Outlook express 6.0 will not remove messages from my Inbox

Quite suddenly OE will not delete messages in my Inbox after that I read the using the button Delete 'X' some but it will be no more.  They can be removed by using ctrl-alt-delete.  My boxes of sent and deleted items are almost empty.  This has only become a less of an issue these days.  I'm open to suggestions.

Thank you

Mike

It seems to be a corruption of dbx file. Easy to fix.
 
Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox (if you can) 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:

  • SQL Server Express of 2014 will not remove registry entries when uninstalling

    Hello

    I am responsible for the routine installation of our products in our society. We used to install SQL Server 2008 Express with our facility. We also checked the registry entries to detect if the SQL Server 2008 Express to a specific instance has been installed. When we run the uninstall for our program, we have also uninstalled auf instance. If it was the only forum wihtin SQL Server SQL Server hole has been uninstalled. This works as expected.

    Now, we want to implement the 2014 of SQL Server Express. The installation is successful and everything is working properly. But when we uninstall SQL Server 2014 leaves a large number of entries in the registry. In particular, the entry for the version number:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Microsoft SQL Server\\120\\SQLServer2014\\CurrentVersion\Version

    This makes it difficult to detect if SQL Server 2014 is installed on the system, because SQL Server 2008 uninstall these entries when deleted as expected. OK I can check some folders and files, if they are available, but this does not seem the right way.

    Is this a bug, or are there reasons why the registry entries are not removed after uninstalling?

    Kind regards

  • Outlook express 6 - part email not more folded in the Inbox

    A large number of emails from my Inbox is not folded over since last Thursday (age of less than 23 January 2011 all mails).  For new messages that arrive, I see the number of unread mails (next to Inbox a header) but the message itself is not visible. When you import directory on another computer, the program indicates there are 3000 messages but only 1,000 are really imported and visinle on the other computer.  How can I fix this?   Thank you

    Very often the reception (or any other folder) is corrupted, and the messages are lost.  Often, the space where the messages were suddenly filled with zeros.  This is compounded by antivirus software (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

    The first thing to do is to check the Recycle Bin and the message store (found via Tools |) Options | Maintenance | Advanced | Store folder and its hidden) for the bak files are backups of the dbx can restore files made before compaction of the messages, which, if present you it.  See point 2 on the above page and also www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

    If there is no bak file, then your only chance at recovery is probably my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) which can extract messages from the dbx corrupted files (if they don't fill up with leading zeros) or from the hard drive itself, if the files contain more messages.  Its the only program with this capability.

    In the future, make sure that you back up your messages regularly, as this happens often, especially with files very large dbx.

  • After that installation of Windows 10 cannot remove messages from the Inbox and was told to change my browser.

    I can't delete the emails often. Sometimes if I score one or two to remove it will work. When I have several and click on remove nothing happens. Also, when I delete an element of it is open and then return to my Inbox it is not deleted. I asked the support of Yahoo and the suggestion that came was change my browser, I don't want to do. Can you help me? Thank you.

    I understand that the messages will not be deleted when you manage your webmail in Firefox. I'd be more than happy to help, however I might suggest trying first Safe Mode to ensure that it is not not a hardware acceleration or add on interfering with the operation of the site.

  • Thunderbird does not remove messages from my server of Charter

    When I delete a message it removes the message of my server, so every time I have download for new messages that I receive the new and old messages. After a few days, the download will take 3 or 4 minutes due to the number of messages and eventually it will expire only.
    Then, I go to my Charter account and manually delete each message. Charter said that they do not support Thunderbird, but it is not a server problem

    I guess that's a virus problem. Try to turn off email scanning in your anti virus and see how it works for a day or two. So try again activated. Sometimes these anti virus problems just appear and disappear, they do not like an individual post or something

  • Version 31 will not get messages from the imap without security the value none Server

    I've updated Thunderbird version 24 to 31. My mail server is an imap server and has always worked well. Since I've upgraded to version 31 I can't recover my mail unless the connection security is set to zero and the port is 143. The imap server using SSL/TLS with port 993. It worked for me on the old version of 24, but now it won't.

  • How to remove messages from the Inbox in bulk?

    How can I delete messages received in bulk?  I use Windows Mail/VISTA.

    Yay!  I finally had to remove it with your help!  I chose the original email to remove then scroll down for the final message to remove, but before choosing it, I held down the control and shift together key at the same time, and then I clicked on the last email to delete, then selected the icon to delete (X) at the top and now the shift keys and command down.  It took several minutes to remove 2,000 emails, but I still 16 000 more to go.  I think I'll just delete them all at once... it takes maybe 15 minutes or more to clear them at the same time!  Thank you, thank you!... Now to get my Windows mail to stop appearing in the Security window to enter my username and password for (whenever I have enter them, Windows Mail sent me a few thousand emails duplicate!)  I already deleted and then recreated the accounts, so I hope it works!
