  I lost my files in my outlook express Inbox. How can I get back them?

  The email you see in sent items. Is - this mail you thought you deleted a long time ago? If so, it almost sounds like you had an old identity.

  File | Identities | Manage identities. Is there more than one list? If Yes, go to the other identity. If not, read on...

  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.

  Recovery tools:

  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:

  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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  And backup often.

  Computer crashed and a computer store restored our operating system. However, I can't find my address book Outlook Express or Outlook Express folders. Please help me.

  Kewl! Did you find a folder named Outlook Express which had a number of inside DBX files? And there a file called Folders.dbx? If so, that's fine.
   
  Write on the way and in the new identity of OE: file | Import | Messages. Select Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and then point to the folder that you have found.

• The problem of creating an extra address in Outlook Express.

  I have a problem, create an additional address in Outlook Express. This question arises because my ISP has recently changed from Tiscali to Talktalk. I find that I have to use the old tiscali for outgoing mail smtp server, but I can't receive mail if I use the server talktalk or tiscali. Any advice?

  Discuss with the technical support of Talktalk. The problem would be the same if you use Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, etc and is not a matter of OE. They don't did you not the correct settings. Ask to speak to a technician level 2 If you do not get satisfaction.

• lost/deleted a folder in outlook express

  I lost/deleted a folder in outlook express and do not know how to get it back, I have a lequipetv.fr email accounrt if it's important. I have windows vista ultimate 2007 service pack 2

  Look in the list of folders and make sure that the folder is not listed under the deleted items folder (you can move it if it is).  If you simply delete a file, this is what usually happens.

  If it is not listed under the deleted items folder, you can also check the message store (Tools |) Options | Maintenance | Folder for the storage location) to see if the file is still there as a dbx file (hidden).  Also check him Recycle Bin and the message save a file bak with the name of the folder since it is a backup which you can restore (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2).

  Finally, if it is really gone and there is no dbx or bak file, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) has an excerpt from disc feature that will scan the hard drive for messages and if they are still on the disk, it will recover them.

• After removing Office 2010 Trial, I lost my address book Outlook Express and cannot open emails.

  I installed a free trial of office 2010, but he did not understand the editor which was what I wanted.   I uninstalled it now I lost my address book in outlook express and can't open saved emails.

  I can't find my software or backup and think that I lost when I moved.

  Lynn

  Yes, you will need to reinstall Office 2000. When you installed Office 2010 trial, he removed Office 2000. Once you get the cd, reinstall Office and should be back up and running.

  I can't offer any assistance with address number address Outlook Express however.

  Thank you...
