I can't open outlook express

When I click the icon it flashes on then nothing

You probably have a Folders.dbx file corrupted in the OE message store.

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.

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. Restart and try opening OE

  • I get an error (0x800C0133) message when opening outlook express and can not receive emails

    An unknown error has occurred.

    Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.
     
    Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.
     
    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.

    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.
     
    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:

    If you can, open OE and click file | Identities and establish a new identity.  Then see if it works.  If you can not open OE to do this, then move all the dbx files to another directory of their current location.  To reset the message store, which you should be able to open OE then.

  • When I opened outlook express Inbox, all messages have been deleted, please help restore the same

    When I opened outlook express Inbox, all messages have been deleted, please help restore the same

    Go to view | Current view | Show all messages to make sure that you have just selected 'Hide read messages.

    If this does not help, check your Recycle Bin, the bak files which are dbx files, you can restore backups.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    If this does not help, then you will probably need my program DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/), which will extract the messages from individual dbx files, and if messages are no longer in the files, it can extract from the disc itself.

    original title: exit express does not open.  What can I do?

  • I get this error message every time I try to open Outlook Express: your server unexpectedly terminated the connection.

    I get this error message whenever I try to open Outlook Express:
    Your server suddenly put an end to the connection. The possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, secure (SSL): Yes, error number: 0x800CCC0F

    How can I solve this?

    original title: Outlook Express error

    Does OE open at all, or you get this error after opening?

    Check your mail at Yahoo.com and see which messages are still on the server that you have not received. The first online can be very large and cannot be downloaded. If you find such a message, read it and delete it online.

    In addition, you must disable 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.

  • Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express email. I hate Windows live mail and want to come back to Outlook Express. I have Windows 7.

    Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express e-mail account.  I downloaded Windows Live Mail and don't like it at all.  I can't understand how to add a new contact.

    You post in a forum of Vista and Outlook Express last used in XP. If you mean Vista Windows Mail, unless you have removed the account, just open the program and use it. You can remove WLMail whenever you want. It is a part of the programs in the window Live Essentials Control Panel uninstall section.

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, beginning 2013) El Capitan 10.11.3, Simple question here: I can't open FinalCut Express (4, I believe). The wheel turns for hours. How can I install/uninstall and will I lose all my old films (for the most part stored on external hard drives). Thanks for your suggestions.

    You will not lose anything, but the app if you uninstall. If you decide to uninstall use this app to make sure that all the other files which depends on FCE are also deleted however I can't give you any assurance as to whether you will be able to reinstall so that it works correctly. It is a software that has not been supported for almost 5 years and there are conflicting reports as to its compatibility with OS X 10.11. Can't I test it myself.

    Maybe someone else will chime in with their own experiences.
