• Email sent using gmail pop, while on outlook express 6 is checked in to the gmail server sent the file, but not on my express outlook sent folder.

  Original title: problem with outlook express 6 and gmail

  Email sent using gmail pop, while on outlook express 6 is checked in to the gmail server sent the file, but not on my express outlook sent folder.  How can I have email sent appear in Outlook express 6 sent folder.  I put it as pop not imap

  Any suggestions?

  Check in OE under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties and ensure that it is not set to IMAP.  It seems to me that if you use IMAP folders.  If it isn't, in addition to the suggestion of Umesh, you can try to go to file | Identities and install a new identity and add your POP3 account and see if it works very well.

• Cannot receive emails through my Outlook Express 6 account all of a sudden. I have 2 computers set up with it, a Windows XP and the other Windows Vista.

  Cannot receive emails through my Outlook Express 6 account all of a sudden.  I can send messages but not receive. I removed all mail rules and blocked senders and I still cannot receive anything.  I tested it by sending a mail to it through different accounts (gmail, yahoo) so I know that there must be some messages.  I also had people reply to my email that I send to what they do, but I don't get their answers.  I have 2 computers in place, using Windows XP and the other is Windows Vista.  I've never had a problem until now. Any help?

  My server contacted me and told me to check my spam using their webmail account, because it was full.  It seems that when I used the rules of the mail I had clicked on delete from the server, just "do not download".  My spam folder was so full that I couldn't receive. Thanks for all your advice!  Mark as resolved.

• When I do an email upward on outlook express 4, using the method described in Q270670 it backup my spam email. Why?

  Email backup - anti spam files

  When I do an email upward on outlook express 4 by using the method described in Q270670 I found the file was a massive file. On the investigation, I found that the file contained thousands of files for anti-spam (ca. 6 GB). These fact files does not appear in outlook express in the anti-spam file but only appear in the backup download. It is probably an accumulation of messages anti-spam for 6 years.

  Why is this?

  I can't open the dbx files to see what is in them

  Your comments / tips

  According to Bruce, EO4 served in Win95 and Win98.  The steps you describe in this article concern OE6, then maybe that's what you mean.

  There is no 'anti-spam' files in OE, according to Bruce, and so if you have 6 gigabytes, then it is likely those are the dbx files that contain messages.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6 for OE data backup.  If you use some kind of anti-spam with OE program, then see point 3 on this page, contact the anti-spam software provider and ask them to explain it.

• I have an email in my outlook express (BOX SENT) that I can't remove. When I try it freezes the computer. It is an e-mail that I tried to send.

  I have an email in my outlook express (BOX SENT) that I can't remove. When I try it freezes the computer. It was an e-mail I was trying to send

  and it has been sent. Someone knows how to remove it.

  original title: Email in outlook express

  Check for working offline and see if it will delete, or else create a new Outbox and sent items folder.

  Follow these steps for the Outbox, sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create. Just don't touch the problem message so OE will not freeze.

  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 Outbox.dbx and Sent Items.dbx file and remove them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

  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:

• Unable to send movies via e-mail from outlook express

  I use Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8.

  Original title: Microsoft Outlook Express.

  I use Picasa 3 to my photo library. I recently created a CD with accompanying music track. I want to send an email directly from Picasa the completed 'movie'. To date, the recipient receives only the copy of the coverage on the attachment. They are unable to open the movie and play the slide show. I send the photos without problem. Is there something in Outlook Express that inviting me to turn to 'allow' send me a movie that will play on the opening reception?

  Thank you for your help

  You need Adobe Flash to view the videos online like You Tube if that helps. I installed it.

• I need to use another email outside of outlook express, can I remove it?

  When I try to reply to an email in a Web page, he's trying to use outlook express.  I can't use it.  I have att and was created after 11, so I can't configure it with outlook.  I can simply remove outlook express?  He'll be back to att or gmail?  Help is a mess.  Oh yes and I run it on xp but I have a w7 as well.

  You can not remove Outlook Express because it is part of XP. The problem here is that Craigslist wants you to use a mail client and Webmail not. If the use of Gmail is good to you, see if that helps.

  System Restore will not help, and the browser you use is irrelevant.

  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 | 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.

• what I set thunderbird as my default to receive my email here and not in my old outlook express account?

  I do not see my new email here, how does it express Outlook, what I set as my default here?

  Designating a default mail client has no meaning for the reception of messages.

  Most likely your account is a pop POP is usually configured to delete messages from the server. If Outlook get message first, he will be gone from the server so you will not be able to get more in Thunderbird.

  If you want to display messages in two e-mail clients to configure one to leave messages on the server.

  Having said that, what is the point running times, Outlook Express and Thunderbird?

• recover email lost in outlook express 6 upgrade

  my computer automatically upgraded to outlook express 6 and lost all my emails from the old outlook express. any info on how to retrieve them would be great

  It seems that your OE message store can become corrupt and Windows creates a new. McAfee and Norton analysis e-mail used to be the #1 guilty, but no analysis emails can cause these days.

  You can be the GROUND if you have never backed up your messages, but we'll see if there is something on your machine, we can come back. Check the following, but do nothing before posting back.

  1: check the trash for the bak files. If they are there, note the date of creation.

  2: Check if you have more than one identity in OE. File | Identities | Manage identities. Is there more than one, or just the one you have now?

  3: select Show files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View. After selecting the button to show hidden files and folders, search, and search for *.dbx

  Post back with the results of these three tasks. If you have no chance, your only chance to possibly retrieve messages is with this tool.

  DBXpress

  You may need to run in the extract from disk Mode if its normal recovery mode fails to find lost messages.
