In Windows XP, Outlook Express 6 will not be open.

original title: GLT ouside oe will not open

I installed: WinXP and OE 6

On my laptop if I clik email .eml file and I choose OE program to open it, it opens OE but not open the e-mail. This is starting to happen a month ago.

The onliy to open the electronic mail is to drag the file to the open OE and click on it.

If I copy the same eml file on my desk if I click it, it will open the e OE opened the e-mail.

Kind regards

Try the reinstatement of OE: www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx

It could also be a permissions issue on the directory that contains the eml file that prevents OE to open, because it works from the desktop.  Check other directories outside the office and perhaps its own only in this directory, which contains the eml files.  Also check if the eml file is read-only.  OE has problems sometimes with readonly files.

  • Outlook express 6 will not receive any e-mail, send e-mail

    Outlook express 6 will not receive any email from verizon but not email.  Tired separate identify and clear and redo account?

    An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'incoming.verizon.net', server: 'incoming.verizon.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133

    Now it means everything. Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.

    Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.

    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 | View.

    With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    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.

    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.

    I tried to restart, assigning to a bygone era, [and who always says it cannot be set to this date and chose another, but that does not work either].

    This is due to floating files, the result of many messages in the Inbox, or lack of compaction.

    Move all messages you want to save out of the Inbox, deleted items, and sent items in local folders, you create. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

    If there is no message in the Inbox you want to, but can not move after return, before doing anything more.

    It is reasonable to assume that you have Outlook Express Version 6 and not Outlook 2007? If so, see this.

    When OE crashes or won't start
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/errors.htm#crash

    Basically, you need a new Folders.dbx file.

    Close OE and delete the message store Folders.dbx.

    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.

  • Outlook express 6 will not let me the photos 'BEFORE' that I get

    I use Outlook Express 6 and cannot transfer photos that I receive in my Inbox. The pictures show well in my email, but when I send to my friends, only the 'TEXT' is considered. There is a box with an "X" in it where the pictures are supposed to be. Someone know why? I "CHECKED" the function "SEND PICTURES WITH the EMAIL" under
    OPTIONS', 'SEND '.

    For some messages, images coming along well.  Try to send a message with a picture to yourself and then send it to yourself and see if you still get the image.  If Yes, then this is the specific messages you want to convey, that probably doesn't conform to Internet standards.  So instead of the message, use Message | Forward so that attachment, then the images will display correctly.

  • Outlook express 6 will not let me delete emails

    I can't delete emails from my Inbox on my outlook file Express 6. I can read them and then they show that I have, however none will remove.

    [I swear to you that I had already answered in this post!]

    1. move all the messages that you want to keep out of the folders Inbox, sent items and deleted items and in other local OE folders have created you for archiving (backup) of such messages.

    2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

    2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

    3. close OE.

    4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & delete the files Inbox.dbx , Outbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbx.

    5 empty the trash.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

    N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

    -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

    -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More on http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

    -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

    -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

    I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016.  I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.

    The steps that worked for me:

    (1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed

    (2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair

    (3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions

    (4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])

    (5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)

    (6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing

    (7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com

    I hope it works for you!
