  • entering and using multiple e-mail addresses for one contact in the address book in Outlook Express

    Some of my contacts asking me to send emails to all addresses. Because I can enter several e-mail addresses for a contact in my address book, how can I get the automatic address entry button to enter more than one address for a contact and not only the default address?

    You will need to have separate lists (and names) for each address in address book. For example...

  • Why my emails are deleted 9/20 on today from outlook express?

    I had over 100 emails disappear from 9/21 - today who has suddenly disappeared. What's happening w / outlook express?

    They got probably deleted the file.  If this is the case, check the Recycle Bin for the bak files are backups of dbx files or restore from a backup.  If you have no backup, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) may be able to extract the messages from the file, if they are still there, or from the disk, if they are still on the disk clusters.

    In the future, it is important to back up frequently, as often happens, especially if you leave the files go through a few hundred megabytes.

  • Why not delete messages in my Inbox in Outlook Express

    Why I can no longer delete messages in my Inbox in Outlook Express, on rare occasions, I can delete message weird thre. I use IE 8.

    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:
    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:

  • Help! -I can't delete messages in my Inbox in Outlook Express 6

    Hello.
    I can't delete messages in my Inbox in Outlook Express 6. An idea

    1. move all the messages that you want to keep out of the folders Inbox, sent items and deleted items and in other local OE folders have created you for archiving (backup) of such messages.

    2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

    2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

    3. close OE.

    4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & delete the files Inbox.dbx, Outbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbx.

    5 empty the trash.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

    N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

    -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

    -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More on http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

    -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

    -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:
