• OE6 in XP, compaction of the lost files all emails. Anyone else done this?

  Using Outlook Express 6 with Win XP I compacted files as requested. next time, I used email all old messages were gone and never seen again. I've never used 'compact the file"once again - it was a disaster. Anyone else done this?

  If you compact, you will always lose messages at any given time.
   
   
  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

  Recovery methods:
   
  If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
   
  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
   
  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 .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
   
  
  Note: If you have new messages in the folder you are go restore, move them to a folder first created user, or they will be lost. They can be moved once the old posts have been restored.
   
  
  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
   
   
  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
   
   
  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
   
  
  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
   
   
  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.

  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
   
  
  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
   
  
  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.

• How can I make less frequent Outlook Express folder compaction obligation? I changed my registry to zero

  I get the popup once abount a day.  He repeats all the few minutes unless I stop what I'm doing and allow to compact the folders.  How can I reduce the frequency of the required compaction area?

  Search Windows supplied with XP.  Nero Scout has not been installed.  I don't want to delete OE.  I prefer to keep the research.  I tried the regedit to zero, but that has not helped.  The timing of the frequent compacts is not related to the installation of SP3, because I had a lot of time, and the question of compaction is of more recent origin.

  Do not get rid of Windows Search, just to make an adjustment. You must tell Windows Search to stop indexing OE.

  Windows Search. Set Desktop Search Options

  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.

• How to improve the performance of compact

  Hello
  
  I have a question about the scale of the DB-> compact:
  
  My setup is pretty simple: I have a 32 environments with 512 MB of memory cache and 5 databases each. The largest database is about 8 GB and is 66% full. My application is running nonstop, and I would like to recover my database disk space.
  
  So I added a code that manually compact the large database step by step (about 100 pages of 64K at each stage) and using 90% fillpercent, but I found that compact made a lot of IO and strongly affected the performance of my application...
  
  The only solution I've found so far is to increase the cache to 3 GB for EPS be compacted; then my application works normally, but as I can not afford this amount of memory, I have the following questions:
  
  -Why compact requires it hiding? fact that many IOs?
  Is there another way that does not involve it hiding?
  -I am running Berkeley DB 4.7.25 on FreeBSD. It would be upgraded to a newer version?
  
  Any comments that could help me understand why things are so would be much appreciated.
  Well well, thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Compaction of the database can be an intensive operation of e/s very like data must be moved between pages of database, dirty pages in the cache must be flushed to disk in order to have enough room for all of the pages required by the compaction to stay in the pool of buffers etc.
  There are strategies to reduce the impact of the I/O. below are a series of suggestions you might try:

  1. If you can upgrade to the latest version of Berkeley DB, then you should do it. There was a lot of improvements and bug fixes in the code of compaction. Download the latest version of BDB hereproduction.

  2. When do the compaction of a database open in a transactional environment compact without a transaction explicitly to the DB-> compact() method, that is, using a txnid NULL pointer. In this case, the operation will implicitly be transaction protected using several transactions. These transactions will be engaged periodically to avoid locking large sections of the tree. Encountered blockages cause the compacting operation to be retried from the point of the last committed transaction. Compact does not keep the pages it scans locked. Any page which doesn't have to be updated is unlocked immediately. BDB locked pages that are below a page single parent from the leaf level only and does not start the free list pages when removing them from the file. only the metadata page will be locked.

  3. in execution of compaction in order to free up space and return the empty database pages in the file system, it is generally recommended to repeat the compact with a lower compact_fillpercent. The following output statistics fields in the structure DB_COMPACT, compact_pages_truncated and compact_pages_free should be reviewed to determine if there is a point, continuing to run the compaction with the same compact_fillpercent, or if a lower compact_fillpercent should be used. If the values are strict positive you then call DB-> compact with the same compact_fillpercent (and specify the DB_FREE_SPACE flag).
  The compact algorithm allows a single pass on the pages of the database; pages so not empty at the end of the file will prevent the free pages (which are placed on the free list) to be returned to the file system.

  4. If you can logically split your database into sections of pairs of key/data based on the values of the keys, you can then perform compaction only on certain parts of the database. Use the start and stop keys when you make the call to DB-> compact() .

  5. you can check the statistics of pool memory to see if your cache is performing. Refer to the documentation section by selecting a cache size . It contributes generally to, especially when you make an optimal compaction, to increase the size of the cache.

  6 perform the compact operation when there is no intensive writing in the database activity, in other words, when the other threads of control are not written to the database (or when this activity is moderate to low).

  7. use the pool of submissions flowing by calling DB_ENV-> memp_trickle() to try to keep a certain percentage of pages in the cache of cleanliness.

  Kind regards

• The keyboard delete key deletes 2 emails instead of one.

  How to prevent two emails being deleted by hitting the DELETE key on the keyboard, or delete button inside the app.
  Second message disappears from the Inbox automatically after very short time, the two go directly in the trash.
  Replace the mouse or the keyboard makes no difference. (btw are brand new and work flawlessly in all applications, no double clicks).

