I can receive and answer emails on outlook express but I am unable to store a contact or add sender to address book.

original title: outlook express

I can receive and answer emails on outlook express but I am unable to store a contact or add sender to address book. I get the error message "an error has occurred. Outlook Express could not add the sender to the address book"

Office has not OE and Outlook.  Are you sure you are using OE and not Outlook?

The default location of the address book (wab file) is C:\Documents and Settings\ [username] \Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\username.wab

The location is hidden, so you must go to control panel | Folder options | Discovers and check the box to include the display of the hidden files and folders and uncheck the option to hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know.  Then see if you can browse to the location of the wab file and find him then.

  • Cannot send emails via outlook express, but can receive

    can't send emails via outlook express but can receive.

    Get following error message

    The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. "The sender's e-mail address was..., Server:...', Protocol: SMTP, server response: ' 451 4.3.2 Please try again later ', Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 451, error number: 0x800CCC78

    It is only to start.

    My email [email protected] mail.optusnet.com.au Server address

    Took the floor to the supplier (Optusnet) & they say it's a problem to microsoft

    And this is your address which is rejected, correct? This happens if you try to send a message to yourself?

    My money is on a server problem that will clear up on its own, but you can try a few things to eliminate that he's on your side.

    1: Disable the 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

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available.

    2: Create a new sent items and Outbox.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    I have Windows XP.

    really grateful for any advice.

    Concerning

    OE uses IE settings.  Then configure things in IE (margins and others) and it should then apply to the when you print from OE.

    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.

  • Can't send emails via outlook express but can receive. Error message - outlook cannot connect to smtp (0 x 80042109)

    Try to send 2 messages and I cannot remove it from the Outbox to prevent them from sending.

    What is the version of Outlook Express you're using?  , and who is your email provider.

    A few steps to try would be to do a connection test to see if the SMTP server has been configured correctly,

  • I can't delete my email in outlook express 6.

    This problem started a month ago, but he has only done a few emails. Then I downloaded Norton from comcast and my box of deleted messages had emptied himself and now I can't transfer all items in the deleted box.

    Hi Mike,.

    The "Deleted" file is probably corrupted. You will need to get rid of him and to force OE to generate a new.

    Here's how:

    1. from Outlook Express, click Tools > Options > Maintenance and click on the button 'storage folder '.

    2. copy this location. Highlight it and press Ctrl-c.

    3. close Outlook Express.

    4. Click Start, run, paste and click OK.

    5. This will open Windows Explorer in this directory

    6. you will see a. DBX file for each of your Outlook Express files. Delete the file "Deleted Items.dbx"

    7. open Outlook Express and create a new.

    See you soon ~!

  • I can send emails on Outlook Express but I have not received email 5 days

    Please help me? I learned by the folks at Microsoft that my problem is in my mail exchange server settings. They suggested that I ask this question here for not paying additional fees. Any assistance in finding ways to fix the problem would be much appreciated.

    It is possible or likely that the MS person you correspond to got confused between the two as well.

    There might be corruption in the database account in OE that prevents the receipt of messages.  Try to go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  That will make everything fresh and then add your account and see if it works then.  If so, use file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.
