Cannot move or delete messages in the folder "Inbox archive".

I'm on Thunderbird v24.4.0. There is a folder in one of my two accounts called "Archive of Inbox". Most of the time that I try to run, delete, or move an email from this folder, there is a pause, "not responding" appears in the tab upward and then after about a minute, the action is (rarely) occurs or TB ends by closes (most of the time). If the message has an attachment in it or not does not a difference. It essentially rendered the unmanageable folder. The only other application generally running IE 11.

I think I have this folder 'Inbox archive' because of the way I moved messages and files from my old PC is no longer functional, to the new, a Windows 7 Home Premium machine. On the new PC, I installed TB and new messages began filling the Inbox. Later, I copied the old emails and files from the old hard drive to the new PC - probably not the best or good in the way to do that with hindsight, but I only made this another times before.

So far, I tried to rebuild the world database (all folders, including the problematic rebuilt and re-indexed correctly), and fix the file and none resolved the problem. I thought to move messages 'archive of Inbox' in the Inbox active, but I'm reluctant to do it because I can't be sure that it does not have the regular Inbox respond similarly. This particular case is the only one with this problem. I would like to delete the folder if I could, but there are things in there that I need to register. It has about 4200 messages in it, using about 470 MB of space, which since the help files, does not seem to be the problem.

I was unable to find alternatives in Help topics, ideas or help would be appreciated.

You have probably already seen this now, so just in case where...

  • I have deleted messages in the folder sent how retrieve this E-mail

    I deleted Emails in my sent folder and must retrieve with attachemnets, I have implemented the DumosterAlwaysOn, but can not see the "recover deleted items" in my tools folder.  I use Outlook Express 6

    I don't know what is DumosterAlwaysOn.  If you messages removed from the sent items folder then they had moved to the deleted items folder.  If you have deleted them from the deleted items folder or deleted-Shift from the sent items folder, and then they are gone.  You can check your Inbox for a sent file items.bak and there is a chance that you can restore the file and retrieve messages again (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2).  Otherwise, your only chance of recovery would be if there is always a copy somewhere on the disk and if yes, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) would retrieve it.  But there is no way of knowing without running the program.

  • Outlook express cannot delete messages in the Inbox

    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.

    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.

  • Why not open Outlook Express the text from the first email in any folder rather than see a list full of all messages in the folder

    Without any notice when I opened one of my e-mail folders in Outlook Express list of the messages in the folder no longer appears. Only the text and the content of the email to punch in the folder appear.

    Alos, some of my folder of shave disappered content and everything.

    What should I do to fix

    You uncheck the preview pane? Why did you switch to a different identity?

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

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    About file Corruption:

    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.

  • Try to copy a folder with subfolders, some don't copy, get the message that the folder names are too long under Windows 7

    Hi, when you try to copy a folder with lots of subfolders, some files don't copy.  I get a message that the folder names are too long, and the only option is to ignore these files.  Anyone know the maximum folder (and also) name length that will copy windows 7?

    Hello
     
     
    a. What are the data you're trying to move?
    b. what operating system (for example Windows files) files?
    c. What is the method that you use to copy data?
     
     
    Windows 7 supports filename up to 260 characters. I would ask you to decrease the characters in the file name and then try to copy the files.

    Let us, run disk checking hard disk utility and then check.
    Here's how:
    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
    2. click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
    3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
    To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    4. click on start.
     
     
    Depending on the size of your drive, it may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.
     
    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.
     
    I hope this helps.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Why was the full Inbox folder when there is no message in the folder of outlook express?

    Original title: failure of Outlook Express

    I apologize if I am in the wrong category, but there isn't one for Outlook Express. I encountered a strange problem with OE. My client always uses OE for their emails and all of a sudden a person has lost the ability to receive emails. After some research, I found that their Inbox.dbx file exceeded the capacity of 2 GB. Juggling which corrects the problem.

    But my question is why was the folder Inbox full, when there is no message in the folder? When I opened the OE to try to resolve the problem, the Inbox was empty! Second question is how can I keep this does not happen?

    [Transferred from Internet Explorer]

     
    I do not use Outlook, but it has nothing to do with archiving. Only, you do not see messages once you remove them, but they are still on your drive hard until you compact.

    For groups or layers Warp independently of their parent group, add a "+" to the beginning of the name of the layer in PS / HAVE. It's the same select group in the Panel of puppets and by checking the Warp option independently in the properties panel.

    Once a group is warping independently, it will be attached to its origin at the origin of the group from its parent by default. You can join a different handful in the parent using the fix to the popup in the properties panel. In Preview 3, if you want to move the origin, you need to do in PS / HAVE. In future releases, you will be able to change the origin directly in the Panel of the puppet.

    If this doesn't solve your problem, you can post a screenshot of the hierarchy of layer here, to see if there is another structural problem.

  • all deleted messages back on my Inbox

    Around 800 deleted messages came in my Inbox. I removed them again and emptied the box remove and compacted. They all come back whenever I go to the Inbox. Also all the subfolders in my Inbox disappeared.

    There is a box that appears almost every day asking me to compact all folders and click to do. I didn't know what that meant until today. It doesn't seem to change anything. Today, I also went to compact waste. Since posting my request the problem with deletions reappear ceased, thankfully.

    My other problem with files disappearing is not resolved, they seem to have disappeared for good. I did a couple of times file Repair as you suggested but no change.

    Thanks for the reply - to other ideas how I can get my files back?
