  • Where can I find the Outlook Express Mail Server name Info

    original title; Outlook Express Mail Server name Info

    How to check or enter the name of the server for Outlook Express? I get an error message indicating that I entered the server name correctly but I don't know how to correct it. My mail will never be out fo. I have photos I am trying to send to Snapfish and they will not download.

    I've never used Snapfish, but I don't see where this has nothing to do with Outlook Express, an e-mail client. While glancing at their website, it seems that you download photos from your computer as you would to Photobucket or SkyDrive, you do not send by e-mail their. You should not need to use any e-mail program to achieve this.

  • I can't find my outlook express address book after you migrate successfully from the old computer. The "Address book" tab shows that local address book empty.

    I move from a Windows XP computer to a Windows 7 computer. My old computer has Outlook Express. I've migrated successfully my emails and messages archived in Thunderbird on the new computer. I also migrated the Outlook Express address book using an external hard drive, but I was not able to understand how to find the Outlook Express address book in Thunderbird. The only way that I could find the Outlook Express address book, is to go to 'tools' and 'import' and then import the Outlook Express address book. When I do this, the Outlook Express address book features, duplicate entries (because I imported twice now). When the Outlook Express address book shows, it works without problems and I can use it to send emails. But once I close the Outlook Express address book, I can't find him. Other messages, I see that the "Address book" tab in Thunderbird should open a window containing a list of available on the left side address books. But this window in my computer does not display a list of address books. There is just a blank window for the address book personal (it has no contacts inside) and there is nothing on the left side.

    in the display (alt + V) address book menu > layout > directory pane.

    In addition to the problem that is described in this article with temporary files, Outlook Express can have an empty message, if Internet Explorer is configured to display, coding for automatic selection. If so, disable the automatic selection in Internet Explorer and choose rather Western European (ISO). If your program has an option to read HTML messages as plain text, the HTML version of the message may appear as an ATT0001. HTM attachment (the number may vary).
  • I use Outlook Express messaging in Windows XP. How can I change the "READING" of West Euro (ISO) (Windows)? (ISO is default, NO selecttion option)

    I use Outlook Express messaging in Windows XP. Display Hebrew characters of the name of the sender and the subject? and the body of the message often appears in giberish (I guess it's ASCII). My ' READ' international property is Euro (ISO), West it is grayed and I have no option to Western Euro (Windows), (no drop-down option). My "send " is OK, I had a choice, and it's on (windows).

  • How can I move the outlook express emails from an XP PC to an another XP PC that has the same e-mail address without overwriting existing messages on this second PC?

    How can I move the outlook express emails from an XP PC to an another XP PC that has the same e-mail address without overwriting existing messages on this second PC?

    I need to group together all messages from e-mail in a PC and to retire the first PC.

    This could be problematic. I guess or OE is over? This would make it easy.
     
    One thing you could do requires some manual work, but much less removal of dupes. For example, the Inbox. In the machine, you are going to scrap, create a new folder and move all messages in your Inbox to it. After you import on the other machine, you can drag the messages you need this folder in the Inbox, and then remove the user created the folder.
     
    And then there are tools to remove the dupes. This one for example.
     

     
     
  • MSIMN.exe is missing from the Outlook Express folder. I have XP SP3 and IE 8.

    MSIMN.exe is missing from the Outlook Express folder which has 11 files it contains.  OE has never been installed.   I have XP Pro SP 3 IE 8.

    I bought a Dell 5 years computer and it works well. I have no e-mail program, and none has ever been installed. It seems that I only have Outlook (not installed) but I really want/need from OE 6.   MSIMN.exe is XP and is not downloadable from Ms.  Help!

    It may be a hidden file.  Make sure you have these active under control panel | Folder options | View.
     
    And go to start | Run and type (or copy and paste):

  • Outlook Express messages are hidden there not displaying not new messages

    The display in the name of the customer.

    Outlook Express messages are hidden there not displaying not new messages

    Try to go to view | Current view | Show all messages and do not check the chat messages.

    If its possible that there is corruption of the Inbox and the user can move all messages from the Inbox to another folder created by the user and then close OE and delete the inbox.dbx file.  OE will create a new.

