I can't delete the emails of one of my Outlook Express email accounts.

Outlook Express for email
 
Hi all. I am running Microsoft Windows XP on my computer. I use Outlook Express for e-mail. Currently, I'm unable to delete the emails of one of my Outlook Express email accounts. Everyone knows about this problem? All proposed solutions?

Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox 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:

  • How to import old emails having accidentally deleted the email account?

    I have deleted my thunderbird e-mail account and now cannot access the mails I received. I'm trying to find them on the computer and import them, but don't know how to do. I use thunderbird on windows 8.1. Any help is appreciated!

    If you have deleted the email account, then it is expected that you wouldn't see emails. So there is nothing wrong with this part.

    It is possible to recover a deleted account.

    If you have an IMAP email account you simply re-create the IMAP account as e-mail messages are stored on the server and IMAP e-mail accounts have a remote view directories on the server.

    If you had a Pop e-mail account, e-mail messages are download from the server Inbox for the email account Thunderbird Inbox. By default, they download, and then delete the copy on the server. So now the only copy in your computer. You can set it up so that emails are not deleted from the server. Tools > account settings > server settings for pop mail account Select "Leave messages on the server" click OK

    Note: If you have an account and you want to remove it, but you always want to see e-mail messages, you need to move e-mails in local folders first and then delete the account.

    How to recover a deleted email account.

    This link tells you how to recover the account. But I described the process below.

    First check emails exist make hidden folders and files visible:

    In Thunderbird
    Help > troubleshooting information
    Click on the view file"" button.

    A new window opens to display the your profile folder.
    Click on "Mail".
    Click on the name of pop e-mail account (if it does not exist, then they are gone).
    Note its name and where it is located. In general: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile name\Mail\pop mail account name of the folder.

    This will show you all the folders listed as "files", they don't have any extension. Thus, for example: you will see the Inbox (email containing) and Inbox.msf (indexing file - no email).

    You can open the Inbox folder using Notepad to see the emails.

    Assuming that the account and emails are still there: close the window.

    In Thunderbird: Create a new pop e-mail account by using the same parameters as the one you deleted.
    File > new > account mail Exisitng

    Now to the point the mail account created to use the e-mail account deleted.
    Tools > account settings > server to the newly created pop e-mail account settings.
    lower-right look for "local directory".
    Click on the button "Browse".
    Locate your original pop email account and click Open
    In general it is located here:
    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile folder name\Mail\pop mail account name.

    Click OK

  • How can I delete the emails stuck in my Outbox of Windows 8?

    Hi Zena.

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community. Enjoy the detailed explanation of the issue.

    Are you using a Microsoft or a local account to connect to the computer?

    Method 1: I suggest you run the troubleshooter App from the link and if it helps.

    http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=268423

    Method 2: I suggest that you remove mail, Outlook and Live accounts and re - sync the two. If you use a Microsoft account so it would not be possible to remove it from the Mail app like that defined a default in such a case, you can only delete the second account and Resync. Check if the problem persists.

    Method 3: Check out the link and follow the methods 'update your app' and also 'license app Sync' of the article.

  • BlackBerry 10 cannot delete the email account (unauthenticated) / cannot authenticate the email account with different servers SMTP and IMAP (a gmail)

    After updating the OS on my last night in 10.1.0.4181 Z10 (software) / 4633 (OS), all my accounts set up asked for credentials must be verified. Looks like now that it uses some sort of mechanism of OAuth - worked well for my Gmail accounts with two-factor auth.

    One of my accounts that I have Gmail as IMAP server (using a regular gmail.com account), but another SMTP server, with the address on a different domain. I use Gmail as my email client, basically.

    After the upgrade, I am prompted to authenticate, but at some point, someone on my domain set up Google Apps. Has never been for nothing. I wonder to enter * that * password via Google. I don't, and this is NOT the account that I'm trying to connect. (I want a server with user name [email protected] gmail.com IMAP and SMTP [email protected]).

    So I'm stuck... can not authenticate.

    Even worse: Also, I can not delete the account! Delete option is not available until after you have again authenticated. Because I can not delete the account, I can't try to add it again separately - I get an error indicating that the account is already configured.

    All options except wait for the next update of OS or do a wipe/restore?

    (Wipe/restore is really not an option for me, it takes several hours, and the last time I was forced to restore, I lost a good amount of data that I then had to enter manually in restoring to my old 9790 and then it tapping on my Z10.) Not to take this risk again).

    Try this:

    Open an e-mail account with the same account information and email address, but as a pop account to synchronize the account. Both accounts now appear in a new sub-account. Now you can remove the two accounts together. It worked for me...

  • Delete the message "for free space disk outlook express can compact messages."

    I use a PC with Windows XP SP3. I use Outlook Express to access a mail server via POP3 / SMTP. Several times, I get a message saying "Disk outlook express can compact messages for free space": how to prevent the message from appearing?

    I read the posts in this forum even on users not using only not OE. I use OE, but I want to choose if and when compacting messages...

    Marius

    Prompt compaction is triggered whenever you close OE 100 times.  So if you compact manually, you don't get invited again until you close OE for another 100 times.  Unfortunately there is no way to change this.  Dbx files shall be compacted.  If they are not, they will move on to an enormous size, and then get corrupted, so it is important to pack on a regular basis.
