• Conversion from Outlook Express to Outlook would solve the problem?

  I have the same problem with Outlook Express, that many have. When it does not, the only option is to restart the computer. When I do, I get an error message:

  'end of program - DirectDBNotifyWndProc.

  This program is not responding.

  If I convert my outlook express to OUTLOOK with that to solve the problem? Anyone know?

  You must remove folders.dbx and then OE opens.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7

  Once you get OE open, then you can follow the advice of Bruce to set up a new identity.  Once this does not work very well, and then click file | Import | Messages to bring them into the new identity.

  OE has problems with its Bank of messages and data, that's why you got the error at first.  So make sure that you perform frequent backups of messages, because sometimes they get corrupted and lose you.  See the other points on this page referenced above, in particular, #3, 4, and 6.

• 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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
   
  In tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in the background box and let it unchecked. {N/a if running XP/SP2}.

• Windows 8 - since previous import of old emails from Outlook Express

  My old computer with XP died and my other uses Windows 8, and I am on a steep learning curve.  I had saved my email on a portable hard drive, and it is stored as .dbx files.   Y at - it an equivalent of Outlook Express in Windows 8, and/or sort I can download these files in order to access all my old messages (in and out) and email addresses.  Help!

  As you know by now, my colleague has given you a bit of a "bum steer", Hazel.

  While you can not import Outlook Express (OE) in the Mail of Win8 application data, you may be able to import the data to backup OE (DBX files) in Windows Live Mail (2011 or 2012) as long as the backup contains a file named RECORDS. DBX. Assuming that to do this, follow these steps:

  1 download/install Windows [Live] Essentials 2012 via this page-online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/essentials-home

  NOTE: When you install either version, there is an option to install only the applications that you want (for example, Windows Live Mail;) Windows/Movie Maker photo gallery) or the entire suite (includes also Windows Writer, SkyOneDrive, etc..).

  2. Once you've got Windows Live Mail installed, create a new folder on the desktop (call, for example, the DBX FILES for convenience) & place a copy of your DBX backup set (i.e., all your files DBX including RECORDS.) DBX !!) in this folder.

  3 VERY IMPORTANT! => open the folder that you created in step 2 above. Select all the [CTRL + A] as all the DBX files are highlighted. Right click on the folder group. Select PROPERTIES and uncheck the READ ONLY box (assuming that this is already done).

  4. open Windows Live Mail & run the hotkey ALT + F | Select import messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and point the Import Wizard to the folder created in step 2 above & click OK

  The imported data (files) will be located as subfolders in Windows Live Mail imported files as shown in the figure below:

  

  Once your OE messages were imported, they can (a) stay at this place, (b) be moved folder to created by the user in the storage of files (by the above illustration) or (c) be moved to a folder created by the user in an e-mail account (other than a Hotmail account) you set up in Windows Live Mail (i.e., to access your new messages).

  [By designed, Windows Live Mail creates a folder structure for each email account unique. or moved to the folder created by the user in the storage files.]

  To get instructions on the practice (b) or (c) above, see the bottom half of the blog post from my colleague of Windows Live Mail MVP most of what precedes is based (if not shamelessly copy/paste)-online http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2008/05/24/migrating-messages-in-accounts-from-outlook-express-to-windows-live-mail/

  [Actually, I'm going to ask him to review/critique my answer in case I may have made a blunder!]

  Good luck!

• migration from Outlook Express loses everything after 'group '.

  Hello
  I migrated from Outlook Express to Thunderbird on XP, then moved the files to Windows 8.
  I had a 'group' in my OE address book. Nothing after that that group name (which began with an H) has been migrated to the new address book. In other words, I lost everything after H.

  I also have these contacts on Gmail. Y at - it an easy way recover of EO (I guess I could remove the Group and start over, but it's a long process and I'm afraid to lose the mail I already sent on tuberculosis), or y at - it an easy way to get from gmail?

  Thank you.

  There are several solutions to your problem, which is the best for you which I do not pretend to know.

  There is the possibility of simply to copy the WAB to outlook express for Windows 7 and double click it to him bringing in the windows contacts folder. I have instructions here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/windows-contacts.html that include the Windows Contacts folder in Thunderbird.

  Alternatively, you can install one of the Add-ons to gmail contact sync. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/google-contacts

• How to migrate from Outlook Express to Thunderbird?

  I'm moving from a Windows XP computer to a new computer with Win7. Do I first move from Outlook Express to Thunderbird on the old machine (and what is the procedure?) and migrate them to the new, or configure Thunderbird to the new and export data from Outlook Express from the old machine? Thank you.

  Hi Jerryg,
  After reading your query on how to Outlook Express to convert Thunderbird, I searched on the web. Finally, I have concluded that there is no manual method to convert Outlook Express messages in MBOX file. This process can be done in two phases, which are:

  1 convert DBX file in PST
  2 then convert PST file in MBOX file

• A strange thing happens when I try to send a message from Outlook Express

  Whenever I try to send a message from Outlook Express to my Yahoo email account, the dialog box will move immediately to the status bar.  Is not that bad, but it seems too far on the right side of the screen, and I right-click on the status bar to maximize.  Any ideas on why this is happening?

  Can click you the title bar when it is on the right side and then move it to the left (try also the arrows).  If you can move it and then close it, then it should open in the center of the next time.

• Error: "some errors have occurred during the processing of requested tasks". Sending emails from Outlook Express

  Original title: Repetitivet sending emails from Outlook Express

  When sending emails from my Outlook Express , the following occurs:

  (1) as usual, send the message falls into my Outbox and begins to be sent.

  (2) when the message was sent, I get a message that "some errors occurred while processing requested tasks" but no actual errors are displayed.

  (3) the sent items folder does not show that a message has been sent... but a message has been sent.

  (4) the original message remains in my Outbox and will be sent over and over again.

  As you can imagine, it's a very embarrassing problem.  All suggestions are welcome, but please keep the instructions clear and simple.

  Hello

  Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed on your computer? To work on this question, see these steps.

  It seems that there is a corruption of dbx file.

  I suggest you go over your messages out of the Inbox, and then create new folders Outbox and sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  Reference:

  (a) click onTools

  (b) thenOptions

  (c) selectMaintenance

  (d) Record Store will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files.

  (e) Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste to start and select 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

  Reference:

  (a) clickStart

  (b) Control Panel

  (c) Folder Options icon

  (d) notice, or in Windows Explorer

  (e) Tools

  (f) the Folder Options

  ( viewof g).

  With Outlook Express 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 Outlook Express.

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  Reference:

  (a) clickOutlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open.

  (b) click onthe file

  (c) work offline (or double click working online in the status bar).

  (d) file

  (e) file

  (f) compact all folders. Wait for the compaction to complete.

  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 about a300 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

  Compact often as specified above.

  Reference:

  (a) in the Tools

  (b) selectOptions

  (c) maintenance:

  (d) uncheck Compact messages in the background and leave it unchecked. (N/a if running XP/SP2).

  And backup often.

• Can I combine email from Outlook Express?

  Can I combine email from Outlook Express?  & How does it work?

  To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).
   
  Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.
   
  You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.
   
  *********************
   
  You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.
   
  To create a group of contacts:
   
  You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.
   
  1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
  2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
  3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:

  (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
  to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
  (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
  4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.
   
  Note
   
  a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
   
  b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.
   
  If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).
   
  Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.
