My Outlook Express has all of a sudden suddenly stopped to save my sent items. I checked the settings, and it is set to save. What could be wrong?

This is a computer that I use for business - so it is essential that I have copies of the stuff I send.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

You have apparent dbx file corruption.

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.

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 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.

Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

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:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

Compact often as specified above.

And backup often.

  • Unable to send email in Outlook Express 6 all of a sudden.

    Unable to send email in Outlook Express 6 all of a sudden.  I am running Windows XP.  All of a sudden one day I was not able to send e-mail, but I can receive. When this happened, I got "an unknown error has occurred. "" Account: 'Alan ntl', server: 'smtp.ntlworld.com', Protocol: SMTP, server response: ' 421 aamtaout04 - winn.ispmail.ntl.com connection refused [82.26.72.74] ', Port: 465, secure (SSL): Yes, Server error: 421, error number: 0x800CCC67.

    However after reading your answers of Oct 2010 I changed port 587 and got "the connection to the server failed. Account: 'Alan ntl', server: 'smtp.ntlworld.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, secure (SSL): Yes, Socket error: 10060, error number: 0x800CCC0E "... Please help

    It is highly unlikely that removing OE and add it again will help it.

    The message "connection refused" says unambiguously that the server aamtaout04 - winn.ispmail.ntl.com does not accept connections on port 465.  So either you have the wrong specified server, you have the wrong port specified or the server actually has a problem, despite what tells you the mail service provider.

  • My older version of outlook express has several problems, will be these imported into a new account in thunderbird

    My older version of Outlook Express has acquired several problems. It is time for a change, these errors will be imported into a new account in Thunderbird. I hope that everything is based on the conviction that the two programs are completely different.

    You don't say what problems you have with OE, then how everyone has to guess?

    There is no such thing as a "Thunderbird account. You do not have an account with your email provider. To access this account, you can use OE, or Thunderbird.
    But Thunderbird isn't your e-mail provider.

    Go to view | Current view | Show all messages to make sure that you have just selected 'Hide read messages.

    If this does not help, check your Recycle Bin, the bak files which are dbx files, you can restore backups.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    If this does not help, then you will probably need my program DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/), which will extract the messages from individual dbx files, and if messages are no longer in the files, it can extract from the disc itself.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 has all of a sudden is not recognized by only my computer at home

    Hi, I have 4 laptops in my house. We have all been connected wireless to my HP printer for over a year. All of a sudden, for some reason, my computer no longer sees the printer. I have an ASUS. I run Windows 7 with the Windows Firewall. My router is a Linksys EA3500 age of 3 months. I can print from each another printer at home, and I can also print from my Android phone. However, when I try to print from my laptop, he says now that it detects a printer has been turned off.  I did everything that I can think of to fix this. The only changes that I had recently installed program AV of Webroot. I can't be 100% certain, but I'm sure that I printed from this facility, and all the other computers on my network use Webroot as well without any problems. Hoping for help. Here's what I've done so far:

    1. Tried troubleshooting printer via the computer. He went through control of the coil and all service that the standard troubleshooting only. It says something about my printer is off. It certainly wasn't, but I unplugged and rebooted just to be sure. No solution.
    2. Noticed the IP has changed on the printer and thought that maybe something with dynamic vs static (don't know much about it) so went to 'update IP address' on my laptop and updated info. Checked the info of the router settings by entering the IP address of the printer in the browser. Printer shows connected and ready and everything seems good. I ping the ip with the results. Mac filtering is not enabled, so I don't need to deal with this. SSID is not hidden. 802.11 configuration indicates that the network type is WPA - PSK WPA2 with AES selected for encryption. As always, it has been.
    3. Double checked to make sure printer was recognizable by my firewall. It is on the accepted list.
    4. Last resort: I uninstalled the printer software and removed the device from my laptop. Attempt to reinstall, but when it gets to the part where it is supposed to search for the printer, it says cannot find. I enter the IP address of the printer and it does not always find. I enter the host name, and it does not always find. As I uninstalled it, I can no longer install the printer at all.
    5. Then to airline pilots and I tried using the installation via the online option. same results. "Cannot find the printer.
    6. I unpugged the printer from the wall, again, this time for more than an hour, hoping that it would reset, but visiting this probabaly account is not the problem since any other laptop can print in my house.
    7. Tried to plug in the ethernet cable and the printer this way. Plugged one end router and another printer according to the instructions of troubleshooting tips. Software disc and it does not install the printer. Change IP address on the printer when I use ethernet and I entered new ip accordingly.
    8. Reset my modem and rebooted. Resetting my router and then used software to reconfigure. do you have the standard "wait ten seconds and a plug in back and restart the computer". No solution.
    9. Check my network wireless adapter setting to make sure that I have more updated drivers. Yes.
    10. Delete everything that relates to my printer in each folder and in regedit.
    11. Tried to reinstall printer wireless both with ethernet. Unable to find the printer so be it.

    I haven't changed any settings I can think of since the last printer worked a few weeks ago. As I said, all other computers print perfectly. The only thing I can think of that is different is all oher laptops running Windows 8 and I am always on 7, but it's not serious before, and I can print from the HP printer on my phone software.

    Please someone tell me what I'm missing here. I'm going bonkers. Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to answer on this support forum.

    Thank you very much for your detailed answer.

    I put a static IP address on my printer to 192.168.1.3. After several attempts to install the printer I just couldn't. I decided to run combofix and after that and a reboot I was able to install the printer successfully. Everything went as it should work. IP address is. I thought I was finally going to solve this problem. Then, I hit print a document and it doesn't have same queue in the printer.  I remembered that I read on how you need to go to the printer properties and make sure that the printer is on the TCIP port with the IP address. That was the problem. He had the bad IP. I changed the IP of what I changed to manually and voila. I print again.

    I think everything that happened during the changed dynamic configuration ip 192.168.1.110. I don't understand why all Win8 computers in my house didn't get affected, but I'm just glad that affecting an address static IP did the trick. It has been weeks since I've heard this thud hit sound of my printer from my computer.

    Thanks again for your help.

  • my real player has all-of-a-sudden started download videos from youtube in mp4. No flv as previously. How can I fix it?

    I have been using real player for some time and was able to download youtube videos.  My real player has all-of-a-sudden started download videos from youtube in mp4. No flv as previously. How can I fix it?

    Real Player download all videos in mp4, it depends on the video that you download.

    To me, it seems as Real Downloader download videos in mp4 more often rather than a flv. recent files.
    If the video you downloaded is a mp4 file you can still play it in another media player like Windows Media Player, but for me, most downloaded with Real Downloader mp4 files have no sound when played in Windows Media Player.
    As you probably know, you can buy Real Player Plus for read, trim or convert mp4 files in RealPlayer. If my guess is that it's way to Real to get people to buy Real Player Plus. Or maybe not, I had this same problem and I don't know what the cause is at the present time.
