How can Outlook express - I delete the emails in sent folders? I can't find any option to do so

I have 1700 messages in my folder "sent mail" Outlook Express.  How can I remove them?  I can't find any option to do so.

Click on one to select it, and then Ctrl + A will highlight all. Right-click | Remove.

You can add remove button of the toolbar or use the keyboard as well delete key.

After your done, compact your folders.

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.

Compress your OE folders:

********************************

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.

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:

And backup often.

    Hi desneill,

    I m wondering that someone is still using Outlook Express right now... There are many other good email programs

    In any case, it would be interesting to know which version of Outlook Express you are using and what operating system.
    Try an update to Outlook Express and Internet Explorer as well

    And think about other software like Thunderbird mail ;)

  • Outlook Express - cannot delete all emails

    Cannot delete all emails.  irems deleted folder is empty. can still send and receive e-mail

    Hi edaward68,

    1. When did you start to question?

    2. what exactly happens when you try to delete the mails?

    3. do you get error messages or error codes?

    You can try to rename delete point .dbx and check:

    a. Click Start, point to find and then click files or folders.

    b. in the named, box type deleted item.dbx

    (c) in the area to look in, click on your main hard drive (usually drive C), and then click Find now.

    d. right-click on the deleted item.dbx file and then click Rename.

    e. type deleted item.dbxold, and then click ok.

    f. launch Outlook Express. This creates new files. Try to delete e-mails and check.

    Note: You can try to create a new folder and move all messages from the Inbox, and delete items before you rename files.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Outlook express - cannot delete an email

    original title: Outlook express problems

    I got an e-mail I couldn't remove, so she ignored for several weeks. Now, I can not outlook express open same 6. It says its already launched in another instance, even though I just started computer. Windows xp

    [Moved]

    Start the Task Manager and see it there is an instance of the OE running. If so, complete the process.
     
    Assuming that doesn't work, try deleting Folders.dbx and see the OE opens.
     
    Folders.dbx is probably damaged.
     
    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.
     
    The path to the message will be very similar to this:
     
    C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express
     
    With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    Note these possible side effects:
     
    When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.
     
     
     
    If you get in, uncheck the preview pane and work offline. Do a shift/delete and see if the corrupted message disappears.
  • How can I find more options pop up layout?

    I recently bought access to Dreamweaver, and I can't find how to add options to the pop-up page layout.   When I click file - new - I have only two options.   YouTube has about 15 years and more.   How can I get these other options please?

    I also not on YouTube there is a link at the bottom of this window pop up add, that does not appear on my page.

    The UI in Dreamweaver CC and later has been simplified. Thus, you will have access to 3 different options to create a blank page

    • None
    • 2 columns fixed
    • 3 columns fixed

    Using one of the above options is a good start in creating a fixed-width page. However, modern design handles more than the size of a screen, requiring the creation of a responsive design, it is a design that meets the customer screen size. One of these frameworks can be found in Dreamweaver and is called fluid Grid Layout. There are other available frameworks called Bootstrap and Foundation.

  • How can I change the font size on my tab headings and bookmarks menu? The fonts have inexplicably increased in size and I can't find an option to change them.

    Without any evident input from any of the users on my PC, the police in my topics tab, field toolbar and bookmark URL has increased. I can't find any options to make them smaller. I changed the font for my content page and main menu but I'm stuck with large large fonts out of proportion to the securities tab, toolbar field and bookmarks URLs.

  • I can't find an option to send a web link directly to my wallpaper as a 'shortcut '.

    I can't find any option (in the 'File' tab), to send a link to my wallpaper directly. On IE in the drop down menu 'File' tab, it has an option to 'Send' as an email, OR 'Send' on your desktop as a shortcut... Mozilla doesn't have this option. I do not understand why you do not have this simple option? The pull down menu 'File' in Mozilla only allows you to send the link in an email. I always copy and paste a link between Mozilla and my Internet Explorer browser to be able to send a link as a shortcut to my paper painted.

  • I can't delete the emails of one of my Outlook Express email accounts.

    Outlook Express for email
     
    Hi all. I am running Microsoft Windows XP on my computer. I use Outlook Express for e-mail. Currently, I'm unable to delete the emails of one of my Outlook Express email accounts. Everyone knows about this problem? All proposed solutions?

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox 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.
