• How can I get my emails in Outlook Express on my Windows 7 PC?

  Outlook Express email

  I recently changed computers because my old hard drive crashed.  Now I have Windows 7 and cannot access my emails that were in Outlook Express, because it is no longer available.  How can I get my emails in Outlook Express?  They are important!

  You can get details on the import process in the Windows Live Mail here forum: www.windowslivehelp.com , but you need to find and save the old disk dbx files.  You can get an envelope to connect the drive to the new PC and copy the old dbx files, or you can have a tech company such as Best Buy do it for you.  They will be hidden so you must enable the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View and also uncheck the option there to hide the extensions of the types of known files so you can better distinguish the files.  Once you find them, copy them to a subdirectory of the Office of the Win7 machine and then check the properties of the files to ensure that they are not read-only.  Then you can import them into WLM, I hope, and if not, you can get a program to extract messages and then drag them into the folders of WLM.

• How can I copy book addess of outlook express on your laptop running xp, to a new laptop running win7 and office outlook

  How can I copy book addess of Outlook Express on your laptop running xp, to a new laptop running Win7 and office Outlook 2007.

  I don't know if Outlook will import directly a stand-alone WAB. He could.

  You might try that first.

  If this does not work, you have two easy options.

  1 export the OE address book to CSV file and import that into Outlook. (Make sure you check the mapping of the fields before making the final import)

  2. install Outlook temporarily on the XP machine and import the addfressbook. Transfer the pst file that result to Outlook on the new, open and copy all contacts in all.

• How can I fix error 0x800C0133 # for Outlook Express 6

  I had been away from my Outlook Express 6 on this computer for several months and when I went to download e-mail messages that have been accumulated, he kept downloading the same emails again and again until there were about 70 000 e-mails between my account from Comcast and Hotmail via Outlook Express.  When I tried to remove them, I could not, then at some point all of my emails have disappeared and I can send emails, but I can't receive them and I get the error message 0x800CO133 and I don't know what to do.  How can I fix it?

  Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.

  Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.

  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 | View.

  With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  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.

  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:

  I accidentally hit Ctrl + H now all messages in outlook express appears in folders according to the title.  How to cancel it? Or if I can't is worth it to change your Outlook express 6 or will go wrong with me? I use windows xp

  You can sort by different columns by clicking the columnheader.  Clicking a second time will sort by this column in the opposite direction.  So try clicking on columnheader to the field in which you want to sort the messages by.  Also, go to view | Display and uncheck the option to view Messages by Conversation, like CTRL-H enable / disable this option.

  You don't need to do a system restore.

• It's urgent! How can I delete my account in outlook express and the history of mail?

  Dear Ms team / users.

  As it was not my personal computer, but the office so I want to remove my account from outlook express and delete the history that there are.
  I think I deleted my account, but I'm not able to remove the history accordingly, anyone can see my emails just by clicking on outlook express.
  Please help it is urgent.
  Thanks in advance.
  Kind regards
  Vaibhav

  Follow these steps only if no one else is using this Outlook Express identity.

  1: in OE: tools | Accounts | Delete the account.

  2: delete all messages in the OE files and empty the deleted items folder.

  3: remove all the dbx files in the message of store with OE closed. When it is open, new, and create empty dbx files.

  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 files of user OE (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.

  Close OE store folder and open Outlook Express. Select all the dbx files and delete them.

• How can I repair file DBX corrupted outlook express.

  2 GB of data is available canned Inbox.dbx, but because of the corrupt header files dbx or any other problem, I'm not able to see the mails.

  Kindly help.

  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.

  Recovery tools:

  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:

  After sending e-mails, Outbox of Outlook Express says empty but messages are still there.  Whenever I hit send, it sends everything again.  How to uninstall and reinstall Outlook Express?

  You have apparent dbx file corruption.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  Protocol URL: HyperText Transfer with Privacy should be the same.

  If the foregoing is correct, uncheck the box: use DDE.

  And if you still have problems, try a new OE identity.

  You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

• How can I get rid of an Outlook Express message that appears at startup?

  The message is placed:

  To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compress...

  I don't even use Outlook Express.

  If you are comfortable in the Windows registry, you can navigate to the following address:

  \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\ {Long ID Number}

  Name: "Compact Check Count".

  Value = 0

  Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.

  Good luck
