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.

If you make the file Inbox.dbx Read Only, OE does not open yet. Perhaps it is another thing to try.
 
In 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 box of Inbox.dbx. Right-click | Properties and check the read-only attribute.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Outlook Express: How to remove attachments in an Email received without changing anything else

    Hi Bruce et al.,.

    By "anything" I mean the date of the email such as Outlook Express.

    The problem that I am overcoming makes my huge Message Store because of a few emails I get with huge attachments.

    I can save attachments on my hard drive, but I still want to save email for reference.

    In the past, I have created a response to the email, which is not fix the fastener, but have not sent. I keep the 'response' and delete the original e-mail. It's messy, but it works.

    I looked for a solution and fall on this one. I would like to know if there is a better and safer way.

    What I do is drag the e-mail on my desk and correct it in "Notepad ++» I remove what looks like an attachment that appears to be encoded in base64.

    For example, I remove from here:

    -0016364eef3a6cb259049c527692

    Content-Type: application/pdf; name = '.pdf '.
    Content-Disposition: attachment;
    "filename ='.pdf '.
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    X fixing-Id: f_gk6v23of0

    JVBERi0xLjYNJeLjz9MNCjI0MTMgMCBvYmogPDwvTGluZWFyaXplZCAxL0wgOTYyNjM4OS9PIDI0
    MTYvRSAyMTY5MjkvTiA0NTkvVCA5NTc4MDgwL0ggWyA3MDE2IDE3OTMwXT4 + DWVuZG9iag0gICAg...

    here:

    MDAwIG4NCjAwMDk1NzQwMTIgMDAwMDAgbg0KMDAwOTU3NDEyMCAwMDAwMCBuDQowMDA5NTc3ODI1
    IDAwMDAwIG4NCnRyYWlsZXINCjw8L1NpemUgMjQxMz4 + DQpzdGFydHhyZWYNCjExNg0KJSVFT0YN
    CG IS
    -0016364eef3a6cb259049c527692-

    The two identical lines "- 0016364eef3a6cb259049c527692 -" seem to define the attachment, and when the file is saved and dragged in my OE Inbox, it looks and reads the same, same dates etc, but with no commitment and no apparent problems with OE to open it.

    Is there a better way?

    Thanks as usual for any help you can give.

    Roger.

    I don't think that your question is so bad. In theory, each dbx file has a maximum capacity of 2 GB. In reality, they probably become corrupted long before that. Normally, I propose now about dbx files a 300 MB max to err on the side of caution. 0.25 GB = 250 MB, (kinda, sorta, close enough), so it's not a problem.

    You need to be most concerned with is backup OE on a regular basis. Here's my standard advice for OE. Last mentioned is OEQB backup tool that is invaluable, still free.

    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.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

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

    And backup often.

  • can I send emails bulk from outlook express of thousands

    What is outlook express can send emails bulk

    Lol you would need a mailing for this program.  I think that OE has a limit on the number of addresses you can send at once.

    See if your ISP can recommend you something, because they would have to allow that kind of dissemination through their server anyway to reduce spam.

    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:

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.

    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 files of user OE (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 file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
