• Outlook Express corrupt

  Outlook Express 6

  I have files corrupted in Outlook Express 6 and I need to download a full version of Outlook 6... but I'm not. All I can find is updated and security downloads... Bill

  Define corrupt file.

  Outlook Express is a part of IE6 and both are part of XP. Therefore, you can download a new OE. Try a new identity.

  You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identity | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

  Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

• Outlook Express error (corrupt Inbox file) 0x800c0133

  I use Outlook Express. I can send, but not receive. I have deleted many emails that were never deleted, but still cannot receive. I was told that I have a damaged the Inbox file. Something about the Inbox.dbx box, but I don't know or how to fix this error.

  Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.
   
  
  Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.
   
  
  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 | View.
   
  
  With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx 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.
   
  
  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often. Space messages take up is not recovered until you compact.
   
  
  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.

• Outlook Express - repair/restoration of corrupted DBX files

  Hello

  I recently lost a number of local folders in my Outlook Express (OE) I found in the store DBX. However OE does not read/open them very probably because they are corrupt. It is apparently a common problem.

  I searched and found a few tools that claim to repair/recover corrupted DBX and I tried three demo versions. None of them were able to repair corrupt DBX files. One of the tools has been honest enough to admit that some files may be irremediably, and he provided a full scan of the drive that found a number of lost/deleted messages, some of which were originally in the records the of OE that I had lost. Although no no trouble so far, no cost using the versions demo.

  A number of experts suggested a tool called DBXPRESS claiming to recover the corrupted DBX files. Unfortunately, no demo version is available as proof of effectiveness before buy you.

  Are repairable corrupted DBX files, as claimed by the softwar ecompanies and if so, how, and with what software?
  As it is a common and potentially disastrous problem, not Microsoft should be persuaded to provide a radical solution to avoid a manual tedious backup process.

  All views / advice is much appreciated.

  Concerning

  Paul

  Outlook Express is an e-mail and news client supplied with Internet Explorer. Outlook Express is a different application from MS Outlook. The two programs do not share a common code base, but share a common architectural philosophy. Outlook Express uses the Windows address book to store contact information and integrates tightly with it. Microsoft Internet Mail and News was a freeware e-mail and news client and ancestor of Outlook Express.

  The executable file of Outlook Express, msimn.exe, is a remnant of the era Internet Mail and News. Internet Mail and News managed only plain text and rich text email ( RTF), lack of HTML e-mail message.

  Outlook Express has been subject to a number of problems which can corrupt its files database, especially when the database increases volume due to the increase in number of stored emails and during compaction of the database.

  The dbx file Corruption can occur due to these reasons:

  1 MSIMN has caused an IPF in module Msoe.dll.

  2 MSIMN caused a page fault in module Msoe.dll at address.

  3 outlook Express could not be started. It cannot be installed correctly. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you're not out of memory.

  4 outlook Express could not be started because Msoe.dll could not be initialized. Outlook Express is not installed properly.

  Outlook Express stores e-mail messages in the databases that have a .dbx file extension. Each folder in Outlook Express (same subfolders) has a database that are associated with; so if you have 20 folders you have twenty databases. The databases have the same name files so the Inbox folder has a database called Inbox.dbx.

  In these cases over corruption is probably in the file "Folders.dbx". It's the main index more of the entirety of the record Store and without it, Outlook Express is unable to do anything, in this case, the only solution is to delete the file corrupted in the storage folder. This will allow Outlook Express to start and to build a new "Folders.dbx" by re-indexing of all the DBX files it finds in the storage folder.

  For lost information, follow these steps:

  1. recreate your e-mail folders hierarchy by dragging files in place in the list of folders. Note that any folder that you've created to group sub files but that does not itself contain messages will not appear in the list of the files and must be recreated.

  2 re - download the list of groups of discussion of each news account.

  3 reset your subscribed discussion groups and re-download the messages.

  4. set options on IMAP folder synchronization and newsgroup.

  5. modify a message rule that moves or copies the messages in folders other than the Inbox.

  Here are the steps from which you can return the loss of information. And if your information not recovered again then it could be a serious problem. In this case, go for the recovery software to recover your data from dbx files. I can send you a link that can surely help you recover your lost data. Try this link:

  Good bye.

• How can I repair file DBX corrupted outlook express.

  2 GB of data is available canned Inbox.dbx, but because of the corrupt header files dbx or any other problem, I'm not able to see the mails.

  Kindly help.

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

  Recovery tools:

  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.

• Corrupt Outlook Express-how to remove/reinstall

  Somehow my Outlook Express has become corrupted - no amount of technical support of AT & T could fix and I am now using Web Mail (AT & T), but it is not acceptable. I need to remove/reinstall Outlook Express. What should I do?

  Create a new identity and see if the problem persists there. If it works, you can import your messages for her. Also make sure that everything is correct here.

  If it's a US or CA, Yahoo account, and that you are not subscribed to Yahoo Mail Plus, then you cannot access the account in Outlook Express.

Clearly all was not right so I read the help and uninstalled Thunderbird, set outlook express as the default e-mail, downloaded again Thunderbird client program and this time, that all the files were there with the emails within them - but the Inbox will hold about 5 emails...

  Seems he must move it without having to do that, but strange things can happen!

  Outlook express is notorious for corrupt DBX files. not always as things do not work in express Ouytlook.

  Menu (Alt + T) tools > import and you can retry the import as often as you want. Each test will create a folder of expresss [number] outlook under local folders with what he got in them.

• Emails on Outlook Express are empty

  Original title: Outlook Express

  I use Outlook Express for my e-mail, but since the evening of February 5, 2013, we can't consider the contents of all emails (including the old and new emails).  I still get e-mails, but I do not see who it is from, date sent and time and the subject line.  Please tell us how can I view the contents of these emails.

  Your Inbox has been corrupted and the messages may have been erased it.  Close OE and go to the message store and move the inbox.dbx file to another location.  OE will create a new.  To get the older Inbox messages, you can try to extract (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) or you can look in the trash or message store to get an inbox.bak file and if it is present, you can import it back into OE using the method described here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1 (see also page for more information about the location of message storage and see also www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2).

  This happens a bit OE users because they let their files get above a few hundred megabytes and once this happens they get very sensitive to the type of corruption that you encounter.  In the future, it is recommended that you back up your important messages, as this is likely to happen again, or your hard drive may fail.

• My outlook express won't let emails through. I am getting an authorization and then an error will appear.

  Outlook express won't come through

  My outlook express won't let emails through. I am getting an authorization and then an error will appear. Sometimes it will say: reception of messages, but none will come by.  A box appears and says that he put an end to the connection, maybe because of the connection to the server, the long period of inactivity or network connection. Also, I get a message on and which was completely removed several times on the file inbox and delete. I have no idea how to solve this problem or what I did to make it. I've never experienced this before.

  You probably have the widespread corruption of dbx files. Try in a new identity.

  File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

  Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

  In addition, follow these guidelines to help avoid this in the future.

  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.