    Now is the right time to save messages: see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

  • My Outlook Express messages are saved as .ids please help

    After getting a virus tds, I tried to backup my Outlook Express messages by copying the identities under the application data folder. The problem is that in the exact folder where Outlook Express said that it stored the messages that I have 3 files with the correct names: Inbox, saved etc. but extensions are .ids NOT .dbx and the files are only about 1 KB. My Oulook Express reinstalled does not recognize these files and rename the .dbx does not help. Of course since they only about 1 KB of real data probably isn't there somehow. So even if Outlook Express has actually done this folder as folder where it was stored, is it possible that my messages were stored somewhere else, under data of demand or they are lost forever? I will state that I have no file .dbx anywhere!

    Tina.

    Do this first:

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

    Now, do a search and look for *.dbx

    Don't you think that all dbx files that are not part of your new message store folder? Note the location and after return.

  • Outlook express message files compact

    Once my machine started to the top I get the outlook express compact files pop up message.  I did not and have never used outlook express for email, so why OE delivers this message.  I tried to completely remove the OE my machine, but all attempts to remove or rename files either result in a "file in use" message, or in the case of an attempt to change of name, the system creates a new copy.  Full scans the machine AV don't identify any issues of Trojan or malicious and all software security patches are applied.

    Can anyone tell how to stop this message occurs please?

    CHRS Bert

    Leave you compact once, correct? If you did, here is the complete list of opportunities.

    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.

    In the case of Windows Search, (the offender #1), you must be told to stop indexing OE.

    Windows Search. Set Desktop Search Options:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Australia/windows/desktopsearch/search/options.mspx

    In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.

    In the case of Nero Scout, see point 2.3 page 8 here.
    FTP://ftp6.Nero.com/user_guides/Nero8/Scout/NeroScout_Enu.PDF

    In the option to exclude indexing of selected file types, remember to add these file types:

    .eml, .dbx & .nws

  • After transfer from XP to Win7 I don't see on the Outlook Express folder

    I am convert Outlook Express on Windows XP running on Thunderbird running on Windows 7. I installed Thunderbird on my XP computer and took the import of Outlook Express which created the Outlook Express import file that does contain not all emails that I wanted to remember. I installed Thunderbird on my Windows 7 computer and copied the Windows XP profile folder. Because profile names were different, I changed the value in the profile.ini file as well as in the parameter settings in Thunderbird to match this copied value. However, I don't see the folder Outlook Express from Thunderbird. If I navigate under the profile folder structure I see the Outlook Express import records. Any help in accessing these data would be useful. Since I was still all the data on my XP machine I can if necessary reinstall Thunderbird.

    Eureka! I tried a finish and it worked. Tools > import. Then I selected mail only > next > Outlook Express and then I sailed to the Outlook Express folder already under the folder Thunderbird Mail and even if he says nothing has been imported the structure of this file and I can see and access emails from Outlook Express.

    When I click on anything it either in the Outlook Express Preview window to stop answer and I have use the ctrl-alt-del combination for her all over again. Anyone out there have the same problem? If so what did you do about it.

    Original title: I'm under Oulook Express 6 Windows XP Home SP3 environment.

    Bruce:

    The problem has been fixed (I think) but in a most unusual way. Let me explain.

    When I was closing down to give the computer a rest yesterday, there was a pop up saying that vprotector expected to close. He really wanted the process of closing until I clicked on finish the process. Curious to know what vprotector is, I searched on the net and got a lot of shots, saying: it is a virus and should be deleted pronto. So I searched the hard drive for the vprot. * and found in the folder program files for AVG!

    I then went to AVG to see if it's really a part of AVG and they said yes. If there is a problem with vprot, the toolbar is at fault and needs to be reinstalled. There was one click here to download and run the part of the program to fix the problem. However, I had WebRoot antivirus running that stopped the download of this program as a virus. Because I trust AVG, I've disabled WebRoot and reinstalled the AVG search bar.

    I haven't restarted WebRoot and computer flying along as it should, and OE is the link to IE when I click on a link as it has always done.

    Seems to me to be the faulty AVG toolbar and a cross with two virus programs upward was at fault. Thank you for your time. Your reply gave me a chance to think differently this problem could arise.

    Computers are really complicated machines and we have to be complicated to deal with their problems.

    Thanks again,

    Fred

  • Two days ago, that the Outlook Express icon on my taskbar was traded involuntarily to Outlook. How to recover Outlook Express icon and the e-mail service that accompanies it.

    Until October 26, 2012, there were three icons on the toolbar from my computer next to the Start button: 1 Internet Explorer 2. 3. Outlook Express desktop. A time gave that day - Thursday when Winows 8 came out - the Outlook Express icon has been replaced by Outlook without any action on my part. I would like to have the Outlook Express icon returns as well as the electronic mail service that it represents. Thank you. Michael Adey
