have authorities. Where from here?

    You must LEAVE the Thunderbird before deleting the file (Trash.msf).

    More question, try with the new profile

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem

    You do not have. You ask the recipient sends the receipt for you, but they are under no obligation to do so. Send a message to yourself to see what they see.

  • Windows Live Mail, send and receive error message: error in Live Mail ID 0x8DE00001

    original title: sending and receiving erratic

    Today I created 2 new email my Live Mail account addresses.  Sometimes, I am allowed to send and receive, and at other times, I get an error (Server error 4102) with Live Mail error ID 0x8DE00001.  After the repeated efforts to send/receive, a box appears for me to decipher the CAPTCHA letters.  Yet once, it takes repeated efforts to have accepted answer.  By the same box, told me that I could make verification easier by my cell phone available that I might have a check of the text sent to me.  Don't you know, my Cricket phone is not accepted.  I had a few problems with Windows Live since put so that it uses a couple of years.  Why this problem all of a sudden?  I want to prove once and for all I'm not a crook or a spammer.  What can I do?  It's so frustrating.

  • Yahoo emails do not flow to Windown Live Mail after Microsoft Update

    Never had a problem with my account yahoo email to windows live mail, but after a Microsoft updated Jan. 1 it now no longer works. Get the following error message:

    Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk '.

    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x800CCC0E

    Protocol: POP3

    Port: 995

    Secure (SSL): Yes

    Socket error: 10060

    What do I need to do this job again?

    I don't think that this has nothing to do with Microsoft Update. Yahoo have recently updated their servers and you need to change your settings to match.

    Right-click on the account name in the folders pane, and then select Properties. On the servers tab, change the server addresses to match those listed on this page: the pop server settings While you're there, make sure that my server requires authentication is selected and that the ports are correctly selected on the tab Advanced , with this server requires a secure connection (SSL) selected for both.

    Click on work offline and delete all messages waiting for the Outbox (below the records of account in the folders pane), and then compose a new test message and send it to yourself. Send error messages in your response.

    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.

    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.
