• I have 3 messages blocked in outlook express I can not delete. Someone said it could be an internal pointer do not know what it is?

  Outlook Express has 3 messages which cannot be removed any suggestions?

  Yes.  This means that the sent items folder is corrupted.  You can move all the messages of the items sent to a user created folder.  Then close OE and delete the file sent items.dbx and OE will create then a new, a void, but you might have other file corruption, so establishing a new identity is a better long-term solution.  Make sure that you back up messages, and file corruption is the prelude to a loss of message, what often happens in complete OE.

• How can I configure Outlook Express to receive messages to different mailboxes (via POP3) but to send messages and responses using a single SMTP account?

  How can I configure Outlook Express to receive messages to different mailboxes (via POP3) but to send messages and responses using only a single SMTP account?

  In other words, I need to download via POP3 messages sent to the * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy * but I want to send messages using Mar SMTP service associated to * address email is removed from the privacy *

  If I get a message like * address email is removed from the privacy * I want to answer as * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Is this possible?

  How can I configure Outlook Express?

  You can do this if the Server SMTP allows you to send from a location that you are not connected via their internet service.  So if you have this permission, go to tools | Accounts | Add mail.  Then under the account of property | You want to set the server for incoming mail to the POP3 account, and then the SMTP protocol for the other account that you use to send servers.  And then indicate whether or not the server requires authentication, and if yes, then you will need to put in the user name and password for the SMTP server it.  Under properties. Advanced to define appropriate ports that may be different from the default value according to e-mail accounts.  You can also check the "leave a copy of messages on the server" for accounts POP3, if you access messages from multiple computers.

  Once you have an account set up, then you can set others upward in the same way, but change the POP3 properties for each while leaving the SMTP ones the same.

  Once you have all that in place, you might want to backup things in case something goes wrong: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

• Cannot send emails via outlook express, but can receive

  can't send emails via outlook express but can receive.

  Get following error message

  The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. "The sender's e-mail address was..., Server:...', Protocol: SMTP, server response: ' 451 4.3.2 Please try again later ', Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 451, error number: 0x800CCC78

  It is only to start.

  My email [email protected] mail.optusnet.com.au Server address

  Took the floor to the supplier (Optusnet) & they say it's a problem to microsoft

  And this is your address which is rejected, correct? This happens if you try to send a message to yourself?

  My money is on a server problem that will clear up on its own, but you can try a few things to eliminate that he's on your side.

  1: Disable the 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. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
  http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

  Note that for many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available.
  

  2: Create a new sent items and Outbox.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  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 DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  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.

  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.

• Outlook Express keeps coming out of the emails in the Outbox even after sending e-mails to friends.

  Outlook Express keeps coming out of the emails in the Outbox even after sending emails to friendsthen continues to send emails over and over again.

  This occurs even after the email was deleated from Outbox. So that the people that I send to obtain email 20 - 30 times instead of only once.

  Can someone help me solve this problem? I have Microsoft XP Professional on my computer.  Thank you.

  A common cause of this is to have your program configured antivirus to analyze the messages, including outgoing mail.  If you can completely uninstall the AV program, and then reinstall it without the analysis feature mail.  If you can't do that, turn off scanning messages.  You will be just as safe.

• Upgrade to Microsoft 2010 and have now lost all my Outlook Express emails!

  Hello

  Yesterday, I upgraded my pc from 2007 to 2010 from microsoft, I had no idea that outlook express is no longer taken in charge & a so don't had not saved anything express before the upgrade.

  I used two Outlook + outlook express to run 2 separate email accounts.  How Outlook works well and moved all my old mails/contacts.  Express however is not found, I can't open it.

  I have installation the other account on the new perspectives, he transferred the emails from the last 30 days, which lie on the mail server, but nothing beyond that, plus all of my files are missing & what is the most important!

  Please help me, I got hundreds of emails that are very important to me and I am in despair that they have all been lost.

  Thank you, Emma

  If you use Windows XP (which I assume you're OE does not work on any latest system) then by installing Office does NOT remove Outlook Express.

  He can't because Outlook Express is part of Internet Explorer, which is part of Windows.

  I think that Outlook has replced just the icon of EO for mail.

  Do a search for msimn.exe

  You should find it in c:\program files\outlook express.

  Then you can add back a shortcut on your desktop.

• I got a partial answer to my question about "how to delete emails from the Inbox in Outlook Express. Can I track my original request with a follow-up of the issue?

  Thank you very much for your answer.
   
  Outlook Express is listed on the Start button.  Following your instructions,.
   
  I clicked on start, Control Panel, Folder Options/view.  Point of view, a list of Options have been posted and some have been checked, including 'display the hidden files and folders '.
   
  I do not know how to find Inbox.dbx.  I still find 41 messages in the Inbox, 78 in the deleted items and 14 in mass mailings.  When I click on "remove" messages, I get a message - "the server is not found. In addition, unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server.
   
  "I uncheck" "include this account" so then, I probably is no longer get emails in Outlook Express.  My hard drive is pathetic looking.  I find a small "Ribbon of pink pie (unused space) and in the rest of the cake shape is 'BLUE'.  I thought that E-mails from Outlook Express can be responsible for my hard drive being so full. After I empty all these junk emails in 2008, I have to know what else I can remove to open more space on my hard drive.
   
  Thank you for your patience and for your help.

  After deleting messages in OE, go to file | Folder | Compact to reduce the size of the folder.  Otherwise removal does not affect the size of a folder.  You should probably go to file | Folder | Compact everything to reduce all sizes of folder in OE.  I would like to make a backup first.

  For more free space on your disk, click Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup.

  It is not best to start a new message when you are tracking on another, because nobody knows what you're referring to when you the previous thread.  I managed to find it well and Bruce said: ' 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 '.

• I can't send email from my outlook express (I can receive them). Anyone know how to fix this?

  I phoned my ISP that says that the problem was not with them, it was probably with the norton anti virus firewall. I called norton and they have made a few tests, including disabling the anti virus software and the problem is still there. Here is the message I get when I try and send an email ' 552: the message exceeds the limit of 200 system and was not sent, Port 25: secure SSL. " No Ox800CCC60 error number. "My blacbkerry will send and receive emails from my work by default email address, but my work email will not send from the PC on outlook express.  I can't talk to my ISP since they are based in England and I am currently working in California, anyone know what the problem is likely to be and how to fix?

  If your ISP is also your email provider, they lie to you or the person to whom you spoke was just ignorant...  The error message is a mistake from their server server-side.  There may be no doubt of that.  It seems to indicate that they do not allow more than 200 messages, but the error is rather ambiguous it is impossible to determine what line the error refers and what period of time the limit extends.

  Moreover, the original forum where you posted was on Outlook, not Outlook Express.  I moved your post to the correct forum.
