  Cannot delete messages on my Outlook Express Inbox

  You have corruption of dbx files.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox, if you can 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.

  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:

  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.

• I can not delete messages in Outlook Express 6.0

  Everything worked fine until I started my 'sent box' deletion. There where a lot of messages in there and I was remove from groups of 10 people or more. Some of them had more away in each group. I came to one who has had multiple (I had sent photos). It's where he hung up.

  I moved what I wanted to keep and have used Items.dbx, inbox.dbx, Outbox.dbx, sent, and Deleted Items.dbx, etc..

  All the these are empty now and are in the trash, but still I can't delete messages. I can move their correct. I can receive and send okay

  One who had the photos, I recovered and put in its own box again. I used the .dbx to delete again as well but still does not work

  OE closed when you removed the dbx files? It must be.

• Help! -I can't delete messages in my Inbox in Outlook Express 6

  Hello.
  I can't delete messages in my Inbox in Outlook Express 6. An idea

  1. move all the messages that you want to keep out of the folders Inbox, sent items and deleted items and in other local OE folders have created you for archiving (backup) of such messages.

  2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

  2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

  3. close OE.

  4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & delete the files Inbox.dbx, Outbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbx.

  5 empty the trash.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

  N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

  -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

  -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More on http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

  -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

  -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

  Very strange, usually if there is no "Basket" file, when you restart Thunderbird, it should create a new.

  Try this:
  Open your profile folder.
  Close Thunderbird.

  In "Mail" / "pop.ziggo.nl " - where do you see your files as files.
  Right-click in the empty space and select 'New' > 'text Document '.
  A file called 'New document texte.txt', a 'text Document' will appear.
  Rename this "basket", with a capital T and without extension.
  It will tell if you change a filename extension, the file may become unusable, are you sure you want to change it? Click Yes.

  Close the window and restart Thunderbird.

  Now, try to delete an e-mail message.

  You will need to probably connect to the webmail of your email provider and do it from there. If you get your e-mail through your ISP (Comcast, AT & T etc.), then go to their website and log on to webmail. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Windows Mail - can't delete messages

  I've upgraded to WIndows 7 but you need to go back to Vista to save some key files. When I went back to Vista, I found that I can't delete messages from Windows Mail in my Inbox, sent items and my Outbox. My Outbox sends constant messages not deleted (I remved the addresses between no sent items to prevent their shipment amultiple times). Error messasges include:
  * "An unknown error has occurred."
  * "This message could not be deleted.
  * At the start of Windows Mail, this message appears "a few errors have occurred while proecessing tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details". However, it is not all the details listed.

  I tried to install the update KB941090, but I get a message that it is not applicable to my version of Windows.

  I have Service Pack 1 installed and have tried to install Service Pack 2 for Vista, but it will not be installed.

  My Windows product ID is 89580-OEM-7332132-00182

• I can't delete messages on my blackberry blackBerry smart phones.

  I can't delete messages on my blackberry. Instead, they are marked with a yellow star as a priority. How to solve this?

  Open your Messages folder.  Select the date at the top with your trackpad, and then press the menu key.  Select Delete before and click Ok.  Once you have done this, your messages may still be there.  Remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it a few seconds later.  Open your Messages folder once more and see if your rogue messages are still there.

  Let us know if that helps you.
