Missing messages in OUtlook Express after compression

• Unable to display all unread messages in Outlook Express after running "compating" and also update Symantec AV.

  Original title: how to repair Outlook Express.

  Until recently, when I open Oulook Express, I'd get a screen telling me how many emails that are UNREAD.  I would then click the UNREAD and I'd get a panel showing all the emails in the order in which they came from my ISP.  Now, however, when I open OUTLOOK EXPRESS, I get immediately the last email rec'vd and the only way I can see others, is to remove the one that is open.  I am running XP-Professional and anti-virus from Symantec.  This change seemed to arise as a result of a routine compaction and update my Symantec anti-virus.  I tried to 'uninstall' OUTLOOK EXPRESS by unchecking in 'Add/Remove Windows components' and then 'install' again by checking the box, but he always reacts the same way.  Is it possible that OUTLOOK EXPRESS has somehow been corrupted?  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  OE uncheck in Add/Remove removes only the access and nothing else. Compaction is a necessary process and unless you have actually lost messages, I doubt it was that. It is more likely Symantec which is least friendly OE AV program there. All that said, follow these steps.
   
  1: view | Current view. Make sure Show all Messages is the only option that is checked.
   
  2: Try in a new identity. You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identities | 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.

• MSIMN.exe is missing from the Outlook Express folder. I have XP SP3 and IE 8.

  MSIMN.exe is missing from the Outlook Express folder which has 11 files it contains.  OE has never been installed.   I have XP Pro SP 3 IE 8.

  I bought a Dell 5 years computer and it works well. I have no e-mail program, and none has ever been installed. It seems that I only have Outlook (not installed) but I really want/need from OE 6.   MSIMN.exe is XP and is not downloadable from Ms.  Help!

  It may be a hidden file.  Make sure you have these active under control panel | Folder options | View.
   
  And go to start | Run and type (or copy and paste):
   
  "C:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe".
   
  and including the quotes.

• I use XP and when I try to open Outlook Express I get this message. "Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE." DLL could not be initialized. Outlook Express is not installed properly

  Last night, everything seemed normal. When I try to open Outlook Express, I get this message. "Outlook express could not be started.  The application could not open message store outlook express.  Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full.  Contact Microsoft Support for assistance. (0x800700C1, 193) "after this message, the message above was posted. I bought and ran a program called FixCleaner with the same results. I also cleaned my disk and more 66 G remains to use and have a lot of available memory.

  Thank you all for your help, but I gave up and took it to my computer guru and fixed it. He said there where a few old accounts in the computer and registry was messed up and it solved the problem and now it works.

  THANKS again!

• I've lost the ability to remove the messages from Outlook Express

  I lost the ability to delete messages from Outlook Express shipped with Windows XP. Does anyone know how to fix this please?

  You have corruption of dbx files.
   
  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox 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:

• Import e-mail messages from Outlook Express in Windows Live Mail?

  I have recently moved to a new PC with Win7 and have been using Live Mail - more often with success, I thought with the exception of one or two faults, but I'll probably post a question on those.
  On the audit of my old PC today, when I open Oulook Express have been downloaded more than 100 emails that have not appeared in Live Mail - dating back to the time I went.
  I tried to export these messages of OE, put it on a USB key and then import in LM LM do not seem to recognize them - these are the dbx files. Suggestions anyone please?
  Thank you in advance.
  Jeff.

  If both computers use the same e-mail address, you must do this to get the messages on both.
   
  On both machines: tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
   
  On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.

• Cannot receive messages in Outlook Express

  Recently (for the first time) I consulted my ISP mail service. Since then, I have been unable to receive messages in Outlook Express, even if I can send them. When I check new messages, I get a connection, but no new messages. Some of my messages are confused on my e.mail of ISPs. I checked all my settings etc for OE account, and they look very good. It was working perfectly before. Any ideas, help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  If all worked correctly before you enter you e-mail service so I guess that it s a virus or a malware application.
  I put t know if you use your Anti virus but you should! It is very important to have this application and also it is very important to update your anti virus everyday software.

  Incorrect settings in Outlook are another possibility.
  Check it!

• A strange thing happens when I try to send a message from Outlook Express

  Whenever I try to send a message from Outlook Express to my Yahoo email account, the dialog box will move immediately to the status bar.  Is not that bad, but it seems too far on the right side of the screen, and I right-click on the status bar to maximize.  Any ideas on why this is happening?

  Can click you the title bar when it is on the right side and then move it to the left (try also the arrows).  If you can move it and then close it, then it should open in the center of the next time.

• Delete "Has not sent Messages" from Outlook Express

  I had already tried to send (by e-mail) 4 messages on Outlook Express.  These messages was not an error saying that amount report exceeded content allowed.  I am trying to send more than one message today, but four other messages that have failed are included in this attempt and I get an error.  How can I clear the previous 4 messages that did not send so that I can send it a message.  I can find the Inbox on 'Outlook Express', but not a place where I can go to remove these failed messages.  Help, please!

  If you cannot delete Outbox messages while working offline, and then create a new Outbox.

• Remove a pop-up for compacting messages in Outlook Express 6.

  I was doing a pop-up asking me if I want to compact messages in Outlook Express in order to free disk space. It's very boring and very frequent. I don't know how to do it go away. I am able to get rid of him, and if so, how?

  As mentioned above, it will be in the control panel.
   
  In the case of Windows Search, you must be told to stop indexing OE.
   
  Windows Search. Set Desktop Search Options:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Australia/windows/desktopsearch/search/options.mspx
   
  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.
   
  If you see the prompt again, you may leave compact once to clear the meter in the registry. It won't cause any harm.
   
  *********************
   
  But, also, you said that you have modified the registry to 0. Have you ever he let compact once?

  You don't offer a lot of information and a new thread of your own would have been better than locking it.
   
  Do you have an error message when you try to send? If so, post it. If this is not the case, make sure that there are no messages in the Outbox.
   
  If there is, check: file | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. You can remove them now?
   
  If this isn't the case, create a new Outbox.
