I had a problem with Outlook express for about two weeks I canoe delete most messages

I have outlook express do not know which edition, but I have family xp I can't delete most messages for about Patrick weeks could have been the last automatic update, how do I fix this I tried to use a recent patch, and he said: I didn't need it im guessing that I need to cancel the update

It wasn't the update. 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:

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:

  • Problems with Outlook Express 6 in Windows XP

    Dear Sir or Madam:

    My friend has problems with his program of Microsoft Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP computer.

    He has saved all his program of Microsoft Outlook Express 6 e-mail messages.

    There are 2 e-mails corrupt in its Outlook Express 6 Inbox folder; He tried opening and remove these 2 emails corrupted in the Inbox folder, which causes the Outlook Express 6 program stops responding and freeze-up Windows XP. He had to click the end task to close immediately the program Outlook Express 6 is not responding in Windows Task Manager.

    It won't reinstall Windows XP on his computer from scratch.

    Please reply back soon.

    Thank you.

    Same question as above, except the deleted items that is now corrupted. Follow the instructions above, but this time remove Remove Items.dbx with OE closed.

    With all the corruption, you might want to consider a new identity that will give you all the new dbx files and a new registry hive.

    File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

    Using Outlook Express. OS is XP Home with all updates. Most of the e-mails from the last month and this month are no longer visible. New emails do not display but increment the counter of messaging Inbox and set off the musical chime. This should be corrected in order to see the emails currently "hidden"? I will try to check my email using a different machine.

    First: discover | Current view. Make sure Show all Messages is enabled. If this is the case, you are probably pushing OE beyond its limits.

    1: 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.

  • problems with Outlook Express email

    Today, I went to open my email and noticed that recent emails that were in my Inbox disappeared.  I also tried to show the old emails not open and he said: Message has not been downloaded

    Outlook Express has not yet downloaded this message.

    To download the message:

    • Click here.
    • Press space.

    Why is deleting emails and why can't see beyond the unopened emails?

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    Recovery methods:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    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 .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  • Problem with Outlook Express "Message has not been downloaded."

    I'm having a problem with emails and attachments removed once I open and view them.  More specifically, when I opened an e-mail message by using Microsoft Outlook Express 6 with an attachment, I am able to see the file and open the attachment.  However, when I go back to this same email one or two weeks later, I see the following is message "Message has not been downloaded" Outlook Express has not yet downloaded this message. »

    Please let me know what is the cause for this.  I have very important emails that have disappeared.

    In more of Bruce's response, if you lost messages (and it seems you if messages do not appear) and then check your Inbox for a bak file is a backup of the dbx file that you can restore.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and see point 4 on retrieving the messages.  I suspect the problem is due to having interference from antivirus software because it is probably what causes this loss, then see item 3 on this page also, as noted in Bruce.

  • Problems with Outlook Express (address book, mail open, etc.)

    Hi, I have a strange problem with my outlook express. The program opens ok, it synchronize the e-mail with the servers and so on. If you click on an email in the upper part of the window you can see the content below.
    Now, this is my problem, I can not doubleclick on an email to open it, I can't send an email or forward it. I can't open the address book.
    I get different messages, "it was not possible to open the address book, it cannot be installed correctly", "the message could not be opened, an error has occurred", "it was not possible to load the due address book that Outlook Express is not properly configured. Reinstall Outlook Express"and so on.
    I used this software for many years and the problem came from one day to the other. I tried to uninstall/reinstall the program from the Control Panel, I did a repair on XP installation, but it is always the same, is there anyone who has an idea (I know that Outlook Express is and old program, but it works very well for my needs).

    What about Nils

    First, try a new identity and see if that helps.

    You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identity | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

    Create a new Folders.dbx.

    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. A new one will be created when you open OE.
