One of the cases registered under disappeared from Outlook Express mail.

Original title: Outlook Express on XP system.

I use Outlook Express on WIN XP system. Recently, one of several under "Saved" mail disappeared (accidentally deleted?) in the list on OE6 files. I checked my HD with Win Explorer and the missing subfolder is always there in C/Doc & Settings/name/Local Settings/object data/identities / {32-char ID} I checked the properties and parameters are the same as all other subfolders and are not hidden.

I tried to import the files using OE6 (file/import / Messages etc) but I get an error message that it cannot access the files because they are either empty (they aren't) or another program is using. The only program that I control which is open is OE6 himself. Although I suspect my part pilot error, I also tried to rename the subfolder on the HD but that did not work.

Another piece of info is that the missing subfolder has both a ".dbx" and a ".bak" hard disk file. It is the only of the subfolders have a file '.bak '. I also have a backup to a flash drive, but he is 6 weeks old and I had a lot of restoration rather the copy on the hard drive because it is updated

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Check first that the missing folder is not in deleted items or a subfolder od another folder.
 
If no joy, create a new folder named saved. Open this folder and then close OE. Drag the folder of the message store. Close and open Windows Explorer and folder reglisser in. Close the record store and open OE.

  • messages disappeared from Outlook Express (Inbox) e-mail account

    Most of my messages "Inbox floder" has simply disappeared from my Outlook Express email.  There were some files with images on them that I really want to come back. I want to know if I can get back them on my PC and if so, how could I do.

    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.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    Recovery tools:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, 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.

    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.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    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. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • messages disappeared from Outlook Express 6 (Inbox) e-mail account

    I was using OE6 and when an Email has been recd in the Inbox without attachment, but with a picture of my Club, I tried to remove it, but IE6 has been suspended. I then tried to close IE6, and it showed that the Inbox did NOT. There was also a pop up screen with a msg at the end of the program. As this screen kept popping up, I continued to press END. Then all emails in the Inbox after the 21/12/2008 simply disappeared. I have no older messages from 2005 until 2008-12-20, but all messages of the 20/12/2008 until 11/09/2011 disappeared. When I open Windows Explorer and checked the storage folder

    C:\Documents and Settings Application Data Data\Identities\ {87D00F43-308F-4F5C-B61A-E86A09D4A4A2} \Microsoft\Outlook Express, local owner

    I think Inbox.dbx watch 1.52 GB and DeletedItems.dbx but the OE6 102DB shows NONE of these msgs.

    Where they could hide and how to recover the same which should appear in OE6?

    Its quite likely that the files got filled with zeros where were the messages.  Often happens when users leave their files get above a few hundred megabytes.  Your 1.52 gigabyte file was a disaster time.

    You can check that recycle it the locker and the message store bak files that are backups of dbx files you want to restore, as appropriate.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1 .  If there is no bak file then your only option is to try to extract the messages from files (which may not contain anything except zeroes--you can try zipping them and if they zip down to nothing, it's what is in the file), or if they are no longer in the files then DBXpress has an exclusive excerpt from disc feature that could get back them (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) hard disk directly.

    In the future, it makes sense to keep the size of dbx files below a few hundred megabytes and backup frequently as this happens to OE users on a daily basis.

  • The 'Home' banner has disappeared from windows live mail how do I get it back

    How can I get the banner of home return to the opening page of windows live mail?

    Looks like you've cut the Ribbon.

    Open WLMail, along the upper left corner, you have some icons if you move the pointer over it, generally: new ' 'response', 'update all' 'customize the Quick Access toolbar. Click on 'Customize Quick Access toolbar' and at the bottom of the list, uncheck the box "cut the Ribbon".

    Hopefully that should get it back.

  • I've lost the ability to remove the messages from Outlook Express

    I lost the ability to delete messages from Outlook Express shipped with Windows XP. Does anyone know how to fix this please?

    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.

  • How to migrate from Outlook Express to Thunderbird?

    I'm moving from a Windows XP computer to a new computer with Win7. Do I first move from Outlook Express to Thunderbird on the old machine (and what is the procedure?) and migrate them to the new, or configure Thunderbird to the new and export data from Outlook Express from the old machine? Thank you.

    Hi Jerryg,
    After reading your query on how to Outlook Express to convert Thunderbird, I searched on the web. Finally, I have concluded that there is no manual method to convert Outlook Express messages in MBOX file. This process can be done in two phases, which are:

  • The address bar has disappeared from the top of a tab object that I opened. How can I get it back?

    The address bar has disappeared from the top of any tab, I opened, so there is nowhere to enter a web address. Could I have accidentally made it happen? How can I get that back?

    Just to be clear, it is not on the tab bar is? (It's the new style in Firefox 4 and 5).

    To show or hide the toolbars, you can use the old view menu.

    If you have the orange Firefox button, press the Alt key to temporarily show the classic menu bar.

    Menu view > toolbars > check the Navigation bar

    If you view the navigation toolbar, but it is incomplete or damaged, you can reset your toolbars.

    Menu view > toolbars > customize

    In the great dialog box with the icons, to the bottom, click on restore by default.