  Your feedback is very much appreciated.

  I believe that the error is finally fixed. It is always difficult to determine the cause.
  Clearing .msf files and mailbox compacting has not made a difference although in some situations it may be useful.
  After delete account, delete all profiles folders and files, add new account, switching between "move this folder" and "Just mark as deleted" in "server settings->when I delete a message" twice, the message download limit, restart and remove the limit applied work.
  On a side note, Inbox, and other records were not synchronized properly initially.
  Weird, the problem was only one of the many other accounts that Thunderbird is connected.
  Looks like a minor bug, even if for now the problem seems to have disappeared.

• 6 Express Outlook popup when I first load XP prompts to "Compact Messages." I do not use OE6.

  In the last week or so when I first load XP I get the most annoying popup stating "to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.  This can take up to a few minutes"my options are"OK"or"Cancel ".

  I'm sure I know what compression of messages is on about, but I'm not under Outlook Express, I am running Outlook 2000.  I can't find where to disable this "friendly reminder" in OE6, or Outlook 2000.

  Then why this pop-up box is just now appearing and how can I prevent the popping it up.  It really starts to annoy me.

  I did some research on how to STOP, but obviously have not found the answer.  In fact this boredom made me create a Windows Live account, just so that I could post a question here.

  complain, complain...

  Thank you

  Scott

  You're welcome, Scott.  I don't know why the message started appearing, but:

  • Because we say "to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages...". ", it comes from Outlook Express.
  • By clicking on 'OK' could not to hurt and could solve the problem.
  • Running Outlook Express and compaction manually couldn't hurt and could solve the problem.

  To ensure that this does not affect Outlook 2000, back up first to the top of your Outlook 2000 message store.

• There is still a huge problem of compaction of the mailboxes

  Once more I heard a person in great distress because Thunderbird removed some critical mail messages. In this case they went to get the mail and gave him a TB ALERT, and told him he had no place in her dressing room IN (there was a huge 20 messages). Thinking that the file was too big (which is a logical deduction of a message "no more room") it compacted his IN box and then there were 4 messages. Other messages have disappeared.

  And worse, all the information on the forums are explanations and the defence of TB - as if it was his fault to be compacted, not backup or (my favorite) - an article that says TB is just do what it says to do.

  When we combine this with all the traffic of other message here and on other sites about the loss of emails the only thing that is clear is that the modules dealing with indexing and compacting of the mailboxes are tragically flawed. Unfortunately and that's the problem with free software #1 - product builders are doing it for ego, no money, so once they decided that their program is fair and users are mistaken - there it sits, cast in concrete.

  Thunderbird has been and is still a leader in form and features but lose data user - for ANY reason-EVER - is and will always be the fault of the developer and no - EVER - users shouldn't have to change its behavior in order to avoid a problem that the developer does not know how to fix.

  Of course, there are a solutions - each a work-around to avoid a bug.

  As an explantion, I can offer this info.
  Emails are not stored in individual files.
  They are stored in files mbox, an e-mail listed after another in the order they have been downloaded. If all emails in an Inbox folder, as shown in the folders pane are all in one Inbox file.
  When you choose to delete a message, this message is "marked as deleted" and your Visual point of view, it is removed from the Inbox folder in the folders pane and reappears in the folder "Deleted".
  In reality, it is always in the Inbox just "marked as deleted.
  When you compact the file, these emails "marked as deleted" are deleted, thus creating more space and store the file.
  If you do not compact the folder on a frequent basis, the file gets more and wider and at some point may be damaged due to lack of maintenance. Then Thunderbird is perhaps not in a position to say where there is a clear end of the deleted section, therefore resulting in losing a good email.

  So, as all documents etc. on your computer, you must do a few basic things to reduce the risk of data loss.

  Use the information you learned in the link "keep it works."
  Use the Inbox folder as a folder, Inbox, and not as a general storage.
  Compact records on a regular basis.
  Create backups on a regular basis.
  "Options of the Archive"allows to reduce the size of the files, including the "Sent" folder.
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/archived-messages?ESAB=a & s = Archive + options & r = 0 & s = ACE
  Archived files are always in the profile Thunderbird and always as accessible and also require backup.

  Losing emails is a pain and can be troublesome say the least.
  But if you follow the guidelines, then, you reduce the risk of experiencing a problem.
  I've manually compress my inbox every day that I will probably have a dozen deleted messages.
  I save every month and leave emails on the server for a month, then only between the two, anyway to lose, I can probably recover most if not all emails.

  If all goes well, this explains what has likely occurred and how to manage things so that in the future, you are less likely to suffer from corrupt files and more likely that you have a loss, there is a backup plan that you can use.

