• 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.

• 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. 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:

• transfer of mail from outlook express in windows mail

  I just installed a new drive on my vista dell calculation running after the failure of the old drive. I could get all my old data except e-mail from an external drive that was being automatic backup of vusta. I was using outlook express on your old computer. On the new disc from the dell software required that I used Windows mail. Mail program says he can import files from outlook express, but it didn't import empty files for me. When I look at the folders.dbx file, it only contains e-mail before 2007 and seems to correspond to the email I have uploaded from an older computer in 2007. How can I recover my missing email? Is it possible to reinstall outlook express? I still have the old external hard drive failed and the backup data on the hard drive.

  (1) that I can't do is delete the recovered Messages folder. A while back, I was able to delete empty files individually, one by one until I got rid of all. But now nothing happens when I delete things. I use Live updates for current email, so I can survive, but...

  (2) concerning the recovery of the hard drive, I don't mind try the program you suggested, but don't know how to connect the old drive. I remember reading something on a low-cost device that can be connected to a port... if USB, maybe you can direct me to a site where this is discussed, I would be grateful.
  Otherwise, I'll look for a local repair tomorrow show.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  1: tools | Options | Maintenance | Advanced | Store folder will show you the path to the Windows Mail message store. You may be able to remove the Messages recovered there. Do it with closed WinMail.

  2: If you want to get into the innards of your machine, it should be a space and drop side of your current drive. Otherwise, I would look at a store. Bruce Hagen MS - MVP [Mail]

• One of the cases registered under disappeared from Outlook Express mail.

  Original title: Outlook Express on XP system.

  I use Outlook Express on WIN XP system. Recently, one of several under "Saved" mail disappeared (accidentally deleted?) in the list on OE6 files. I checked my HD with Win Explorer and the missing subfolder is always there in C/Doc & Settings/name/Local Settings/object data/identities / {32-char ID} I checked the properties and parameters are the same as all other subfolders and are not hidden.

  I tried to import the files using OE6 (file/import / Messages etc) but I get an error message that it cannot access the files because they are either empty (they aren't) or another program is using. The only program that I control which is open is OE6 himself. Although I suspect my part pilot error, I also tried to rename the subfolder on the HD but that did not work.

  Another piece of info is that the missing subfolder has both a ".dbx" and a ".bak" hard disk file. It is the only of the subfolders have a file '.bak '. I also have a backup to a flash drive, but he is 6 weeks old and I had a lot of restoration rather the copy on the hard drive because it is updated

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Check first that the missing folder is not in deleted items or a subfolder od another folder.
   
  If no joy, create a new folder named saved. Open this folder and then close OE. Drag the folder of the message store. Close and open Windows Explorer and folder reglisser in. Close the record store and open OE.

• When you try to copy messages from Outlook Express to Live Mail, all of the .dbx except folders.dbx files copy OK. My new PC cannot read the disc to import messages (probably because that folders.dbx is missing?)

  I followed the contours of Ms. webesite steps to transfer my OE messages to my new LiveMail on my new PC. Instructions to mention to make sure that when you copy the message on a CD for transfer files to new PC that they must include the file "folders.dbx".  All my files message correctly copy except "folders.dbx".

  I guess that's why the new PC says there are no messages on the CD to be imported from (although I see that all of the .dbx files).

  Why is that I am having a problem copying "folders.dbx" and this is my problem in terms of imports?

  Create a new identity in OE and import the messages. This new storage location to transfer it to WLMail. It will be all new dbx files so no corruption should be gone.

  Thank you

  As a general rule, you must import OE to Outlook on the same computer (XP) and then transfer them to the new machine.
   
  You try to import from the storage folder in OE dbx files?
   
  If you still have the machine with OE set up, you can do it this way.
   
   
   
  To create a Windows folder on the desktop from the old machine.
  * Open a folder in OE and drag the messages into the folder on the desktop. (They will remain in OE).
  To copy this folder on the desktop on the new machine.
  Open the folder and drag the messages to a folder in the new e-mail program.
