• Unable to display all unread messages in Outlook Express after running "compating" and also update Symantec AV.

  Original title: how to repair Outlook Express.

  Until recently, when I open Oulook Express, I'd get a screen telling me how many emails that are UNREAD.  I would then click the UNREAD and I'd get a panel showing all the emails in the order in which they came from my ISP.  Now, however, when I open OUTLOOK EXPRESS, I get immediately the last email rec'vd and the only way I can see others, is to remove the one that is open.  I am running XP-Professional and anti-virus from Symantec.  This change seemed to arise as a result of a routine compaction and update my Symantec anti-virus.  I tried to 'uninstall' OUTLOOK EXPRESS by unchecking in 'Add/Remove Windows components' and then 'install' again by checking the box, but he always reacts the same way.  Is it possible that OUTLOOK EXPRESS has somehow been corrupted?  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  OE uncheck in Add/Remove removes only the access and nothing else. Compaction is a necessary process and unless you have actually lost messages, I doubt it was that. It is more likely Symantec which is least friendly OE AV program there. All that said, follow these steps.
   
  1: view | Current view. Make sure Show all Messages is the only option that is checked.
   
  2: Try in a new identity. You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.
   
  Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

• Outlook Express 6, Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003 print incomplete emails if IE8 is installed.

  The right side of the first page of a printed email from Outlook Express 6, Outlook 2000, or Outlook 2003 is truncated on a computer that is running Windows XP SP3 with Internet Explorer 8 is installed.  E-mails containing tables are specifically affected, but it may be any other emails as well. This problem is easily reproducible on any XP machine running IE8 and any version of outlook prior to 2007. It seems that Microsoft has stopped using the IE from Outlook 2007 print engine. One of these same machines that have this problem, if you uninstall IE8 and go back to IE7, the problem goes away.

  I searched all over the web trying to solve this problem. It seems that there is some workaround solutions, but not a solution for this problem for XP users. Microsoft has released a fix for this EXACT problem for users of Windows Vista and Windows 7. This hotfix will not install on a XP system. The link to the fix is here:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/980333

  There is another thread on this topic in forum windows 7:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/InternetExplorer/thread/8c629797-DB1C-470C-92af-015e4ea03110

  The question in this thread has been resolved with the patch that I mentioned above, but when joined XP users, it was recommended that someone start a new thread about this in XP. I did now and am waiting for a response from Microsoft.

  Possible temporary solutions (for those of you are experiencing this problem):

  1 - back to IE7 (I'm not an acceptable solution in the enterprise environment).

  2. after the opening of the email, go to the file and save it as an html file. Open the HTML in ie8 or your favorite browser and print from there.

  3 - the upgrade to Office 2007 or 2010 (if I wanted to spend the money on a new product, I would. However, I refuse to do that simply because an old version, I bought doesn't work anymore.

  Success!

  So, this is a summary of what I've done:

  1 has begun with an installation of XP SP3 updated with IE8 installed. At this point, I have the right margin bug in OE6.
  2. uninstalled the latest update of security for IE8, which to this day is KB2559049. Restarted.
  3. (you may need to perform this step in Mode safe) renamed ieframe.dll in C:\Windows\System32 ieframe.old. Ieframe.dll manually copy the LDR version in the second most recent Cumulative Security Update for IE8, which, as of this writing is KB2530548 in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. That version LDR is located at C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB2530548-IE8\SP3QFE and is the version 8.00.6001.23165(longhorn_ie8_ldr.110420-1800). Restarted.
  4. check that the right margin bug is now fixed. Windows Update told me that the most recent Cumulative Security Update for IE8, KB2559049, was now available to the installation, I did. Restarted.
  5. check the ieframe.dll version that is now in my C:\Windows\System32 folder and it is 8.00.6001.23192(longhorn_ie8_ldr.110617-1815) as hoped. Confirmed that the bug of the right margin is always fixed.

  This procedure does 2 things that just copies the LDR latest version updated security in the System32 folder would not prove it with. :

  (A) this shows that manual copy of the dll LDR of security Cumulative Update and then apply the next update will keep the ieframe.dll on the LDR track. There is no need to worry that the next update replace with the MDM (non-hotfix) version.

