• How can I keep my Compatct Messages frequently opening in Outlook Express?

  Every 15 minutes or so when you are working in Outlook Express, the compact Messages BOX is displayed even if I just compacted messages just 15 minutes earlier.   I changed the COMPACT COUNTY of CHECK in the REGISTRY to ZERO '0' repeatedly... (à partir de lettre étrange numéros combos à deles de nombres élevés) - but when I check on this area after the opening of Outlook Express)... the number has risin to some etc random number well beyond the opening of ONE of Outlook Express.

  My other two computers using the same configuration with XP - Outlook Express do not exhibit this problem. All three computers have the SP 3 update.

  Windows Search is installed on this machine? If so, you must tell Windows Search to stop indexing OE.

  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.

  You probably have too much in your Inbox.

  1. Move messages that you see in the user created folders.
  2. OE backup.
  3. Close and open OE.
  4. 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:

  6: Uncheck work offline and make a manual send/receive.

  What now? If you still have questions, after return before doing anything else.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

• Setting IE/Live Hotmail as default mail client, so it responds to a click on a mailto link: link and not Outlook Express

  It is actually in two parts/problems; Maybe (probably) closely related.
  ... And it's weird because it used to work (weird especially when it comes to problem no. 1 b).

  Problem # 1
  When I click on an e-mail address embedded (a mailto link :) in some (.doc .rtf, .html, etc.) I opened, I want to have the system open IE, connect me to my Windows Live Hotmail (http://mail.live.com/...) account and open the new page/screen e-mail message.) He used to do this. I have somehow messed up things upwards; How I know not (duh). Instead, it will now fire a new Message Outlook Express 6.0 dialog box.

  (1) I'm under Win XP Pro SP3 with all the critical updates installed.

  (2) I have a hotmail.com account and the system has my saved credentials.

  (3) I have Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Mail is installed.

  (4) I have Windows Live Messenger is set up (under the menu item Tools/Options/Connection tab) with:
  a. "automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I connect Windows' checked
  b. "'Main window open Windows Live Messenger to Windows Live Messenger startup' UNchecked '.
  c. "automatically open a session when connected to the Internet" checked

  (5) I have Windows Live Mail set up (the tab Tools/Options/connections point menu - sign in to Windows Live services section) to "Stop signing In" - i.e. the "Sign In" button is enabled and the 'Stop Signing In' button is disabled (because it is already selected)

  This configuration (4 & 5) is so when I right click on the Windows Live Messenger icon in the system Notification bar and select 'Mail box' in the menu contextual, Messenger opens IE to my Hotmail Live (http://mail.live.com/...) account, sign me and puts me in my Inbox as opposed to the opening of the Live Mail client. No problem, it's what I want. The only time where I use the client Live Mail is when I have to compose an e-mail with pictures incorporated into the body of the message (which is rare), and then I manually start it (Live Mail). This can be done using IE/Live Hotmail; I can only attach photos there, not incorporated the. That's how my system was config support when you click on a mailto link: link would open up IE/Live Hotmail and not Outlook Express.

  In addition,
     
  (6) I have:
  a. under the radio button "Use my current e-mail program" Set Program Access and Defaults/Custom is selected and have the box "enable access to this program" UNchecked for Outlook Express (I also tried uncheck the 'enable...) "for Windows Live Mail - no change.

  I then tried...
  (b) in "Add/Remove Windows components" untick the Outlook Express check box. I then let XP run installation and rebooted.

  The reason why I did 6 b is to see what tracks if Outlook Express is not installed.
  Now, where is start to get weird and brings me to...

  Problem no. 1 b
  Outlook Express 6.0 (OE6.0) be uninstall under XP Pro/SP3 and if so, how?

  After step 6 b restarts, I open a file with a link to e-mail built in, clicked on it and now it opens nevertheless OE6.0
  So I open Win Explorer and of course the folder as c:\programs\outlook Express is still there and complete with all files .dll, .exe, etc..
  Now I'm really scratching my head! I know I said XP installation does not install Outlook Express.

  So now I decide to play with fire...
  I open the upward Task Manager to see which runs when the new Message of OE6.0 dialog box is in place (this is msimn.exe)
  So just to smile and laugh, I msimn.exe and rename it to Xmsimn.exe, go back in the file with the link, click on it and what's going on, you guessed it, OE6.0 is running! I switch back to Win Explorer, and the renamed file is still there, but now IS msimn.exe BAAAACK!
   
  Now, here's where it comes down right spoooooky. I created a new folder in C:\Programs\Outlook Express, all of the files selected in the C:\Programs\Outlook Express and drop them in the new folder. And then looking at the contents of the Outlook Express folder in the right pane (which is now empty other than the new folder), one by one, all the files OE re - APPEAR in the OE folder.
  WHAT IS PAST WITH IT!

  All the files that I moved to the new folder are still there, including the renowned Xmsimn.exe.
  It is as if the system will not let you remove the OE components and withdrew them a .cab file, somewhere, even if I said do not install Outlook Express!

  Now, this problem is really secondary to # 1 has. I don't really need the answer, he just freaks me the system is something like this and I would like to know how and why of it. I use any OE 6.0, it's just take disk space.
  (I even uninstalled my installation of MS Office Outlook)

  And I don't like how # 1a is resolved. I am quite able to pull the top of RegEdt32 or what is needed to fix it (after backup the registry and/or a restore point first, of course.)

