  If the answer is Yes, then the two main reasons for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

  Recovery methods:

  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.

  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.

• Cannot delete messages on my Outlook Express Inbox

  Cannot delete messages on my Outlook Express Inbox

  You have corruption of dbx files.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox, if you can 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:
  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.

• Error message when closing Outlook Express 6.0

  Hello

  Sometimes I get an error message when I close off Outlook Express version 6.0. It asks if I want to debug the program and also asks me if I want to send an error report to Microsoft. There is also a link to click if I want to see the details of the error.

  Can anyone suggest what I need to do to stop these maessages as they qre quite annoying.

  Thank you

  Gerry

  If this happens a lot, then go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give a new registry hive and OE message store and should minimize these errors.  You can then use file | Import to get the messages from the old identity.

  OE has bugs that will never be solved.  Some of these bugs invoke mistakes you see.  So, it is endemic to the OE and you can't get rid of it, but you can minimize it by creating a new identity.  Also to compact your folders often (after saving) and keep records under a few hundred megabytes and will allow to reduce errors.

• How to configure the outgoing mail SMTP for Outlook Express 2003 receive service internet ulitizing comcast email?

  My ISP is Comcast.  I use Outlook Express 2003.  Comcast has to change mail outgoing SMTP from 465 to 587, when I could no longer send emails.  I can receive emails, but when I send a mail, Outlook Express says that the email has not been sent (but there are sent) and does not record the email in my sent folder.  I now get 2 copies of every email sent to me.  Help.

  Not surprisingly, Comcast tech told you wrong.

• Pop-up message to start Outlook express to compress messages. Unwanted. How do I turn it off?

  Whenever I start my computer, Outlook Express has a message he can save hard drive space by compressing messages.  I don't want to do this but he won't give any possibility of not.  Just says: "Ok Cancel" will appear then again net bootup.  How can I activate this view or function?

  OE questions should be asked here in the future.

  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it?
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact

  On the Corruption of files
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

  Compacting 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#2

  With 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#compact

  If 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#2

  To 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.

• I have 3 messages blocked in outlook express I can not delete. Someone said it could be an internal pointer do not know what it is?

  Outlook Express has 3 messages which cannot be removed any suggestions?

  Yes.  This means that the sent items folder is corrupted.  You can move all the messages of the items sent to a user created folder.  Then close OE and delete the file sent items.dbx and OE will create then a new, a void, but you might have other file corruption, so establishing a new identity is a better long-term solution.  Make sure that you back up messages, and file corruption is the prelude to a loss of message, what often happens in complete OE.

• Unable to print message body of Outlook Express.

  Hello

  I try to print an e-mail message from Outlook Express on XP Professional. When I click on file, print, email is sent to the printer and it prints only the header information. I tried open the message and then print and end up with the same results. I tried to uninstall IE8 and Outlook Express, and then restarted the reinstalled through the applet add or remove programs in Control Panel. Could you help me with this? Once more, the body of the email printed in white, and the only thing that prints is the header. Thank you

  I solved the problem. There was a conflict with IE8 and OE6. I uninstalled IE8 and then installed IE7. The body of the messages now print from OE6. I then went through the process of regular update again to install IE8 on my system and the messages still print all information. Thanks for all the help.

• messages disappeared from Outlook Express 6 (Inbox) e-mail account

  I was using OE6 and when an Email has been recd in the Inbox without attachment, but with a picture of my Club, I tried to remove it, but IE6 has been suspended. I then tried to close IE6, and it showed that the Inbox did NOT. There was also a pop up screen with a msg at the end of the program. As this screen kept popping up, I continued to press END. Then all emails in the Inbox after the 21/12/2008 simply disappeared. I have no older messages from 2005 until 2008-12-20, but all messages of the 20/12/2008 until 11/09/2011 disappeared. When I open Windows Explorer and checked the storage folder

  C:\Documents and Settings Application Data Data\Identities\ {87D00F43-308F-4F5C-B61A-E86A09D4A4A2} \Microsoft\Outlook Express, local owner

  I think Inbox.dbx watch 1.52 GB and DeletedItems.dbx but the OE6 102DB shows NONE of these msgs.

  Where they could hide and how to recover the same which should appear in OE6?

  Its quite likely that the files got filled with zeros where were the messages.  Often happens when users leave their files get above a few hundred megabytes.  Your 1.52 gigabyte file was a disaster time.

  You can check that recycle it the locker and the message store bak files that are backups of dbx files you want to restore, as appropriate.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1 .  If there is no bak file then your only option is to try to extract the messages from files (which may not contain anything except zeroes--you can try zipping them and if they zip down to nothing, it's what is in the file), or if they are no longer in the files then DBXpress has an exclusive excerpt from disc feature that could get back them (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) hard disk directly.

  In the future, it makes sense to keep the size of dbx files below a few hundred megabytes and backup frequently as this happens to OE users on a daily basis.

• How do you create a message rule in outlook express when the subject line contains symbols

  I get emails when the subject line contains square boxes.  I tried to create a message for when rule the subject contains these square boxes, but cannot do so.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  Then, it will not work. Unless the messages are always of the same address, or a domain, so the only option I see is of filter in your mail.

  Start with the only rule of AddressBook and you receive a message that you want people not in your address book (E-mail from companies, bills, your ISP, etc), you can add them to the rule.

  Tools | Message rules | Mail | New.

  Box 1 - Where the From line contains people {check it out}

  Box 2 - Check: delete it & stop processing more rules if you want messages not in the address book to go to deleted items, or you can create a spam folder and direct them here.

  You can choose to delete the server, but be careful because you never have messages downloaded to any folder, if you choose this option.

  Box 3 - Click on the blue words contains people

  Click on the first address to select it. Scroll to the end and hold down the SHIFT key while you click the last address. This will highlight all. Right-click on it and click on from the menu that appears.

  Now, click Options and choose: Message * contains no of * the people below in the top of the page Options area, then choose: Message corresponds to one of the people below in the background Options box.

  OK your way out of the new rule.

  Now, only the addresses that you entered will be uploaded to your Inbox. You won't see other emails.

  Remember, if you add a person to your address book, you must add to the rule. It will not automatically be added.

  Be sure to see these links for more options.
