• Pointer/file missing in Outlook Express 6? Not compact or export.

  Under XP with Outlook Express 6. Msgs compacting works (until the last folder?) and then said terminte because the file is in use.  Does not say which folder.  I have not opened - I know.  Do not use to do this.  Have auto update so not sure when something has been corrupted.

  This may be related to another problem.

  When I tried to export these msg on a Vista platform I got msg that an Outlook file is missing.  But the attempt to export error msg does not say which file is missing.

  Any suggestions?

  +++ More details: +++

  Thanks for the quick response.

  I'm the compaction of the command prompt.

  When you say "Click Outlook Express at the top of the folder hierarchy" - How do you get to this point?

  If I can get the Outlook Express on the XP machine compacted, then want to export these message (I have thousands hundreds stored in folders) so I can import then to a Vista machine (my more recent)

  You are compacting via the guest? Try it manually. There is a bug in SP3 that you should have installed years ago which makes the compaction via the quickie on Folders.dbx. You can see what folder it crashes on simply by moving this dialog box from the road entering the blue banner at the top.

  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.

  Outlook Express does not work under Vista and Outlook is a totally different program, so that the problem is not related and not even on the same machine.

• How to get outlook express to stop asking Compact messages

  How can I get outlook express to stop asking Compact messages

  * If you use not OE, or you leave compact and always see command prompt, post-bac. You have one from different then I wil describe.*

  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact

  Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

  Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

  See:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
  http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

  If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

  For more information, see the information framed in red here:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. 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.

  And backup often.

• Outlook express asks me to compact files,.

  Outlook express asks me to compact files, even if I left him he keeps asking more and more every 10-20 min no matter how many times I left it compact and files it ask me to do it again

  Other programs can cause this.  If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, go to control panel | Indexing options (I think that's where he is) and disable indexing courses OE.  If this doesn't fix it, then its another program.

  I understand that before you download Microsoft Office Professional 2010, you must uninstall previous versions of Outlook.  I use Outlook Express 6.  When I look in Add/Remove, it isn't here. How to uninstall this version?

  I have Outlook Express 6. When I want to fix anything, the attachment box appears in a small... with only 6-8 files/folders showing both.  How to adjust the size of the box?  There is no minimize mazimize click or angle to slide.  It used to be adjustable, but no more.  Help?

  Like when you open a new message window and either click the button attach or insert | Attachment? I don't ever remember being resizable or a very large box. Change the display of list will give you a bit more, but that's all.

• 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.

  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:

• I have Outlook Express 6. When I try to send/receive my mail I get this error: Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133 can anyone help with this please

  I went and read a few articles on this I tried to delete the Folders.dbx, renamed server, flip pass and username. I just can't go there. Can anyone help on this.

  Thank you

  It isn't Folders.dbx which is screwed, it's 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.
   
  General precautions for Outlook Express:
   
  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.

• Outlook Express 6.0 when I send an email, it seems that it does not completely turn off but it does and everytime I open OE, it turns off again and again and again, etc. Any ideas? Thank you

  I send an email, it does not completely turn off. A message that says that the task had not been completed, but no error message appears. The email goes off, and whenever I open OE it turns off again and again and again, etc. Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  You have the apparent corruption of dbx files, but an easy solution.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  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 DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  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.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  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.

  Thanks for your reply.
  I tried everything in this thread.
  I don't use IE as a matter of personal choice.
  In the many years I have used Outlook Express and Firefox, I have NEVER experienced this problem until today.
  I met Microsoft difficulty It Center.
  I think I must have clicked something on this site (unintentionally and coincidentally, I'm sure).
  Anyway. hypertext links seem to work now.

• I want to stop Outlook express from my mail compaction.

  He keeps asking to be compacted even after that I allow him to compact. When I say 'ok, compact' it takes less than 10 seconds to do. Just, it began to make the request in the last 3 days and keep praying even when I allow it.  Every 10 minutes on average.

  OK done, only now indexing 'Documents and Settings '.  What does when it is indexing? Must it be indexing anything at all or something else?

  If you use it, you don't need it at all. Read what he can do here.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/choose/windowssearch4.mspx

  I have myself no use for him.

  Is now OK OE? It is the most important issue.
