  For some reason, I can't get my Outlook Express to send my emails... they do not connect or send failed... what I am doing wrong to cause this... I have used Outlook Express in the past and had no problem with it... Also, how can I know what e-mail programs POP3 or request the program Outlook Express? Could you please clarify this for me, thanks...

  I use Windows Live Mail as my regular e-mail address... but I can use a different e-mail to another e-mail program to configure Outlook Express?

  Visit the website of your email provider and see if they have instructions to set up an account in Outlook Express.  They provide you with the appropriate settings.   Nobody here knows them, because they are specific to the e-mail provider.  So check with your provider of messaging on the correct settings to use for OE.

• copy the address book Outlook Express for Hotmail - can't get in Outlook Express

  copy the address book Outlook Express for Hotmail - can't get in Outlook Express.

  Lately I often can't get into my Outlook email.  I know that I can use Hotmail, but I need my address book. I know that it has to see with the Qwest no longer carring MSN.   Can you tell me how to recover or to carry it?

  Thank you, Cookie 303-371-6295 or 303-931-4632

  The address book is a file with an extension of wab file.  Search for *.wab and then you can click on it to open it.  You can then go to file | Export | Address book, then save it as a csv file.  To import into Hotmail, as in this case: www.windowslivehelp.com because it is where are the experts of Hotmail.

• How can I get my outlook express in windows 7

  First question: is there a difference between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

  Second question: is one of the two already in Windows 7?

  Third question: I was going to do an easy transfer from the Windows of my computer in XP with Outlook Express to my new computer with Windows 7. If Windows 7 is already Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail all my etc. in Outlook messages are transferred in the new e-mail program?

  Fourth question: If Windows 7 does not have one of the mentioned e-mail programs should I download one of them in the old computer and my Outlook etc messages in the new program, and THEN make an easy transfer on the new computer (after I also download the same e-mail program on this computer if it is not already)?

  If this has already been addressed in another post please direct me there.  If I should ask this question somewhere else please tell me where.

  Thank you!

  WIndows mail is only under Vista. And Windows live, you need to install first. Windows 7 does not come with an email program.

  You cannot use Outlook express in windows 7. And I don't think you can transfer Outlook itself overall. You need to reinstall CD. But you should be able to export the emails and contacts from the old Outlook and import them into Outlook. Once that reinstall you on Windows 7

• How to get my Outlook Express, I had before the crash and restore?

  My computer crashed so bad I had to click on the f10 key, but it did a restore and I lost my Outlook express, even my e-mail provider windstream has been lost and now, they can't recognize my old login, can't my email even with the same settings as I had typed out after that I started usuing Windstream in 2010 my address book is gone! can not get my address book! My new outlook Express6 has a released check it out, but when I click on it nothing happens. I used it even though my intention was not to send an e-mail, I am a bad speller! I'm very confused with my old outlook Express and the address book. The news is very disappointing!

  According to Bruce, you will need to search for *.dbx to locate the directory of dbx files.  Make sure that you have configured to display the hidden files and folders and do not hide the extensions of the types of files known as control panel | Folder options | View.  Also when research conduct an advanced search and include files and folders hidden in the advanced search parameters.  The address book is a wab, so also the search for *.wab file.  When find you them, then use the file | Import | Messages and files. Import | Address book to get back them.  See also www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 and www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx for background information.

  If you have formatted the drive when you did reinstall it, then the old files have disappeared.  My DBXpress program has a record feature which can recover some of the lost messages (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).

  To the properties of your account, you need to collate Windstream or check their Web site for the correct settings.

• How can I get help outlook express? When I send a mail, I get an error message indicating the e-mail was sent not.

  Had problems with Outlook Express.  When I send a mail, I get an error message indicating the e-mail was sent not.  The e-mail has been sent, but it never leaves the output area.  I have to go and delete the e-mail.  Then I don't have a folder of e-mails, except in my deleted file.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  You have apparent dbx file corruption.

  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:

  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

  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

  Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
  http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

  Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

  Compact often as specified above.

  And backup often.

  When I went to send a link to a video Today Show, I could not send it via Outlook Express. How to make a server to help me send videos from Web sites?

  To use Outlook Express, you must set up your account with it. You must know the names of the servers POP3 and SMTP from your ISP uses and perhaps a few other things. The best way to get the information you need is normally to look at on the web site of the ISP, but you can usually also call them and ask them.
