Is there a good alternative to outlook express.6?

I bought a new computer with windows 7 on it. My research shows me that my old e-mail account Outlook Express does not work on Windows 7. I prefer to use an email on computer rather than a remote type (cloud) seeks an alternative to Outlook Express. Can someone point me in the right direction. Would be useful if I could transfer my Outlook Express emails, settings account and address book on the alternative system. Someone at - it ideas.

Windows Live Mail is the successor to Outlook Express. I use Thunderbird myself.

    I start outlook express in windows XP for my email. I how a new Dell with windows 7. I see that windows 7 has no defalt e-mail program and outlook express is not compatible.

Can I transfer my address book, account groups and the emalis saves form outlook express on my old machine to live mail on my new machine? If yes how can I do this?

    Thank you geno007

    Windows Live Mail is a good alternative to Outlook Express.  In many ways, they are similar programs.  If you transfer your data and settings (and emails) for Windows 7 via the transfer of the program and then install Live Mail, I think (haven't checked myself) that it will bring together all of your Outlook Express emails and settings automatically and incorporate those into the new program.  If not there is always the option to import if it is necessary.

  • Why was the full Inbox folder when there is no message in the folder of outlook express?

    Original title: failure of Outlook Express

    I apologize if I am in the wrong category, but there isn't one for Outlook Express. I encountered a strange problem with OE. My client always uses OE for their emails and all of a sudden a person has lost the ability to receive emails. After some research, I found that their Inbox.dbx file exceeded the capacity of 2 GB. Juggling which corrects the problem.

    But my question is why was the folder Inbox full, when there is no message in the folder? When I opened the OE to try to resolve the problem, the Inbox was empty! Second question is how can I keep this does not happen?

    I do not use Outlook, but it has nothing to do with archiving. Only, you do not see messages once you remove them, but they are still on your drive hard until you compact.

    How can I find my express for outlook junk folder? In my view, there is mail in there, I need?

    Outlook Express has never had a junk folder. Perhaps you have a spam program that provided your ISP? There may be a folder of junk mail on your ISP's Webmail site.

  • How to stop outlook express does not send emails more because of an email earlier had a wrong address

    Sorry if this is an old topic but I can't find any info about it:

    Sending 6 or 7 emails via outlook express, if you have a bad email address none of the sent emails after will go that they all sit in the Outbox queue behind the bad email. is there any how to make outlook express send other emails and just let the bad email? It is very annoying because I don't get to see the real prospects and know its happened when people say that they did not receive the email

    Is the message with the wrong address still in the Outbox?

    It is a question that is more how your ISP handles these messages. Some will accept the message and send you a Mailer Daemon note that the message has been delivered. In this case, it left your Outbox.

    Other service providers Internet will not accept the message to all who let her in your Outbox and blocks all future messages. There is no setting in OE to get around the policy from your ISP.

    Does that help?

    In addition to comments of Bruce, likely OE compacted messages and in doing so, he probably wiped out the where they are absent.  Check your Inbox and message store bak files which are backups dbx files prior to compaction (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2).  If you cannot find the bak files, then you will probably use the extract of the service drive of my DBXpress program (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).

  • How can I stop Outlook Express to erase emails received on my iPad

    When I look at my emails via Outlook Express, the program deletes ALL my emails, I received on my iPad (read and unread messages). Is there a setting in the Outlook Express program that could prevent this from happening?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Using POP3 in Outlook Express?

    If so - is not Outlook Express failure or iPads - is the lack of understanding.  If you use POP3 and do not leave messages on the server - so you literally make a copy of messages on the server with Outlook Express and remove server.

    Probably just iPad connects to the server (imap or something) and looks like what is on the server - if you have POP had everything, there is nothing there.

    See how you can configure your e-mail with your email provider to leave email on the server, if you intend to continue to work in this way.

  • All of a sudden Outlook Express cannot find the files created by the method of attachment.

    Outlook Express cannot find the newly created files to attach. The files are there in My Documents and Outlook Express can still see all the old files, but each new file for the last month is not seen and cannot be attached. I even typed in the name of the file and it says can not find the file of the same name. I send you the files now through 'Send it' a service online, but complicated to use another program. I checked the 'views' and they seem ok. Help, please!

    It is a long shot, but try it in a new identity.

    File | Identity | 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.

  • Install Outlook Express on Windows 7

    I want to install Outlook Express 6 on my Windows 7.   Windows Live Mail simply just works and I can't get any support.  I'm not the only one with this concern.   They had a good product with Outlook Express, why they tried to fix it?

    You can use OE on Windows 7 in one of two ways.

    If you have Pro or Ultimate, you can download and install XP Mode and running than OE.

    If you have Home Premium, you can download and install Virtual PC 2007 and install a copy of XP in this case you have a.

    As far as I KNOW if you have Starter Edition, you can proceed to any of these things.

    Tried Mozilla Thunderbird?

  • Outlook express 6 leaves the messages I send in my Outbox, gives me an error message to check details of which there is none.

    Outlook express 6 leaves the messages I send in my Outbox, for giving me an error message to check the details that there is none and then sending the message every 8 minutes except if it is deleted from the Outbox.  How can I fix

    original title: Outlook Express 6 questions
    You have apparent dbx file corruption.
     
    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox, and then create the new box of sent, and sent items folders after you move all the messages that you want to put in a local folder that you create.
     
    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 DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    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.
     
    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
     
    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:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
     
    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm
     
    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.
     
    Compact often as specified above.
     
    And backup often.

  • I have Outlook Express e-mail Icon stick on opening and does not end is there too much mail, how can I fix it?

    When you click the icon to open my Outlook Express icon (envelope) sticks on the screen of the monitor and does not open. Is there a way to get into the program to remove at least half or the whole of all the e-mail. It was not opening now for several days if I'm afraid it's risk of stuck with e-mail. I have been looking for a job online and get a ton of e-mail. I can get through the control panel and I think I saw the problem, but I don't know how to remove it. Help!

    I welcome suggestions. Rosemary

    Folders.dbx is probably damaged.

    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.

    The path to the message will be very similar to this:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

    With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Note these possible side effects:

    When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.