  (B) there was a bunch of other DLLs that have been on the LDR track when KB2559049 has been reinstalled, it seems that the ieframe.dll LDR can have dependencies on other DLLs being also in the LDR branch, or vice versa. Simply having the LDR ieframe.dll since the 2nd upgrade newer in the System32 folder when you install the latest, due to the most recent update to other dll LDR trace. This includes iepeers.dll, ieproxy.dll, iertutil.dll, c:\windows\system32\msfeeds.dll, wininet.dll, and xpshims.dll (and probably others). Makes me conclude that my method (steps 1-4 above) is greater than the fair copy in the LDR new dll for ieframe.dll, since the other dependant dll LDR manually will be installed using my method.

• Outlook Express 6 will open and operated with IE8?

  I've been using Outlook Express 6 with IE8 until recently, but now OE6 will not open. I get a label "unresponsive" in the title of the window, and the program does not open. What can I do to watch my e-mail files that have been downloaded using OE6? I can convert them to a different mail program without having to open OE6? Any ideas would be appreciated.

  IE8 has nothing to do with your problem. Close OE and delete the message store Folders.dbx and see if that fixes it.

  Location of the base of messages

  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

  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.

  Find and Remove Folders.dbx. A new Folders.dbx file will be created when you open OE. Restart first.

  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. Please understand that you will lose the mail directory structure, all the discussion lists and all synchronization options and message rules will probably have to be edited.

  Outlook Express questions should be asked here in the future.

• October 11, 2011 updated catchy so long delays for IE8 and Outlook Express

  After you install Microsoft Updates on October 11, 2011, after a system reboot, Internet explore 8 and Outlook Express experience long delays before starting. During this period, the Task Manager is also locked, so I don't see what process is at the origin of the problem.

  I narrowed down it to KB2564958 or KB2592799.

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the KB2564958 and the KB2592799 and the problem disappeared.

• With the help of old Windows CD to install the optional component deleted Outlook Express and I need to get it back!

  We have received a Windows XP laptop from a friend and use Outlook Express for e-mail. We had a number of other things such as pilots with the laptop but not the Windows CD.  Then we wanted to reduce the size of a jpg image and I wanted to use MS Photo Editor to do what I then read on the Microsoft site that I could get by installing from any Windows CD.  Therefore, I used an old Windows XP CD from another PC, choose to install an optional component and chose as accessories to the next screen, ensure that all other options were struck down, assuming that so they would simply not be installed.  One of them was Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.  Instead of THIS the wizard DELETED Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.  When I tried to get him back by checking these options, asked me for the 2nd day of the original installation CD - which of course, I did not!  I have managed to re - download IE8 from Microsoft Download site, but of course do that for Outlook Express - and we don't have Office on this computer: (.)  Help!  (a) is it possible to reverse this process to remove/uninstall Outlook Express? (b) we now lost all our emails? (c) I already tried to go back to a previous good configuration, but that has not worked.

  Thank you in advance for advice, answers or help.

  First, make sure that OE has actually disappeared.  Go to start | Run and paste this and see if OE starts:

  "c:\program files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe".

  Including the quotes and see if OE starts.  Very often "withdrawal" OE removes just the shortcut to it.

  If this does not work, you can try reinstalling XP SP3 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/learn-how-to-install-windows-xp-service-pack-3-sp3), but you should probably uninstall IE8 first and then reinstall it later.

  You can also go to the c:\windows\inf directory and locate the msoe5.inf file and right-click on it and choose Install and see if that fixes things.

  See if that works.

  John,
  Are you sure you search after clicking on "Add / Remove Windows components.
  The point of the option to be clicked is located in the left panel of the window!
   
  Perhaps your search item in the programs installed (where you have your stuff personal, but also many things from Microsoft.
   
  It can take anyone who is there looking and can not find Outlook Express.
   
  By elsewhere, just let Outlook Express only is not a big problem.
  It won't take much of your disk space.

• How can I get larger fonts and change the background color in Outlook Express, a light blue to improve my vision

  original title: vision problems.  How can I get bigger fonts in incoming messages on Outlook Express?  How can I change the background color in Outlook Express for a light blue to improve my vision of the messages.e

  I have problems with my vision.  How the larger font for messages in Outlook Express so that I can see them?  Also how can I make the background is easier on my eyes.  As a light blue or something.  Thank you.

