• 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 to remove the Inbox of emails in Outlook Express after Windows Live?

  I get the persistent messages to compact my emails.  I noticed that 2007 emails are be compacted.

  I went from Outlook Express to Windows Live a few years ago and thought I had disconnected from Outlook Express.  Obviously not.  I think that each email in Windows Live, I got also went to the Outlook Express Inbox.  I was able to remove all the "sent", "draft", emails, but was denied access to the Outlook Express Inbox.  Therin find hundreds of emails.   I want to stay with Windows Live, but I sure I want to delete 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 email in my Outlook Inbox.  What should I do?

  Thank you for helping.  I'm not too savvy computer.

  I don't understand why you would be denied access to the Inbox, but that following and you will end up with an Inbox again and empty.

  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 box of Inbox.dbx and delete it.  A new Inbox will be created automatically when you open OE.

  In tools | Accounts, either delete the account or the email account | Properties | The general tab, uncheck the box: "include this account...". ', to prevent new messages to download.

• XP Outlook Express in Windows Vista Mail

  Why should it be a major act just to access your messages moved from one computer to another?  As a technician, is why people ask me why they should stay with Microsoft?  Why can not do just a simple conveter since you can't import the indentities in Windows Mail?  Direct would be real simple.

  It is not Microsoft.

• After compaction all my emails in Outlook Express 8 I am able to receive more emails, but how can I recover lose them emails?

  original title: IE * compaction

  After compaction in OE8 I lost all emails from the Inbox since August 2010 to present.  I can now receive incoming e-mails, but is it possible to recover my lost mails?  If so, how?  Thank you.

  There is no such thing as OE8 or IE compaction, but I think that's what you ask

  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? :

  Why mail disappears:
  http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
   
  About file Corruption:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

  Recovery methods:

  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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  And backup often.

• I can't receive all my email on outlook express?

  I get all my emails.  Nothing has changed and they are commercial partners that ive had for years.  They can read mine, I can't get Thiers?  What can I do to restart or update, or even to check Outlook?

  I moved your post on the forum that deals with Outlook Express.

  If you do not receive the messages from people, and they tell you that they sent them, there are two places to look.  The first is in your own mailbox.  You must determine if the messages are delivered, but Outlook Express just is not bring or if they are not reach your Inbox mailbox.  The first you can manage; the second is out of your control (but not, perhaps, independent of the will of the people, sending to you).

  If you use Outlook Express, you use a POP or IMAP account, since that's all what Outlook Express can handle.  The account type is probably POP.  If Outlook Express is not access your messages, then it is likely, they are not in the Inbox folder on the server side.  To check, log in your Inbox mailbox using a web browser.  Your mail service provider will be instructions to do this.  Examine the Inbox on the server.  If messages do not exist, Outlook Express cannot download them.  Many servers have a folder 'Spam' or 'Junk mail' in which they will place questionable messages.  Look in this folder to see if the messages that you think you should have gotten are there.  If you find them, move them to the Inbox on the server and the white list the addresses of your shippers on the server so that it will never divert these shippers again.  Suppliers of Help included pages have directions for that, too.

  If you do not see the messages that you receive, then your mailers must do some research because their messages do not reach your Inbox mailbox at all.  It's nothing, you can address; they will have to do.  Ask them if they receive non-delivery reports when they send you messages and know what these non-delivery reports.  If they get no notice of non-delivery has failed, they will have to register their providers of messaging services to help track down where the delivery will fail.

• How to open emails from Outlook Express on Windows 7?

  Burning of emails on CD using my old Windows XP computer. Outlook Express. These had. EML file extension. Now using "Windows Live mail" for email. I can open any email received with. EML extension, but can't open the emails on the disk. EML extension.

  Completely stumped!

  Hi Ron Palmer,

  First I have to say that this has nothing to do with Toshiba, it s related to Microsoft. In addition, I recommend an IMAP e-mail account, where e-mails will be stored on the server too.

  In any case, a friend of me has had the same problem and it could solve it:

  1. go to my computer > click on the C: drive > programs x 86 > Windows live > Mail
  In this folder, open wlmail.exe.
  After this move should open your emails with the .eml attachment.

  Good luck!

  Hello people.

  1: open OE and slide a .eml recorded you message an OE folder. (Maybe create a new folder in OE to avoid confusion). This message is now open in OE?
   
   
  2: create a file association.

• Cannot open emails from Outlook Express on Windows 7

  Original title: Outlook express on exploere8

  I just bought a new computer which has windows 7 and explorer 8 is installed, my old computor was an outlook express program that has lots of emails stored in it. I don't seem to be able to open these emails outlook express doesn't automatically come with explorer8?

  Outlook Express is an e-mail Client program.  Internet Explorer is a web browser.  They are completely different animals.

  Windows 7 computers lack any e-mail client program (unless the manufacturer of the computer or the seller has installed a). Therefore, you will need to download and install your own choice email client.

  Microsoft to promote Windows Live Mail, the free successor to Outlook Express.  You can download the program ofhttp://download.live.com.   WLMail belongs to the series of programs, Windows Live, which includes Windows Live Messenger, etc.. However, you just install the items you need.

  At present, there are two versions of WLMail available for download.  The latest stable version of the suite of programs live was "Wave 3"(version number 14.0.8117.0416).  However, you also have the option to install the version 'Wave 4' of the various programs.  I have no experience of the Wave 4 programs (which are beta (or test) releases), so cannot advise.

  Once you have installed WLMail, you will need to copy the messages from your old computer to Win XP files in a directory on your new Windows 7 computer.  Then, you will be able to open WLMail and click on file / import - import messages and other data.  With the version of Wave 3, the menu bar (which provides the file / edit / view / go / tools / Actions & help commands) is hidden by default.  To display the menu bar on an ad hoc basis, press Ctrl. To display the menu bar, click Alt and M together. Then, press M (or select "Show menu bar").

  You will find further instructions to the http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/importing-your-e-mail-contacts-and-calendar-into-windows-live-mail. However, a Google search led me to www.pcdon.com/080113OutlookExpress-WindowsLiveMail.html, which you can find easier to understand.
