  Compacted Outlook Express and save some of my emails.  Now, I need access to the following, but can not open them.  How to reopen these emails?

  Hi Redtiger1705,

  Lost emails immediately after compact preforming?
  If so, Outlook Express creates BAK files before compaction. They are copied there as a precaution, in case something goes wrong with the compaction. The following steps should help those rear:
  
  1) open Outlook Express and go to tools, Options, maintenance, store folder. Copy the entire path to the storage folder, and then click OK.  Close Outlook Express.

  (2) go to the basket and search for all files with the .bak extension.  Restore the most recent .bak files. That he will put in the OE store folder, but still like a BAK file.

  (3) click on start, run and paste the path that you copied in step 1 in the run box, and then press ENTER.

  4) click Tools, Folder Options. In the Folder Options window, click the view tab.

  (5) less advanced, uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types".

  (6) you should see the two sent a Sent Items.dbx from the file as well as the Items.bak. Rename the Sent Items.DBX to Sentold.dbx and Rename Items.Bak sent to Sent Items.DBX. When you open OE, your messages sent items must be restored.

  Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!

• Try to restore the emails (in Outlook Express 6.0) that have been deleted after compaction.

  After compacting was done several of my recent emails have been deleted.  This never happened before.  I went to the trash and click on restore for each of them, but none are returned in the received or sent items box.  I know they are there somewhere but don't know how to find them.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get back them?

• Deleting files in Outlook Express

  I use Outlook Express Version 6 and suddenly find that I can't delete emails. Help please!

  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.

• Records Compact Outlook Express popup message

  About Outlook Express message appears continuously want to compact files. I did it, but he continues to appear every few seconds. How can this be stopped?

  Here is my first answer canned. If not either of these programs, see if something else here fits. It is usually Windows Serch, that's why I jumped right to it.

  The problem is with the registry counter which gives you the prompt after 100 closures of OE. It is increased faster than it should be, and even if you do not OE.

  There are a growing number of programs and actions that can cause after installing SP3. You have following situations?

  Keyboard IBM rapid access (pilot) RAKDLL. DLL
  Search Windows {office}
  MailWasher
  Nero-plug-in (s)

  Opening of EML files while OE is closed will also help the County to register.

  Different antivirus, antispyware, and third-party firewall, especially if they were running when you installed SP3.
