• I have Outlook Express with 2 identities, but all emails are going to the 2nd identity. How to restore the original identity?

  A month ago I received an error message trying to download emails to my primary identity.

  "An unknown error has occurred. "Account: 'mail.optusnet.com.au', server: 'mail.optusnet.com.au', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133.

  1. The error message indicates a corrupt Inbox.
  2. Messages if even received any at least in the second ID, in tools | Accounts, you also have the first account ID listed. First fix the Inbox.
   
   
  Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.
   
  Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.
   
  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 | View.
   
  With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
   
  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.
   
  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.

  In addition to the problem that is described in this article with temporary files, Outlook Express can have an empty message, if Internet Explorer is configured to display, coding for automatic selection. If so, disable the automatic selection in Internet Explorer and choose rather Western European (ISO). If your program has an option to read HTML messages as plain text, the HTML version of the message may appear as an ATT0001. HTM attachment (the number may vary).

• 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.

• Invisible messages to Outlook Express 6 after failure "compact all folders.

  I start Outlook Express 6 XP. On closing yesterday that I was invited to compact the folders - said yes, but he hung up at halfway and locked the PC and I finally had to force a power down. PC started today to find any message in most folders, including the Inbox. DBX files are visible and of reasonable size, and their properties say they are those that are used by OE, but show in OE as "There is no evidence at this point of view". Help, please, anyone?

  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? :
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
   
  Why mail disappears:
  http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
   
  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.
   
  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:

• Outlook Express sent folder keeps empty ALL my e-mail sent. Help!

  Hello - in the last month that my sent folder Outlook Express has been completely emptied twice. It is NOT something that I have reaquested, nor is it something that would be easily done accidentally, once again twice. I got emails dating back years. I noticed that my Outlook Express has become a newer or different, as well. If I create a new email I now have tabs down to offering Edit, Source and preview. I HOPE someone knows what's going on, and if the former sent is stored somewhere and can be restored. In addition, I want to stop happening. I am grateful for the assistance of those in the know! If possible, please answer to the * address email is removed from the privacy * thank you!

  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.

• 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.

• my outlook express folders to go and how can I get back them?

  Did a reinstall of XP home and then put upgraded to Office 2007 (and very sorry I did).  Somewhere in the process of my outlook express window is devoid of everything except the last incoming messages.  I've been in the menus and found no option to show or does not show files (i.e. sent, drafts, trash, etc.). I have noticed similar issues, but they seem to relate to lose existing e-mail stores, either incoming or outgoing.  I'm looking for the structure of the folder itself.

  BINGO!  That's all, Bruce.  I have never been in the subdirectory of layout and would not have thought to look there.  Now, another question.  I installed the backup utility and used a number of times before reinstall, save on a portable hard drive.  However, when I go in the restore section, the file structure seems foreign to me and not completed.  Do you know where I can find the old dbx files stored?  Maybe I can find the old emails as well as the structure of file...?
