Help with emails lost on the version of outlook express 6

Outlook express deleted at random 2 years worth of my emails. Is there anyway to get back them. ? They are not in the deleted section

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? :
http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
 
 
 
 
Recovery methods:
 
If you are running XP/SP3, 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.
 

Note: If you have new messages in the folder you are go restore, move them to a folder first created user, or they will be lost. They can be moved once the old posts have been restored.
 

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
 
 
 
 
 
 

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.

  • My older version of outlook express has several problems, will be these imported into a new account in thunderbird

    My older version of Outlook Express has acquired several problems. It is time for a change, these errors will be imported into a new account in Thunderbird. I hope that everything is based on the conviction that the two programs are completely different.

    You don't say what problems you have with OE, then how everyone has to guess?

    There is no such thing as a "Thunderbird account. You do not have an account with your email provider. To access this account, you can use OE, or Thunderbird.
    But Thunderbird isn't your e-mail provider.

  • lost/deleted a folder in outlook express

    I lost/deleted a folder in outlook express and do not know how to get it back, I have a lequipetv.fr email accounrt if it's important. I have windows vista ultimate 2007 service pack 2

    Look in the list of folders and make sure that the folder is not listed under the deleted items folder (you can move it if it is).  If you simply delete a file, this is what usually happens.

    If it is not listed under the deleted items folder, you can also check the message store (Tools |) Options | Maintenance | Folder for the storage location) to see if the file is still there as a dbx file (hidden).  Also check him Recycle Bin and the message save a file bak with the name of the folder since it is a backup which you can restore (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2).

    Finally, if it is really gone and there is no dbx or bak file, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) has an excerpt from disc feature that will scan the hard drive for messages and if they are still on the disk, it will recover them.

  • copy the address book Outlook Express for Hotmail - can't get in Outlook Express

    copy the address book Outlook Express for Hotmail - can't get in Outlook Express.

    Lately I often can't get into my Outlook email.  I know that I can use Hotmail, but I need my address book. I know that it has to see with the Qwest no longer carring MSN.   Can you tell me how to recover or to carry it?

    Thank you, Cookie 303-371-6295 or 303-931-4632

    The address book is a file with an extension of wab file.  Search for *.wab and then you can click on it to open it.  You can then go to file | Export | Address book, then save it as a csv file.  To import into Hotmail, as in this case: www.windowslivehelp.com because it is where are the experts of Hotmail.

  • How can I move all the folders in Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail?

    Bought a new computer with Windows Home, how can I move the folders of Outlook Express in Windows XP SP3 in Windows Live Mail? Thanks for your help.

    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

    For Messages:

    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    Location of OE message store:

    In 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.

    For addresses:

    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.

    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.

    For the account settings:

    In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.
    For additional help with WLMail, please ask in this forum.

  • Need help with workflow to criticize the images of the student

    We used Lightroom CC to criticize images students workshop by import of each card and then work in the develop Module to try different culture, exhibition, etc. Process import/copy files got the largest, became too long for each card. We want to use the Add option, but of course, it is not available when importing from a card SD/CF.

    I need in the catalog previews pretty long to select a half dozen with them to review/edit. The changes are mainly to show how they can adjust their framing and exposure in the future, don't not to teach fitting, so they published versions have no special value.

    I'd rather leave the files on student cards, create standard previews when importing and only create previews of 1:1 on the fly for the images that we edit in fact, usually 5-6 of each session. While criticizing us, then eject and pop in the next map, I leave the card in the reader (USB 3.0).

    They shoot in RAW and would not lose quality by switching to a compressed format or JPG format. Some could be prepared to shoot RAW + JPG for the workshop and simply import the jpg to criticize, but that presents them with a problem of management of file and possibly lowered an image quality for mounting piece.

    Any suggestions? I would like to stay with LR to do this, at least there is no good option in LR, because I also teach LR in the workshop, but would consider another tool or add-in, if it was the best option.

    Thank you very much for Maine.

    This is not an option with LR. For any image to display in LR and any changes that will be her the leader/s must be copied to a physical HARD drive that is connected to the system. Memory cards are not treated as physical disks and I don't know anyway to change this in LR

    I suggest that you try Adobe Bridge and then use ACR directly from bridge to make your editing. All functions in ACR are the same as in the module development of LR and you won't have to copy the images to the hard drive first, push as far as I know. I just tested that and it seems to work fine, except that no sidecard the XMP files are created on the memory card. If the changes could only be stored in the cache ACR system and all changes are lost once the card is ejected.
