Mails to aol in Outlook Express

I have windows xp home edition. I've always used aol for e-mail, but last week, all my old and new emails went to outlook express. I love them all back to aol and continue using that. I've never used outlook and never been able to send emails from there, if someone could give me step by step instructions on how to recover them? I would be very grateful!

  • E-mails have "disappeared" in Outlook Express

    Hello, I have been using Outlook Express yesterday when exactly a month of emails 'disappeared' from the Inbox.  Can I get back them?  Where did they go?  They are not in the folder removed, tried to restore the trash .bak file too.  It happened already, the last time I lost a whole year of emails.

    It happened already, the last time I lost a whole year of emails.

    And you still do not save your messages?

    **************************

    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? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact

    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone

    Recovery methods:

    If you are running XP/SP3, 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.

    Note: If you have new messages in the folder you are go restore, move them to a folder first created user, or they will be lost. They can be moved once the old posts have been restored.

    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.

  • e-mail receiver problem in outlook Express.

    I have geniune Microsoft Xp Professional Service Pack 2. Now, when you use Outlook Express, I am able to send and receive and my mail is downloading also it shows there are new messages in the Inbox that is unread but you know that I am not able to find that the messages exactly where this is going. I am not able to see my new messages arrived in my email... So, dear Sir, I want the solution for this. Looking forward for your positive response as soon as possible. my email is "* address email is removed from private life." Confirm to me

    Make sure that when you are in the Inbox that you saw. Current view | Show all messages checked and do not check the chat messages.  Then see if the messages.  Also check other folders and see if the messages are transferred to other folders.  Message rules to do this.

    Otherwise, you may have a corrupt message store.  Then go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  Then add your email account and see if there is a problem then.  If it works fine, then go to file | Import | Messages to get the messages from the old identity.

    Also, be aware that antivirus software can interfere with the functionality of the ENP.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And it would be wise to upgrade to SP3 of XP.

  • Maximum number of e-mail addresses in an Outlook Express 'group '.

    There is no limit. But your ISP probably has a restriction of the recipients how much you can send simultaneously.

  • Problems with receiving mail through Comcast in Outlook Express

    I have a situation very similar to others in this form. I can send emails in Outlook Express via comcast, but cannot receive and have nothing in my Inbox more. Everything in personal folders is always there.

    Here is that I get the error message: an unknown error has occurred. Account: "mail.comcast.net', server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133

    The recovery tool that talked about the shape will bring all my folders and sent mail?

    For the record, I remember not anything in the instructions which says that we should never back up our Inbox.

    Another question.  My emails are still sitting on the comcast servier.  Is it possible to download in my outlook express and if so, how?

    Thank you for your help.

    If you are satisfied with just the messages on the server, see Option 1. If you want all messages back, see Option 2.

    Option 1

    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 box of Inbox.dbx and Pop3uidl.dbx file, and delete them.  A new Inbox will be waiting when you open OE and need to download messages. will be created automatically when you open OE.

  • Computer hangs until the e-mail sent by using Outlook Express

    I can't use my computer until I have send an email via Outlook Express.  The mouse can click on things on my desktop, but nothing is open until an email is sent.

    From the Start button, the cursor flashes on Internet and e-mail but does not come to rest.  When Outlook Express is started, my Inbox restores the oldest email rather than the last email and I can't scroll down until an email is sent.

    Once an email is sent, all is well in my computer and I can use my desktop icons, click on things in my Inbox, etc..

    This has happened for the past two months.  Any ideas or suggestions?

    I have installed the malware and spyware, run scans with an AVG scan.  Malicious program detected the following...

    You have a LOT more work to do!

    NB: If you had no installed anti-virus application or subscription has expired * when the machine was first infected * and/or your subscription has expired since and/or the machine is not kept fully corrected in Windows Update, don't waste your time with any of the following: Format & reinstall Windows.  A repair install won't help!

  • Windows live mail used compared to outlook express

    I prefer windows live mail. How can I remove the outlook express program that keeps popping up from time to time?

    Hi Bobwisda,

    Thanks for posting. To remove Outlook Express, follow these steps. Please note that you will need the Windows XP CD to reinstall this component.

    Click Start
    Click on Control Panel
    Double-click Add / Remove programs
    Once the icon Add / Remove programs is open, click the Add/Remove Windows components on the left side of the screen.
    You should see that outlook Express is listed when the dialog box opens.
    Just remove the check mark from the box next to Outlook Express and click on "next".
    You will see a progress bar as Outlook Express is being uninstalled, and when it's done, you can simply click Finish.

    Outlook Express has been removed.

    I hope this helps!

  • How can I move mail and contacts from Outlook Express on a computer that is running XP Pro to Windows Live Mail on another computer in Windows 7?

    Can someone please provide a solution step by step? Most of the messages and the links here seems to apply to a different situation, as OE6 and WLM residing on the SAME computer, or under the SAME operating system. Not so in my case.

    I see that Windows Live Mail is supposed to be able to import contacts and emails OE6. But where am I supposed to put old OE6 files on the computer so that Windows Live Mail can find them? OE6 only let me "export" to Outlook or Microsoft Exchange, nor of what exists on my old computer, nor my other!

    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

    For messages:

    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    Location of OE message store:

    In 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.

    For addresses:

    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.

    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.

    If you do not use your account to send AOL from, then you must go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties and then under servers, set the correct and less advanced as well.  These values are obtained from your e-mail provider.  See if there are instructions on their Web site to use OE and what parameters to use.