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,
  Paul

  Well, I found the answer to problem # 1 to myself.
  Somehow the IE Tools/Internet Options/programs Internet/tab setting programs section e-mail field has NOT been defined. It was empty.
  I put it to "Windows Live Hotmail" and BINGO! Click on an embedded mailto: link and pops up a new IE window connected to my Hotmail account, open electronic 'Composer the Message' page with the To: field with the link I clicked on.

  Now if only one of you gurus out there can answer problem # 1 b (can Outlook Express 6.0 (OE6.0) be uninstall under XP Pro/SP3 and if so, how? -see my OP) I'll be in sleep with nightmares of moved files reappear magically in an empty folder!

• When I try to open my outlook express the Internet Properties box appears and I can't use the emails

  I have an ISP... 'A seniors' and I'm able to go online and surf the internet, but several days ago, my ability to use the e-mails ended when instead of opening email program when I clicked on the send icon PROPERTIES INTERNET box appeared on the screen which has not offered no solution to the problem of my inability to access Outlook Express.

  See www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx , you can also go to start run and copy and paste to start OE:

  "C:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe".

  Copy with quotes and paste it in start | Run and it should start OE.  Then you can also go to tools | Options in OE and set it default here.

• Why have I not Outlook Express wanting to compress files?

  I can't find Outlook Express in my Add / Remove programs as I believe that I deleted it from my computer because of conflicts with Outlook 2003. Lately, I have a pop up message saying that Outlook Express can compress the files.  How to remove or delete it from my computer because I don't have Outlook Express on my count.  It's a Sony XP with all the latest updates etc.

  Outlook Express would never vanish "because of conflicts with Outlook." These two programs have nothing in common, and we don't even know the other exists. Your question should be posted on a forum for Outlook Express: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/networking-windows_xp?page=1

• Outlook express does not open links on web pages e-mail

  Is no longer, I can click on a link of e-mail on any web page and that my outlook express open (6) upwards to compose new e-mail messages. Does not open upward.  Copy and paste is a poor solution band-aid if e-mail link name is different e-mail real address (often).
  I think that an update of firefox (firefox8) may have disabled this... only guess. Hyperlinks to other web page still work. Just impossible to open link in email that opens my outlook express 6 to create new message and puts in e-mail address in the 'To' line up.

• I have Outlook Express e-mail Icon stick on opening and does not end is there too much mail, how can I fix it?

  When you click the icon to open my Outlook Express icon (envelope) sticks on the screen of the monitor and does not open. Is there a way to get into the program to remove at least half or the whole of all the e-mail. It was not opening now for several days if I'm afraid it's risk of stuck with e-mail. I have been looking for a job online and get a ton of e-mail. I can get through the control panel and I think I saw the problem, but I don't know how to remove it. Help!

  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.

• E-mail-Outlook Express does not open.

  Don't know if I'm in the right place to ask this question. When I try to open my Outlook Express I get a box that reads, "Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE." DLL could not be initialized. "Outlook Express from my is not installed correctly.    He told me to contact Microsoft support. It worked fine yesterday until I clicked on a box to leave my files be compacted. Since then, I have not been able to open Outlook. I tried to restore my computer to 4 different dates, but he tells me that it is not able to restore to previous dates. I'm not a computer genius, so any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  Which is good news for beginners.

  Normally, restore bak files are a little easier, but since you had to create a new identity, you must import them manually.

  Open the trash and all the bak files, you must drag the desktop.  Do not use the option restore.

  Follow the instructions here.

  How to restore individual dbx files
  http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

  You will need to rename them, and create the corresponding files in OE to their housing. It is not difficult, but read carefully and just do one at a time.

  If you do not understand the instructions, post back before trying. You can drag an additional bak file on the desktop that you need not just to a series of tests.

• Outlook express 6.0 size limit of 2 GB can not open

  Hello, can anyone suggest a way I can open my outlook express 6.0 file Inbox that got compacted and now can not be imported in OE6 due to its size, if I could open it somehow I could then delete unwanted emails etc and then distribute the others in different subfolders so the inbow reached never this size again (which was approximately 5600 emails) , I want a free way to do this and am very disappointed that microsoft cant help me once reach the limit of the CAP? who would have thought that? I found a 3rd party software program (stellar phoenix outlook recovery) who can open it and I see that they ae here but it's a demo and I can't access or delete without registering. I think it of ridiculous and feel microsoft should provide a method without me palming off to third-party sites for a problem that their system has actually created... can anyone offer some constructive advise please?

  @Vyktor:

  I have a free solution below, but you will lose all your messages saved in sent items. If you don't want to lose them, then you must rename the Sent Items.dbx Envoy Itemsold.dbx instead of delete it and then buy the software.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox, and then create new folders to Outbox and sent items.

  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 DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  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.

  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7 , you probably need to remove folders.dbx and OE should start.  After making a backup of your messages and if there is corruption still it would be advisable to go to the file. Identities and together a new identity and then when that works very well, go to file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

  Hello, in

  This can be caused if the Outlook Express message store file is corrupted. I suggest that you rename the file and restart the computer to re-create the file.

  a. Click Start, go to my computer.

  b. navigate through locations

  C:\Windows\Application Data\Outlook Express\ {GUID}

  Or

  C:\Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {GUID} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

  c. right-click on the Folders.dbx file and then click Rename (copy and save this file to another location, in case of failure, you need to replace the original file.)

  d. type folders.old.

  e. launch Outlook Express. This creates a new Folders.dbx file.

  Thank you
