• Page of Outlook Express will not open

  OE6 on my XP computer only opens for a few seconds. The cursor appears as hourglass. Cannot access files, tools, etc... If cannot create new identity. Worked perfectly yesterday.

  Save the messages database and remove folders.dbx.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7 if it becomes work, it's a good idea to set up a new identity to correct any underlying corruption and keep under about 300 megabytes dbx files to avoid the loss of the corruption and the message.

• Outlook Express does not open because "he has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  Outlook Express does not open because "He has encountered a problem and needs to close" error report sent many times without success. Any ideas? Thanks, Keith J B.

  original title: Outlook express

  If Bruce's response does not help, then move all the dbx files in the message a directory of storage for OE will create a new message store.  Then see if that solves the problem.  If this is the case you can use the file | Import | Messages to get from the directory to which you move them.

  Also check interference antivirus.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

• Outlook Express - will not let me delete any message

  Outlook Express will not let me delete all messages?  How can I fix?  Thank you!

  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:

• Windows Update - Outlook Express will not download new email after the last update

  After you have installed the latest update of Windows XP files (KB972270; KB977840; KB955759; KB890830) and my OUtlook Express will not download my new messages. Error message occurs sating that a file is possibly corrupted and use Scandisk to repair. This has happened on my computer and my wife using the same basic configuration. Could not resolve the problem before doing a system restore to a previous Restore Point before the update of Windows. So my Windows Updater is no longer needed.

• E-mail-Outlook Express does not open.

  Don't know if I'm in the right place to ask this question. When I try to open my Outlook Express I get a box that reads, "Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE." DLL could not be initialized. "Outlook Express from my is not installed correctly.    He told me to contact Microsoft support. It worked fine yesterday until I clicked on a box to leave my files be compacted. Since then, I have not been able to open Outlook. I tried to restore my computer to 4 different dates, but he tells me that it is not able to restore to previous dates. I'm not a computer genius, so any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  Which is good news for beginners.

  Normally, restore bak files are a little easier, but since you had to create a new identity, you must import them manually.

  Open the trash and all the bak files, you must drag the desktop.  Do not use the option restore.

  Follow the instructions here.

  How to restore individual dbx files
  http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

  You will need to rename them, and create the corresponding files in OE to their housing. It is not difficult, but read carefully and just do one at a time.

  If you do not understand the instructions, post back before trying. You can drag an additional bak file on the desktop that you need not just to a series of tests.

• My outlook express does not open.

  I get errors the application could not open the Outlook Express message store. Your computer may be interrupted ot memorey or your disk is full. For more assistance, contact Microsoft support. (0x800C013B) then when I click OK it says Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE. DLL could not be initialized. Outlook Express is not installed properly. It was working fine and I have no memory problems. I have Windows XP.

  Help, please.

  I can't restore to a day of classes, and I can't find the base of messages because OE does not open.

  I tried to do it on my own from your site, but cannot go further.

  Thank you

  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7 , you probably need to remove folders.dbx and OE should start.  After making a backup of your messages and if there is corruption still it would be advisable to go to the file. Identities and together a new identity and then when that works very well, go to file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

• Outlook express will not send emails, but will receive. (see the error message below)

  I get the following error message:

  The connection to the server has failed. Account: ' pop - server.tampabay.rr.com', server: ' smtp - server.tampabay.rr.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 10060, error number: 0x800CCC0E

  My ISP watched my settings via remote access and all settings are correct.  They think it's a problem with outlook express.

  I looked through this and other forums.  My AV is not set to scan outgoing emails.

  My AV is not set to scan outgoing emails.

   
  1. Is it simply to start?
  2. What AV program is installed?
  3. Analysis of the e-mail never activated?
  If 1 & 3 are Yes, then I would suggest you completely remove your AV program and then reinstall it. Do and choose custom installation and remove from the analysis when he he offered e-mail messages. More often than not, disable it fair analysis of e-mails is not good enough.

• Outlook Express does not open

  Cannot open Outlook Express, I get the Outlook Express has encountered a problem (error), and then it stops and goes back to the main screen of windows.

  Folders.dbx is probably damaged.

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

  With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
  Note these possible side effects:
   
  When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.
   

• Help! Outlook Express will not download and wiped out my Inbox. I get the message (SSL) Protocol: Pop3.Port110.Secure: No.Error number: OX800CO:33

  Can someone please help?

  Are you sure that this error message is not 0x800co133?

  Your Inbox is damaged due to become bloated and/or lack of compaction.

  1: view | Current view. Show all Messages is verified?

  2: If Yes to the #1, see if you have an Inbox.bak file in the Recycle Bin of Windows and if so, what is the date of creation?

  3: If Yes to 1 and 2, after the return before doing anything else.

  4: If so #1 and not #2, you will need a tool to recover lost messages if you wish.

• My outlook express will not delete some e-mail, how to fix this?

  I tried to remove a few emails and it won't let me.  I was able to move it to the junk e-mail folder, but not delete it.  I also can't just delete it in the junk e-mail folder.  Any ideas?

  First of all, OE doesn't have a native junk folder. However, I assume that you have the damaged 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.
