I've lost the ability to remove the messages from Outlook Express

I lost the ability to delete messages from Outlook Express shipped with Windows XP. Does anyone know how to fix this please?

You have corruption of dbx files.
 
Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close 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 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.
 
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:

  • I imported the messages from Outlook Express 6 to Windows Mail, but the messages do not appear in the storage folder. What I am doing wrong?

    I see the process of imported messages. He created and "Imported folder", but there is nothing in it.

    See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm there are specific directions he with a lot of hoops to make it work, because it is very buggy.  Also, make sure that the folder that you tried to import does have messages inside (you can open the file with Notepad dbx and looking for something readable or zip it and if it zips down to nothing, so full of nothing).

    You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

  • during the transition from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, is the address book data stored and also the info in files

    I'm afraid that if I upgrade the form Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, I will lose all e-mail addresses in my address book current as well as the information contained in the files - models etc.

    If you install WLMail on your XP machine, it has to import messages and addresses automatically and nothing will be lost of OE.
     
    If you like WLMail better than OE, you are a person better than I am.
     
    For specific questions from WLMail, ask here.
     
     
    PS It has nothing to do with Hotmail. I don't know where Christophe that came out of your post.

  • How to stop the attachments also insert into the message in Outlook Express

    Recently my outgoing attachments (files or pictures) in Outlook Express started also be inserted after the message. How can I stop this?

    You don't need to fix anything. That's how OE has always worked. Here are copies that show after the text box. If you read messages in plain text, you will not see them. As long as beneficiaries go, you can change how they view their mail.
  • 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.

  • Can someone help me with the message of outlook express error 0x800CCC0D. I can't receive emails

    I get the following error message: the host 'pop.ipa.net' is not found. Please check that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: * address email is removed from the privacy * Mail account ', server: 'pop.ipa.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 11001, error number: 0x800CCC0D.  I believe I have the correct information, but still cannot receive e-mail.

    Its possible your Inbox is corrupt.  Move all messages out of it to another folder created by the user.  Then close OE and delete the inbox.dbx file (hidden).  Then at the start of OE will create a new.  See if that fixes it.

    If so, it's a good time to save your messages.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

    ·         What operating system is installed on the computer?

    Method 1: Follow the steps and check if that helps:

    (a) first of all you need a video cable to make the physical connection. For a better image quality, you must connect to the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via DVI to HDMI cable provided your TV supports these ports.

    (b) open the "display settings" in your computer and activate the output to the TV screen. You can reflect the content of your computer on the TV or extend the display as a double screen control.

    (c) pick up your TV remote and switch to "External inputs" in the menu. You need to change the value by default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "video 2" depending on how you made the connection. "

    Important: Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer, because sometimes it may not recognize the external display.

    You may also change the resolution of your TV screen using the display settings in your panel of control remains the image may appear distorted.
