• We clicked on "Compact messages" in Outlook Express and 6 months of messages disappeared! Any ideas as to the why, where they could be, and how they can be recovered?

  We watched in 'Deleted items' and they weren't there.  We also "restored" the bin "recycling" and even did not see them return.

  Hi James,

  Thanks for posting. Please, try the following.

  • Make sure that Outlook Express is not working.
  • Open the Recycle Bin on your Windows desktop .
  • Locate the files ".bak" corresponding to Outlook Express folders that you want to retrieve.
    • The '.bak' file will be named as the folder in Outlook Express.
    • To restore a folder called "Archive", look for "Archive.bak", for example.
  • Click on the file '.bak' with the right button of the mouse.
  • Select restore from the menu.
  • Locate the file in Windows Explorer and open the folder that contains.
  • Drag and drop the file ".dbx" corresponding to the Outlook Express folder, you want to get back to your Office .
  • In the Outlook Express store folder, click the '.bak' file to be retrieved using the right button of the mouse.
  • Select Rename from the menu.
  • Change the file extension ".bak" in ".dbx".
    • If the file was called "Archive.bak", for example, make sure that it is named "Archive.dbx" now.
  • Open Outlook Express.
  • If your emails have been recovered, remove the ".dbx" file you moved to the desktop .

  Also, if you cannot find the files in the above location search your computer *. Bak

  I hope this helps!

• By clicking on "Send & receive" in Outlook Express causes system to freeze and start to restart.

  initial fonts rupture, loss of control of the mouse, the screen goes black, and then begins to restart.

  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.

  Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

  *************************************************

  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.

• When I'm in Firefox how can I access Thunderbird. Explorer has a direct link to Outlook Express.;

  See above

  I guess the assumption is that if you click on a mailto link in the browser, the main objective is to compose and send an email, but after the opening of the entry window, you can open the main program of tools/Mail & Newsgroups or Ctrl-1.
