My Outlook Express messages are saved as .ids please help

After getting a virus tds, I tried to backup my Outlook Express messages by copying the identities under the application data folder. The problem is that in the exact folder where Outlook Express said that it stored the messages that I have 3 files with the correct names: Inbox, saved etc. but extensions are .ids NOT .dbx and the files are only about 1 KB. My Oulook Express reinstalled does not recognize these files and rename the .dbx does not help. Of course since they only about 1 KB of real data probably isn't there somehow. So even if Outlook Express has actually done this folder as folder where it was stored, is it possible that my messages were stored somewhere else, under data of demand or they are lost forever? I will state that I have no file .dbx anywhere!

Tina.

Do this first:

Select Show files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

Now, do a search and look for *.dbx

Don't you think that all dbx files that are not part of your new message store folder? Note the location and after return.

    In addition to the problem that is described in this article with temporary files, Outlook Express can have an empty message, if Internet Explorer is configured to display, coding for automatic selection. If so, disable the automatic selection in Internet Explorer and choose rather Western European (ISO). If your program has an option to read HTML messages as plain text, the HTML version of the message may appear as an ATT0001. HTM attachment (the number may vary).

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    How can I create a group or a list of contacts on Outlook Express.  I found the answer in help, but cannot locate elements, on what he asked me to click

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    If you're running Vista, you have Windows Mail, not Outlook Express. These instructions for adjustment of these two programs.

    To create a group of contacts:

    You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

    1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
    2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
    3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
    a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
    (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
    to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
    (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
    4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

    Note

    a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
     
    b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

    If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

    Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

  • Problem importing email files from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail. Not all the imported outlook express folders are visible

    I followed your instructions and now have "storage folders" visible. However that a single user account recorded message records showing if you keep double clicking and scrolling down.

    V-2009: open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
     
    V-2011: Menu button. Import Messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
     

    Location of OE message store:

  • How can I get rid of an Outlook Express message that appears at startup?

    The message is placed:

    To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compress...

    I don't even use Outlook Express.

    If you are comfortable in the Windows registry, you can navigate to the following address:

    \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\ {Long ID Number}

    Name: "Compact Check Count".

    Value = 0

    Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.

  • go to windows live but continue to receive error in outlook express messages

    Outlook express 6 does not work anymore so I went to windows live mail, but I keep getting error messages re; Outlook express, even if I do not use it. How can I get rid of error messages?

    You are welcome. If you ever want difficulty OE, you need not to be able to access first.

    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.

    The path to the message will be very similar to this:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

    Simply deleting Folders.dbx and OE should open after that.

  • Outlook express message files compact

    Once my machine started to the top I get the outlook express compact files pop up message.  I did not and have never used outlook express for email, so why OE delivers this message.  I tried to completely remove the OE my machine, but all attempts to remove or rename files either result in a "file in use" message, or in the case of an attempt to change of name, the system creates a new copy.  Full scans the machine AV don't identify any issues of Trojan or malicious and all software security patches are applied.

    Can anyone tell how to stop this message occurs please?

    CHRS Bert

    Leave you compact once, correct? If you did, here is the complete list of opportunities.

    The problem is with the registry counter which gives you the prompt after 100 closures of OE. It is increased faster than it should be, and even if you do not OE.

    There are a growing number of programs and actions that can cause after installing SP3. You have following situations?

    Keyboard IBM rapid access (pilot) RAKDLL. DLL
    Search Windows {office}
    MailWasher
    Nero-plug-in (s)

    Opening of EML files while OE is closed will also help the County to register.

    Different antivirus, antispyware, and third-party firewall, especially if they were running when you installed SP3.

    Archived discussion discuss this issue in June 2008:
    http://groups.Google.com/group/Microsoft.public.outlookexpress.General/browse_frm/thread/fcd35fbfa457fd6f

    In the case of Windows Search, (the offender #1), 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.

    In the case of Nero Scout, see point 2.3 page 8 here.
    FTP://ftp6.Nero.com/user_guides/Nero8/Scout/NeroScout_Enu.PDF

    In the option to exclude indexing of selected file types, remember to add these file types:

  • Problem with Outlook Express "Message has not been downloaded."

    I'm having a problem with emails and attachments removed once I open and view them.  More specifically, when I opened an e-mail message by using Microsoft Outlook Express 6 with an attachment, I am able to see the file and open the attachment.  However, when I go back to this same email one or two weeks later, I see the following is message "Message has not been downloaded" Outlook Express has not yet downloaded this message. »

    Please let me know what is the cause for this.  I have very important emails that have disappeared.

    In more of Bruce's response, if you lost messages (and it seems you if messages do not appear) and then check your Inbox for a bak file is a backup of the dbx file that you can restore.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and see point 4 on retrieving the messages.  I suspect the problem is due to having interference from antivirus software because it is probably what causes this loss, then see item 3 on this page also, as noted in Bruce.
