Express e-mail contacts outlook recover deleted

I deleted by mistake the e-mail contacts in outlook express.

How can I retrieve this information?

1: select Show files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

2: now, do a search for *.wab and ~ wa

Do you find a usable address book with your missing contacts? If so, note its location. Open OE, and then open the address book. File | Import | Address book (wab), and then tap on where you found it.

    original title: permantntly deleted email

    How can I get several years of e-mails that have been compacted and deleted Outlook express and are not in my deleted messages folder?

    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.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery methods:

    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. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  • Deletion of e-mail in Outlook Express for Web server

    I have Outlook Express 6 and AT & T/Yahoo email on the web.  I love the speed of using Outlook Express 6 to delete the mails in the Inbox (the capability of listening more double glazing of emails).  How can I delete the emails in Outlook Express to synchronize the deletion of the email in my Yahoo mail server?  AT & T/Yahoo is my default e-mail account.  Outlook Express should be the default e-mail program to use this function?  Removal of e-mails in Outlook Express removes not email from Yahoo, even if Outlook Express is set to 'Empty messages from the folder items deleted leaving' and the delivery has been set to "remove the server after deleting in deleted items.  Would appreciate any help.

  • Outlook Express automatically 'spam' messages... deleted?

    When Outlook Express download since my mail server it automatically deletes messages, that he sees as spam and I swallowed in a folder that opens temporarily out of the deleted items folder, and then exits.  But I never find where these downloaded messages and missing persons are passed (and they are not in the McAffee Spam folder).  Where these messages go and how can I find them?

    OE and McAfee do not work well together.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 at a minimum, you must disable the analysis of e-mail and antispam functionality and then remove your e-mail account and add it back again.  Then OE should work better.  Even better would be to remove McAfee and get something less invasive such as www.microsoft.com/security_essentials .  But this isn't a matter of OE you meet, but rather a McAfee publishes.  The messages are probably removed from the file and place the file is filled with zeros there where the messages were - that has been my experience anyway.  But then the OE database is not in agreement with what is actually there, and things OE even deleted messages from McAfee are still there.

    Outlook Express problems

    I can't send or receive e-mails via Outlook Express.

    I can access through my ISP webmail.

    In short and in laymans terms (I'm not a tech wiz) the automatic link between my ISP and Outlook Express does not work.

    I also lost all my emails in the Inbox.

    I run a Windows XP Home Edition.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Search for interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  Then go to file | Identities and establish a new identity.  Add your email account and see if it works very well.  If so, you can go to file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

    Then, if you lost messages, check the trash and the message of the old identity store bak files that are backups of dbx files that you can retrieve (see point 2 on the page above).  If there is no bak file, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) has an excerpt from disc feature that will analyze the entire hard drive for messages and if they are still there, it will recover them.