• Compacting folders in OE6 seems corrupt

  I work to stabilize the system OE6 to my wife before the cloning of a new system and the migration to Outlook. The problem is that OE will ask compact folders to closing it. If I leave it, never complete, requiring a forced nearby. Then the DBX files are corrupt and the messages are lost. (I once had this loss and fear now allow any compacting folders, even if this seems to be required servicing for OE users). As a result, I'm afraid to leave records to compact.

  If I can clone OE to another system (of security), then I have matter the OE message store in Outlook (in a PST file) and, finally, bid farewell to OE6 forever.

  Any offer of help or pointing me to resources of knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

  Compaction hangs on Folders.dbx after installation of the SP3 for XP
   
  It is a known problem and will never be solved. As a result, compact your folders manually. The counter will be reset, and a compact manual won't hang it.
   
  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.
   
  If you have the habit of compaction before 100th closing, (i.e. once a week or more), you will never see the prompt again.
   
  ********************
   
  Since your experience of losing messages, did you start backup OE? This freeware tool backs up everything on OE in seconds. Ignore what is written in red. Which refers to another program.

• Z3 Compact - component quality is questionable!

  Bought my Z3 compact at the end of June 2015 - it worked for 2 months before I had to send in change of motherboard. Repair order: CF, bat, BC, SH all mean! He Got back-end of September and now: no back button, NO drop-down menu which indicates a digitalizer failure! Try the menu drop down happens with: research applications. One after one, it seems that components main fail in some alarming time. Phone looks like new, never been in the water, never fell. SONY says they have excellent "build quality", but their 'quality of the component' seems rather questionable, in my trash ordinary notice! Got a ' last ticket number: 1-25642409238, however as not expected, no response from local (Malaysia) service and support. My last experience with that time is reckoned that Local service is as bad as the quality of the component. The main reason I bought the Z3 was the good experience I had with my old Sony - Ericsson Xperia Active, that still works, but hard to read in daylight and its "waterproofing" screen. Fortunately, the competitors have improved their sealing intant - off to get another brand?

  So acceptable as a 'solution', I am not sure, let me call you a "concludes" in this case.  Finally got the replacement phone today - 2 days before the expeirs of warranty! I hope that the end of my appearance on this forum!

• A few questions about my new Z5 Compact camera

  A few days ago I bought the Xperia Z5 Compact (and updated the marshmallow) to replace my Z1 Compact and meanwhile read the manual and looked into the camera settings. Now I have 2 questions about the camera.

  (1) according to this manual, it takes an option to 'adjust the color and brightness manually. I rember having seen this option once in the form of 2 sliders, but now I cannot reproduce it more and find more options in the settings. What should I do wrong or overlooking?

  (2) I noticed that I can manually put only iso for resolution of 8 MP or less. When I put a 20 MP resolution, the iso setting is grayed and automatically the value. Is this a normal behavior?

  Thanks in advance for the answers.

  Hi @Rijnton,

  I just tested this on my Xperia X but it runs on Android M, it should be similar to the Z5 Compact (although there may be some differences).

  Color and brightness options may not be available in manual mode, but are for higher Auto and video.

  

  

• Transfer or backup of the mailboxes of OE6 & filters

  Well, if you have formatted, my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) has an extract from disk function and if the messages are still on the disk, it will recover them.  When you format a disk, it does not erase the data, unless he crushes it, so there is a good chance that some messages are still there, and DBXpress will ignore the file system and retrieve them from the disk, if they are.

• Question of Tethering USB Compact z5

  When USB tethering my Dell i3 Chromebook for my compact z5, I consume content, but updates are currently broken.  (' Help and about '-> 'On Chrome OS'-> ' find and apply updates). When an update is available, it simply indicates that attached to the Z5c.  When I disconnect the service modem and connect to the local wifi, it works very well.

  Does the Z5c block certain types of data or traffic over the attachment? I don't think that I had this problem with my old phone (Moto X 2013) Android.

• Question of blackBerry Smartphones with e-mail sent to Gmail not checked in the Blackberry mailbox

  Hi all

  I just got my first Blackberry. I added a box to the letters for my Gmail account on my blackberry, using the options-> e-mail settings. It works great, it checks incoming emails almost instantly. However, I have another email address which will be forwarded to this specific Gmail address and those forwarded emails are not checked on my blackberry (they do not show upward).
  I see these emails on the Web from Gmail and Thunderbird page, but not on my Blackberry.

  I installed the gmail app, but I really don't want to use it.

  Any suggestions of how to make emails transferred to my gmail account appear on my box of blackberry mailbox?

  Thank you!

  Hmmm... very strange indeed...

  The filter, btw, being inside the ENCORE... not within GMail... see this KB:

  • KB04558 Add a filter to a BlackBerry Internet Service account

  If you start a new message on the account of this source (not striker... a new email) sent to your GMail account, it happens on your BB?

  Similarly, if you do a manual on this source accont to GMail, which will happen on the BB?
