deletion does not work in outlook express 6.0

When you just through emails, looking at them and finally to delete... I have a problem that it (delete) works for a while, and then for some reason, the icon of deletion at the top of the disposal of the OE stops working (pushing deletion does nothing).  I can then bring down OE and save. He will work for a while, and then the same problem occurs.

Explore 8, OE 6.0

You have damaged dbx files.
 
Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox 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:
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:

    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.

  • Body of the email does not print in Outlook Express

    Body of the email does not print
     
    I had this same question posted under Outlook but was advised to post it under Windows...
    I use windows xp professional outlook express and the body of the email will not be printed.  The printer works well with other programs and the title of the print emails.  I does not matter if I try to print starting from the preview pane, or open the email and try to print from there.  All the settings are the same as they were while he was working.  We use a printer HP Officejet Pro 8500 has.  I have forwarded this email to my son who also uses xp and outlook and print with all the problems.  I made a diagnosis on the printer and it says it's in good working condition.  From now the only way to print an email is to copy in word and print it from there.  Any thoughts?

  • Address book does not load in OutLook Express

    Operation of a limited account, Outlook Express cannot open the address book with
    the following messages:
    (1) the address book failed to load. Outlook Express s wrong
    configured, please re-install.
    (2) unable to open the address book. The address book cannot be
    installed correctly.

    However, if the limited account is changed to an administrator account
    are no problem.

    There are two accounts on the PC; HP_Administrator and User1. User1 is the
    the problem account. HP_administrator has administrator privileges
    and if User1 receives administrative privileges, and then I noticed that the two accounts
    use the same address book. In other words, Outlook Express
    "-> Addresses--> help on address book" in the two accounts show

    C:\Documents and Data Data\Microsoft\Address Book\Administrator.wab

    used as the address book.

    This seems incorrect. I would expect Admin to be replaced by HP_Administrator
    or User1 in the path above, according to the account that Outlook Express has been
    Run from. It seems that the operating system is configured to use the address book above,
    regardless of the account running Outlook Express. If User1 is a limited account
    It is not possible to view the location of the address book due to the error that
    is happening, but I suspect that Outlook Express attempts to access the address book
    above and a problem arises due to try limited permissions User1 account
    to access the address book in the folder of the administrator.

    Windows XP with service pack 2 is the operating system and of its Outlook Express 6.

    What do I do so that Outlook Express can operate successfully in the
    limited account User1.

    The problem has been resolved. I wrote the solution for people
    who, like me, have no experience with the Windows operating system.

    The sites of these links must be read. For Outlook express
    http://www.insideoe.com,

    more precisely

    http://www.insideoe.com/files/WAB.htm.

    For more information about the registry and how to change the following two sites
    provide the necessary information and should be read carefully.

    (1) http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/learn-how-use-windows-registry-editor-regedit-one-easy-lesson.htm

    (2) http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsr/p/registrywindows.htm
    (You will find other useful links on this site)

    A single note; There are different sets of keys "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", 1 set for each
    account. To change a "HKEY_CuRRENT_USER" key for the user account, you must be
    logged in as user.

    In the registry, the key to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab file name.
    contains the path of the address book used by Outlook Express, for
    the account that you are logged.

    When logged on as a user and by examining the registry with regedit

    "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB/WAB4\Wab file name.

    the value

    C:\Documents and Data Data\Microsoft\Address Book\Administrator.wab.

    Given that the user is a limited account, user doesn't have the privilege to access the address book in this
    location, which led to the errors listed in the original post. The solution is to
    change this path. Using regedit path has changed to

    C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\User.wab.

    C:\Documents and Settings\nom being the folder root for the user account, the user has
    the privilege to access the address book to the new location. Outlook express has been
    then be able to access the address book.

    Upon reflection, it seems to me that the above solution is just a symptom, and not the cause.
    The original question, in fact, should be:

    How the system is configured so that when a new account is created the new account
    will use an address book to

    C:\Documents and Account\Application Book\New Account.wab Data\Microsoft\Address CAB.

    Instead of

    C:\Documents and Data Data\Microsoft\Address Book\Administrator.wab,.

    It should not be necessary to change the registry for each new account.

    Hello, reda,

    Wow.  I had finally fixed it!

    I rebooted in safe mode and Office would not work.  I got an error message saying:

    "MS Office is unable to verify the license for this application.  A repair attempt failed or was canceled by the user.  The application will now be stopped. »

    When I rebooted normally, the same error message!  If I could use not any Office10 application at all!

    I tried to run repair a few times without success.

    Then, I tried to re - enter my key product several times with no success.

    So I completely uninstalled Office, rebooted and tried to reinstall it.  He would not move from the DVD; It got stuck after a few minutes!  (I had already reinstalled the DVD even Office a few times before to try to solve my problem, so I didn't think that the DVD was bad.)

    Finally, I borrowed a USB key with the Office Setup program from one of our it specialists.  Finally I could reinstall Office10, enter my product key and activate the online office!

    And now everything works perfectly.

    Thank you very much for your help and encouragement.

    Kind regards
