Invisible messages to Outlook Express 6 after failure "compact all folders.
I start Outlook Express 6 XP. On closing yesterday that I was invited to compact the folders - said yes, but he hung up at halfway and locked the PC and I finally had to force a power down. PC started today to find any message in most folders, including the Inbox. DBX files are visible and of reasonable size, and their properties say they are those that are used by OE, but show in OE as "There is no evidence at this point of view". Help, please, anyone?

Outlook Express hangs after a facebook message
Whenever I get an email notice that somebody posted on my wall on Facebook, I click to open the e-mail message and Outlook Express crashes. Soluto says it's probably because of the nesplitter.ax file. I can't locate this file on my computer. Any suggestions on how to stop this crash?
It is a known issue with certain mail such as OE clients, given Facebook emails do not conform to the standards of the Internet. The only way around is to read Facebook messages in plain text only. So if you get one, before you open it, go to tools | Options | Read and verify the ability to read messages in plain text only, then you can read the message without it crashing.
You can also get my free OETool (www.oehelp.com/OETool/) program, which has a button that toggles this option of HTML / plain text.
Alternatively, you can set up a message rule that if the message comes from Facebook, then move it to another folder. Before going into this folder to read the messages, turn the read plain text messages option.

Message from Outlook express 0x800C0133 error
Help! Have not been able to download emails for several days. After the Outlook Express signature, he begins to receive messages and then an error screen appears with the message POP3 Port 110 and 0x800C0133 error after this no messages appear as the mail queue is growing...
I tried the help sections and also contacted Microsoft who sent me on this forum. Am not very computer, so any help is really appreciated.
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.
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:

Last night, everything seemed normal. When I try to open Outlook Express, I get this message. "Outlook express could not be started. The application could not open message store outlook express. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full. Contact Microsoft Support for assistance. (0x800700C1, 193) "after this message, the message above was posted. I bought and ran a program called FixCleaner with the same results. I also cleaned my disk and more 66 G remains to use and have a lot of available memory.
Thank you all for your help, but I gave up and took it to my computer guru and fixed it. He said there where a few old accounts in the computer and registry was messed up and it solved the problem and now it works.
THANKS again!

How to get outlook express to stop asking Compact messages
How can I get outlook express to stop asking Compact messages
* If you use not OE, or you leave compact and always see command prompt, post-bac. You have one from different then I wil describe.*
Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compactCompacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.
Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.
See:
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compactIf you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.
For more information, see the information framed in red here:
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2To keep things running smooth and harden faster:
Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. 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.
And backup often.

Cannot receive messages in Outlook Express
Recently (for the first time) I consulted my ISP mail service. Since then, I have been unable to receive messages in Outlook Express, even if I can send them. When I check new messages, I get a connection, but no new messages. Some of my messages are confused on my e.mail of ISPs. I checked all my settings etc for OE account, and they look very good. It was working perfectly before. Any ideas, help would be appreciated.
Hello
If all worked correctly before you enter you e-mail service so I guess that it s a virus or a malware application.
I put t know if you use your Anti virus but you should! It is very important to have this application and also it is very important to update your anti virus everyday software.Incorrect settings in Outlook are another possibility.