  You can change the font size of incoming emails by going to the Tools menu in Outlook Express and selecting Options.  Open the read tab, and then click the fonts option.  In the fonts window, click on font size and make your selection.  I always click OK, then apply and OK to be sure change stick.  You may close OE and then reopen it for the change to take effect.

  I don't know of any way to change the background color of the e-mails received.  I'm sure someone will have an answer for this procedure.

• I can ONLY connect to the internet with IE7 and Outlook Express

  I have Win XP SP3, home wired network, Netgear router, cable internet, Lenovo desktop.
  I can run IE 7 and Outlook Express and connect to the internet very well with these.  However, I can not connect using FireFox.  Windows Update returns an error and does NOT connect to scan my computer and display the necessary updates.  I just installed tax program this year HR CD block and it is unable to connect to internet to download the updates.  I used IE7 to go to the web site of the tax program to download the update manually, but it doesn't connect either.  I also can't complete installation OF Adobe (Digital Editions) program because it must connect to the internet in order to make a registration.

  I have disabled the Windows Firewall, do not have a configured proxy.  So, I can browse the internet with IE7 and get email with Outlook express.  I went on the site from Google Chrome to try to download it and install it that (using IE7 of course), but after I press the "Download" button, IE7 says that it cannot connect to perform the download.

  I scanned this forum and not seen similar symptoms that would allow me to reach a solution.  Everyone knows about this issue and how to resolve?

  P.S. I have two other laptops Win XP which CAN completely connect to internet with IE and Firefox via the same router and the modem cable.

  I tried trojan remover and none of the things in the menu utils found any problems.

  But it turns out that my problem was a hidden/partial copy of Symantec Client Firewall that I thought was deleted.  Over the months some programs had been updated and Symantec didn't know about them, so it was blocking their access: FROM Adobe, HR Block, IE8, Firefox, etc.  Given that I have not seen it listed in the start menu and it was not listed in Add/Remove Programs, I didn't have to try to remove it.  And it was not poping up to tell me of a new program attempts to access the Internet.

  I used the Symantec tool to remove all THE stuff of Symantec and it cleared up my connection problems.  I then reinstalled Symantec Client Security (antivirus and firewall) and turned off the Windows Firewall.

• Outlook Express works in Vista compatibility mode in another way?

  Hello

  Can I get Outlook Express to run in 32-bit Vista Business SP1 somehow?

  I checked the forums (positions) and the Windows Compatibility Center (who says OE is not compatible, but only mentions Win 7 and 8 and there is no alternative) but I received no answer.  Most of the motions deal with forward messages from OE to new forms of e-mail programs.
  In a software engineering job MS comes to wane answer:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-hardware/Windows-Live-Mail-versus-Outlook-Express-in-Vista/4aa286c7-C16F-4f07-86f1-785e48ceb42e

  I am faced with a dilemma.  My laptop has come back for repairs and a new drive because HARD has been adjusted requires a new installation of the OS.  By default, it starts in Vista Business SP1, but it also comes with the downgrade to XP Pro.  When I first bought the machine, a little more than 3 years ago, I opted for the downgrade.

  I have dealt with an earlier version of file not compatible with Vista and versions later (by converting documents to PDF format) and I tested Lotus 1-2-3 and millennial Organizer in Win 7 and 8, in which they work.  On this basis, I suppose they will work in Vista.

  Now my major obstacle to go to Vista's OE.  I still have to test if my "marked as unread" and red flag messages will export successfully (without losing their 'flags') to MS Outlook or, preferably Thunderbird, but in the meantime I am facing decide to go with Vista or take the road to downgrade to Vista.

  I know in Win 7, it is a VM mode or compatibility, but is there something in the Vista Business?

  Thanks much for any help.

  There is a hack to use Vista Windows Mail in Win7. There is no download or hack to get OE to work under Vista.

  Vista Windows Mail is almost identical to the OE. You cannot use who?

• what I set thunderbird as my default to receive my email here and not in my old outlook express account?

  I do not see my new email here, how does it express Outlook, what I set as my default here?

  Designating a default mail client has no meaning for the reception of messages.

  Most likely your account is a pop POP is usually configured to delete messages from the server. If Outlook get message first, he will be gone from the server so you will not be able to get more in Thunderbird.

  If you want to display messages in two e-mail clients to configure one to leave messages on the server.

  Having said that, what is the point running times, Outlook Express and Thunderbird?
