It is possible. Start by checking the Recycle Bin of Windows for BAK files for the records that you are missing. If you find, note the date of creation. Then check the storage folder of OE for BAK and DBX files for the missing files. If you find files, please post back before doing anything.

  • I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent. What can I do?

    I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent.  What can I do?

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    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.

    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. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

  • Someone accidentally uninstalled my Outlook express and now I want to reinstall it how?

    Just can't find out how to reinstall my Outlook express

    Go to control panel | Add/Remove programs. Add/Remove Windows components. Make sure Outlook Express is checked.

    Still nothing on the desktop? Copy this:

    c:\Program files\outlook express\msimn.exe

    Start | Run and paste it in. Ok.

    Now go to control panel | Set access to programs and settings by default and OE set as default and then you should have the shortcut.

  • Open Outlook Express, I find that all my files were deleted. Found in the trash, but can not import them. They sit in a folder as .bak files. How do I reinstate them?

    Tried import - does not work.   Tried to copy and paste - does not work.

    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.

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    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.

    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. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • Have questions about overall upward of Outlook Express.

    I reason that, unlike Hotmail/Yahoo, etc., Outlook Express needs a Hotmail/Yahoo e-mail account must be configured before can connect you to Outlook Express?

    An 'Outlook Express' e-mail account can be created with the outlook.com extension or the mail program is to 'Add' existing e-mail accounts?

    Given that e-mail programs have their own Web sites (Hotmail/Yahoo, etc.), why use someone

    Outlook Express to connect to their e-mail instead of going "directly" on the site

    "Unlimited" email accounts "customizable" with Outlook?

    It seems just silly to 'configure' email accounts when it is easier to just 'go' on the site directly. Am I missing something?

    Original title: Outlook Express

    As I said that outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail, which, in turn, has been replaced by Windows Live Mail.

    Customer e-mail are subject to development cycles just like Windows and all the other products are (as in general manufactured goods). Companies must engage in R & D and produce new and better products, or else someone else will be and take their market to them and put them out of business.

    Personally, I use an e-mail client whenever I can (Outlook - which is not Outlook Express) and use the webmail for the time where I'm not to my PC but need to see my emails. Use of one does not preclude the use of the other.

  • When you try to copy messages from Outlook Express to Live Mail, all of the .dbx except folders.dbx files copy OK. My new PC cannot read the disc to import messages (probably because that folders.dbx is missing?)

    I followed the contours of Ms. webesite steps to transfer my OE messages to my new LiveMail on my new PC. Instructions to mention to make sure that when you copy the message on a CD for transfer files to new PC that they must include the file "folders.dbx".  All my files message correctly copy except "folders.dbx".

    I guess that's why the new PC says there are no messages on the CD to be imported from (although I see that all of the .dbx files).

    Why is that I am having a problem copying "folders.dbx" and this is my problem in terms of imports?

    Create a new identity in OE and import the messages. This new storage location to transfer it to WLMail. It will be all new dbx files so no corruption should be gone.
