My Outlook Express gives me an 0x800C0133 error. Impossible to delete my messages from the Inbox. Also, I don't find the file indox.dbx.

I read the post on the copy the messages from the Inbox to another folder.  I tried, but get an error message.  I decided that I would just delete all but the messages will not delete.  I used the search function of windows to search for inbox.dbx, but he could not find the file.  I have a large number of messages in my Inbox and its ok if I lose all.  I get the error message when I start outlook express and download messages from my pop3 e-mail.  It still downloads messages from one of my other emails which is also a pop3 server.  I have windows xp pro and it is completely up to date.  Thank you...

Hello craigalene,

This issue may occur because of corrupted inbox in Outlook express.

Perform the following troubleshooting steps and check if this solves the problem.

Step 1:

Create a new folder and move all mail from your Inbox to the new folder in Outlook Express.

Follow these steps:

a. click on the file menu.

b. Select the folder and select new.

c. give an appropriate name for the folder.

d. Select all mails in the inbox and move to a different folder.

e. move mail to the new folder.

Step 2:

I suggest to delete the Inbox.dbx file in your computer.

In Windows XP Outlook Express files user (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 and view.

Follow the steps to delete the Inbox.dbx file.

a. close Outlook Express.

b. use the search option to find the box of Inbox.dbx.

c. delete the Inbox.dbx file.

Note: Another will be created automatically when you open Outlook Express.

    You may have a corrupt inbox.  Move all messages from the Inbox to another folder if you can.  Then move the inbox.dbx file in another directory in the message store directory (found via Tools |) Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Storage folder and files are hidden).  OE will create a new one so that should solve the problem.

    Alternatively, you can go to file | Identities and setup a new identity, which will give you a new message store) and then add your e-mail account.  If it works fine, you can use the file | Import | Messages to get the messages from the old identity.

    In the future see points 2 and 3 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and make sure that you back up your messages frequently, because cases often get corrupted.

    If you get a message from the demon, then its likely to their end.  You can do a CTRL-F3 on the message of demon and see if it contains more information in terms of what generated server.  You can always try to split apart the message and see if she gets then.

  • My ISP is spelled when I set up Outlook Express. I get an error everytime I try to use it.

    Outlook Express problem

    The address to which Outlook Express shows when it is trying to connect to my ISP is misspelled (Comast rather than Comcast) for an error message shows everytime I try to use it. When I go to run and then Control Panel there is no icon for mail so I can't Mail configuration to try to fix the problem. What can I do?

    In XP, Outlook Express, you need to go to Tools, accounts , and then double-click the e-mail account you want to change in the Internet accounts dialog box. This opens the Properties dialog box for this account. Looks like you need to make changes to incoming or outgoing mail tab servers servers.

  • In Outlook express, how do I set up a 'out of office' message please?

    In Outlook express, how do I set up a 'out of office' message please?

    If you do this, you must let your computer 24/7, be connected to the Internet and open your e-mail program. If you want to do this anyway, the link below will show you how do it. One thing I would say is that where it says to create a rule and change you it to check for all Messages, and that the rule for the people in your address book. Otherwise you will answer Spam as well and could end up in an infinite loop of rebounds.

    Some messages do not conform to the standards of the Internet in the sense that they cannot be returned intact by their transmission.  The way around this is to use Message | Until the attachment, then they will be properly transmitted, since they will be attached.
