• I want to delete my Outlook Express 6 program from my computer.

  Original title: Ms.

  I want to delete my Outlook Express 6 program from my computer.  I don't want no more of this program.  I now use XFinity E-mail and Outlook gets in my way when I train to attach attachments and other things.  How to remove Outlook Express 6 program from my computer?

  OE is integrated with XP so you cannot remove it. In the control panel. Add/Remove programs. Add/Remove Windows components, uncheck OE to remove access to it.
   
  Note that if you use Xfinity Webmail, if you try a right click on a file and send to | Recipient of the message, you will get an error message saying: there is no default e-mail program. Webmail is not recognized when you perform this action. You will need to open a new message window, and then attach the file.
   

• I get the error code 2691 code line 3 0 trying to recover items deleted in Outlook Express

  The initial problem is that none of my messages in Outlook Express when I open any folder. My representative Easy Tech told me to try to recover my deleted messages and that's when I got the error message. Easy Tech then the rep told me it was a script error and told me to run Windows updates and that would fix the problem. He did not. Help, please.

  If you can open OE, then go to file | Identities and setup a new identity. This will give you a store own message and a clean settings registry hive.   Then go to file | Import | Messages and import from the old identity.  If it works fine, so beware of interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3) and add your e-mail account to the new identity.  Then make a backup if you don't have it already.

• cannot delete emails outlook Express 6.0

  Cannot delete emails

  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:

  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.

• _ SOLVED SEE Outlook Express accidentally deleted MESSAGE

Think it was a SEESAW situation (if installed and checked, then delete; if it is installed and checked and then install)... I count Messenger checked, thinking that remove could be uninstalled. SURPRISE - he went through the Setup program, without giving me the option to check or back up, now, my Outlook Express is missing. DOESN'T HE DELETED MY E-MAIL FILES OR AR OUT ILS ALWAYS THERRE SOMEWHERE? They are recoverable? Recovery system has been turned off for an unknown period due to the needs of software of antivirus software, so no recovery are availble. Ideas? Or am I out of luck?

  Interesting. Records of identities all show empty. Then I realized - what the devil?  I put the installation disc in drive E and added deleted items in, including Outlook Express. Using exactly the same names and info, OTHER SURPRISE accout, all emails were always there and appeared correctly. And now they are saved. Phew...

• Outlook Express identity Delete

  I'm trying to delete an Outlook Express identity. Remove identity button will not highlight when I try to delete the identity. How can I get the button work? If this function does not work is their way of any other I can delete the identity.

  Hi kwjacq1,

  To delete an identity in Outlook Express, you must have already created secondary identity. In addition, you must also be logged on the second account to be able to remove the main account.
  Try the following:
  1. Of in Outlook Express, open the file menu, point to identities, click manage identities , and then click new.
  2. In the type your name box, type a name for the identity parameter.
  3. Click OK. Click Yes to the pop up to switch to the new identity now.
  4. Now open the windows to manage identity (step 1) again, select your old account and click on delete.

  This, of course, will remove anything within this identity, including emails and address book contacts.

  You can learn more about the management of identities on the following Web site:

• help me please I lost everything in my outlook express sent items

  Hello please help me I lost all sent items in my outlook express today when I go to sent items that I see only those I sent today and before those I sent in 2008

  Mising about 2 years of emails that I sent

  Help me please write me * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  While in sent items: reviews | Current view. Show all Messages is verified? If this is the case, continue here...

  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.

  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

  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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

  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:

  And backup often.

• Impossible to delete the Inbox in outlook express

  I've had problems with Outlook Express 6.0 for a couple of minths now.  I can't delete messages in my Inbox and I can't drag those I want to save to other folders.  It is also extremely slow to open now.

  Any ideas that I can do to get this back to the way that it work use dto?

  I don't know what happened because of this problem.

  This can be difficult if you have messages in the Inbox you want to save, so let's start with what is safe.
   
   
  Create a new folder deleted items with no message in it that you want to save.
   
  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.
   
   
  Close OE, reboot and see if you can move messages from the Inbox to a folder created by the user. After the return. There is much more to do.

  You should always respond to the original thread so that we know what you're talking about.
   
  1. What have you done so far?
  2. OE closed when you tried to remove the dbx file?
  If you are unable to delete the file, use a new 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.
