• Impossible to delete the Inbox in outlook express

  I've had problems with Outlook Express 6.0 for a couple of minths now.  I can't delete messages in my Inbox and I can't drag those I want to save to other folders.  It is also extremely slow to open now.

  Any ideas that I can do to get this back to the way that it work use dto?

  I don't know what happened because of this problem.

  This can be difficult if you have messages in the Inbox you want to save, so let's start with what is safe.
   
   
  Create a new folder deleted items with no message in it that you want to save.
   
  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.
   
   
  Close OE, reboot and see if you can move messages from the Inbox to a folder created by the user. After the return. There is much more to do.
   

• Outlook Express 6.0. delete the Inbox

  I can't remove all the messages in my Inbox.

  You have corruption of dbx files.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox (if you can), and move the messages you want to record off deleted items and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

  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 Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

  Compact all folders as described below.

  To 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.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

  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:

• Do not delete the Inbox of messages. The folders deleted trash and still does not

  When I click on Delete on the messages that they do not remove it, they look just like they were read sometimes. I deleted the trash folders as they say on the Help menu, but that did not help. This happens not all the time but is very annoying. I have to restart thunderbird and then delete them and sometimes only 3 or 4 will delete until I have reboot again.

  Try to rebuild the troubled folder index file.
  Right click on the file - properties - file Repair

• My Outlook Express gives me an 0x800C0133 error. Impossible to delete my messages from the Inbox. Also, I don't find the file indox.dbx.

  I read the post on the copy the messages from the Inbox to another folder.  I tried, but get an error message.  I decided that I would just delete all but the messages will not delete.  I used the search function of windows to search for inbox.dbx, but he could not find the file.  I have a large number of messages in my Inbox and its ok if I lose all.  I get the error message when I start outlook express and download messages from my pop3 e-mail.  It still downloads messages from one of my other emails which is also a pop3 server.  I have windows xp pro and it is completely up to date.  Thank you...

• Move emails into local folders only removes them from the Inbox folder

  Hello.

  I use Thunderbird to check out and check all my mail for GMX.net. Since I want to only do this sporadically, I opted for the portable version (currently 31.4.0).) Download works very well and does move emails into local folders. However, when I checked the size of the Thunderbird folder, it seemed a bit heavy. Turns out that all mails were stored in two places - the Inbox folder of reception/mail (such as pop.gmx.net) AND in local folders (in separate files, reflecting the local folder names).

  Is this a normal behavior, can I disable it and simply delete the Inbox file manually without break?

  Here are the steps I followed:

  (1) create a local folder ('Hello')
  (2) ctrl + an Inbox in
  (3) right click, select move - local folders - 'Hello '.

  A lot depends on how you configure your pop server
  What to do with the deleted files and if keep you them on the server
  and what you do on files properties

  And compact your folders

• Oulook Express 6 it has an error and will not let me delete the email

  Original title: OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6 WINDOWS XP

  There out wrong and won't let me delete the email.  He still receives new e-mail.

  no problem viewing or respond.

  Anyone know an easy solution?

  the error code:

  An unknown error has occurred. Account: name, Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133

  Do as I have indicated above, but instead of moving most of the messages in your Inbox, all move them and delete the Inbox.dbx file as well.

  If you move all messages from the Inbox for a reason, do the above and then come back and move messages in the Inbox and then delete the Inbox.dbx with OE closed box.

• Outlook Express was really a huge box of Inbox.dbx so not a lot of emails in the Inbox

  I'm trying to help manage professional XP my main parent with Service Pack 2. I found the box of Inbox.dbx is over 1 GB. But when I really entered in Outlook Express I saw only 5 emails it with text content very limited in the Inbox. I also checked the "Deleted" folder and it's empty. Nothing in other folders.

  1. how the file is so large, while there is no much in there? I know that there might be a lot of emails before, but I was told they were all deleted months back.

  2. How can I get the file compacted in its actual size (for 7 e-mail that she actually owns)? I tried to change the store to see if Outlook Express creates a new store with only 7 emails in this file. But the new created files were exactly the same size as the 'old'.

  Hope someone can give me advice. Thank you.

  Are you sure that you look at the correct storage folder?

  If you are not interested in the search for missing messages, and you just want to clean it, move the 7 messages to a user created folder. Close OE and delete the Inbox.dbx file. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE and IIRC, it should be 139KO in size for an empty Inbox.

  If you try to retrieve messages, post back before doing anything.

  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.

• Deleted messages reappear later in the Inbox.

  Deleted messages in the Inbox folder again later received. Multiple copies in the accordingly deleted items folder. Quite annoying.

  OK, so this is what email provider? Thunderbird is a customer. It does not email addresses.

• Why my emails are not deleted the gmail server when I remove it from my Inbox?

  I use POP on Thunderbird version 31.7.0. I put the box "Leave Messages on server" and box "until I delete them. (Some articles say that the message is "until I have delete or move them from the Inbox" but my option just says "until I delete them".) It is perhaps a matter of version). When I delete a message from my Inbox, it is NOT deleted from the gmail Server inbox. This means that I have to delete them in two places, which is a pain, and I will probably try a different e-mail program if I can't solve this problem. Can you please help me in PLAIN English. I'm not a techie.

  I read the email in Thunderbird and then deleted. I compacted files. Then, I went into the Inbox, gmail and up-to-date, but email is still there. I did all the steps in the correct order or is there something else I'm missing.

• Is there a way to delete more than one email in the Inbox. In addition, how to remove all mail in the subfolder "delete"?

  I found a response to remove the Inbox of emails using the "shift" key, but it's a slow process, as I have 8 k emails. I think they're all in the folder 'delete' I need to go through the same process as indicated above to remove them permanently. The "Trash" folder I can do a right click on it and select "Empty trash" and it is gone. This feature is not available for the record of 'delete '. Has anyone found an easy way to empty folder "remove"?

  CTRL + a will select all of the emails currently displayed. In delete folder it just select emails by using ctrl +, then delete them using delete key on your keyboard, or the context menu.

  Suddenly, without any intervention on my side the trash of the card disappeared completely from my account in TB. I can't delete messages more in the Inbox. I created a submap in the Inbox. Cannot delete card, that is. How to fix/restore this problems?

  Very strange, usually if there is no "Basket" file, when you restart Thunderbird, it should create a new.

  Try this:
  Open your profile folder.
  Close Thunderbird.

  In "Mail" / "pop.ziggo.nl " - where do you see your files as files.
  Right-click in the empty space and select 'New' > 'text Document '.
  A file called 'New document texte.txt', a 'text Document' will appear.
  Rename this "basket", with a capital T and without extension.
  It will tell if you change a filename extension, the file may become unusable, are you sure you want to change it? Click Yes.

  Close the window and restart Thunderbird.

  Now, try to delete an e-mail message.

  I just added a sixth account to my installation of Thunderbird. There was no problem in adding the account and I can send and receive emails without problem. However, I can't delete emails from the Inbox. What should I do to correct this?

  OK, then compact Inbox:

  It is recommended that you enable automatic compaction. More information on the compaction in this article.

  I don't expect more problems with deleting messages after compaction.

  If you still have problems, follow these instructions.
