Microsoft Outlook Express... Closed e-mail Express desktop

It's driving me crazy! My cousin sent me an email and everytime I click on it, it closes my Outlook Express on my desk. I can't get rid of it. It is not yet open for me. Help please!

Ok. It is a little more work, but it will get the job done.
 
Move all messages from the Inbox without touching the problem message to a local folder, you create and then delete the 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, 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.
 
With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it.  A new and empty Inbox will be created automatically when you open OE.

  • It's about microsoft outlook express 2007 sending mail

    It's about microsoft outlook express 2007. When I send an email from my ms outlook express with somes pictures on this subject, the recipient mail do not visualize the images. How to solve this problem?

    So, have you asked in the Outlook forum that I've provided?

  • OK to delete the files that are: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express

    Good afternoon:

    Have recently been spotted by Windows XP Pro disk space on my C drive is low.  I reinstalled all the obvious large files (e.g., photos) on an external hard drive.  I have drilled down into individual files on the C drive to ensure other potential consumers of space. Found the folder that can be the source.

    Last year, I converted from Outlook Express (OE) for Outlook.  At this point, I rode on my e-mail and the e-mail folders in Outlook.

    I found a file in the following location that seems to contain the OE files.  I would like to know if the removal of these files of OE (~8.5 GB) impact my Outlook folder/mail e-mail before I remove them.

    The location is: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express.

    The folder contains about 8.5 GB of e-mail to OE folders more of them are dated July/August 2010.

    It is safe to assume that when I converted originally these OE e-mail/folders over to Outlook - that Outlook has caught up - and it's OK to delete these files?

    Thanks for your help.

    Cheers.

    Rick

    If you do not use OE, then Yes. It will not affect Outlook at all. Open the database messages OE, the folder that you have described, and remove all the dbx files. If you need OE once again, when you open OE, it creates new files dbx for all default folders such as Inbox, sent, etc. items.

    View | Current view. Show all Messages is verified? If this is the case, then you have to do.
     
     
    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? :

    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.
     
    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:

    And see:

    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. For more information, see:

  • Microsoft Outlook express Outbox does not transmit messages - Messages remain in the Outbox for ever

    When you create new messages, outlook does not transmit messages. They remain in the Outbox for ever

    Assuming that you have checked The Send Messages immediately and you get no error message, you may need to the corruption of dbx files.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to 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.

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.

    Who is your mail server? For example: if it's Comcast, you would you connect on the Comcast website. The password that you use in OE is the same as the one you set up to use your e-mail server.

    I should have told the general tab, not reading, but if you don't see this, you are not using Outlook Express.

    Send & receive at startup and check for messages every X minutes are unchecked, message will not download from the server. Now you can go to the server, delete messages that you don't want and check these boxes again. What you have left on the server is uploaded to OE.

    You don't have to uncheck these boxes, as long as you remember to get rid of the messages on the server site before opening OE after your return. I only suggested as a measure of protection in the case where you open OE by mistake.

    Hello

    Did you do a clean install or custom Windows vista installation?

    If you did a custom installation, then you should find .wab file in the Windows.old folder. Outlook Express stores contacts in a file to the address book of Microsoft Windows® with the .wab extension.

    Is there a way to Outlook express 6.0 on a version of media of Windows XP to change the default browser from IE6 to Firefox? I can do this for XP, but do not know how to Outlook Express 6.0

    Thank you

    OE should follow XP settings for the most part.  Check in Control Panel | Folder options | File types and check HTTP and HTTPS protocols and also check file (htm and html) extensions.  See if that fixes it.

    It could be, however, that specific aspects of the ENP will use only IE, since both are somewhat intwined operationally.

    A version of Outlook? Or Outlook Express 6? If OE, try a new identity.

    You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main 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.
