  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.

• Outlook Express (XP) - Error Message "there was an error opening this message. An error has occurred. "When you try to open an e-mail.

  I can not open e-mails or addressbook from OE.

  When you open an email, I get the following messages, 'there was an error opening this message.  An error has occurred. "However, I can save an email on my desk (cause I can't open it) and receive the following error message while trying to open my office on the second dialog box AFTER the above message, Outlook express could not be started.  It can be installed incorrectly.  Make sure your disk is not full and you're not out of memory.  Contact Microsoft support for further assistance (0x8004104F)".  I'm not out of disk space or memory.

  When I try to open the address book within the OE, the error message says "unable to open the address book.  The AddressBook is may not be installed correctly.  I check that the WAB file is not read-only (as a matter of fact, I can open the WAB file directly by double-clicking in Explorer and email as an 'Action' very well).  Also, I check register and I have not any sharing with Outlook 2007.  I continue to receive emails and such mentioned, can send through the WAB file.

  There was an update of Windows by 18 points before it do not longer work.  I don't have a record of what has been installed.  I tried to come back a week to a previous restore point, but told me that nothing has changed.

  Help, please.  This has worked well for years.

  Remove Folders.dbx. If you can get OE open, create a new book of identity and address.

  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.

  The path to the message will be very similar to this:

  C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

  With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

  Note these possible side effects:

  When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.

I restarted my computer and restarted OE, even when nothing has changed. I removed all the emails in the Inbox and restarted OE, but I am still unable to download e-mail messages from the ISP. I am also now not able to move anything in any of my files. I use Windows XP Professional. Help, please.

  You have posted on the forum of wong. Outlook Express is not Microsoft Outlook. It is likely that the message and this answer and all others will be moved to the correct forum by a moderator.

  You are most probably see a 0x800C0133 because you have a corrupted Inbox.dbx file. Failure to delete can be due to the corrupted Inbox.dbx box or because you have a corrupted file item.dbx deleted. The two commonfactors causing corrupt are files dbx and interupting the process of compaction before it is completed.

  Records of your reception and sent items box only takes messages waiting for resettlement until you move. Have not all the subfolders of the Inbox. In the paragraph following, that I describe a way that helps reduce the retention of messages in the two system created folders, which are therefore subject to message loss and file corruption.

  In Outlook Express, place the cursor on the local folders and select the file, folder, New and name your new folder. AAInbox and AASent may be suitable for your needs. Move all messages in your Inbox and your records sent to the local files newly created items. Repeat if you have created subfolders for each folder.

  You will still need to look at the overall size of individual files, that too large a results folder in system struggling to manage the file. File corruption occurs most often when the compaction process is interrupted or if any reading or writing to file takes place when Outlook Express closes abruptly. What tends to happen more often with more large files. Others define a maximum file size by specifying a size for example 300 MB, as part of their recommendation. In my opinion, that this may mislead the size may be significantly lower. It depends on the ability of the system to deal with large files.

  You can control the process of compaction by at a time that suits you at any time until the account reaches 100.

  In Outlook Express, place the cursor on the local folders and select file, work offline, followed by file, folder, Compact everything. Do not attempt to interrupt or stop the process to the end. close Outlook Express when it is finished, but do not rush closing as changes will still be made for a period after the compaction process appears to have completed.

  After compaction, ensure that your Outlook Express folders are properly. Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, disk cleanup to empty your trash and delete temporary Internet files. Run Disk Defragmenter.

• 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 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. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  Note that for many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available.
  

  2: Create a new sent items and Outbox.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  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 DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  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.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:
