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 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.

  • 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.

    Follow these steps only if no one else is using this Outlook Express identity.

    1: in OE: tools | Accounts | Delete the account.

    2: delete all messages in the OE files and empty the deleted items folder.

    3: remove all the dbx files in the message of store with OE closed. When it is open, new, and create empty dbx files.

    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 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.

    Close OE store folder and open Outlook Express. Select all the dbx files and delete them.

    All of you who have the same cause.  Something is screwed up with your address book.

    It could be several specific problems, which include:
    -corrupted WAB file
    -damaged or incompatible DLL files for the addressbook
    -have OE set to use the Outlook98 / 2000 + contacts instead of the WAB

  • I can't delete messages on my outlook express system... should I download a new system?

    My express system outlook does not delete messages, so I am faced with a large generation to the top of messages, spam etc, do I have to download another system?

    Your deleted items folder is corrupted.  Delete the file deleted items.dbx (hidden) with OE closed and OE will create a new uncorrupted.

    Open Windows Explorer or on the control panel.
    Go to tools | Folder options | Types of files.
    Scroll to [NONE] URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol (NOT the shortcut URL: Internet) and select it.
    Click Edit or advanced, depending on your version of Windows.
    Choose 'open '.
    Click on change.

    "Application used to perform action" should read:

    "C:\PROGRAM may EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" - nohome (check the path to)
    Iexplore.exe to ensure that it is correct and use the double quotes).

  • I can't delete emails from outlook express, pop box says up point cannot be deleted

    I have a lot of emails and Outlook express will not let me delete one of them. A box appears and tells the message cannot be deleted?

    Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.

    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 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.

    With OE closed, find the DBX file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    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:

    In tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in the background box and let it unchecked. {N/a if running XP/SP2}.
