• My Outlook Express Mail 'Delete' does not work. I have 1600 emails in my Outlook Express and I can't delete them!

  For the last week, I was not able to use my function 'Delete' on my Outlook Express.  I have 1600 mails in my 'box' and I need to remove them, but can't.  I don't know how to solve this problem.  Hope someone can help me.

  Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.

  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 files of user OE (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 file for deleted items 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.

  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:

  And backup often.

• Message from Outlook Express 6 sent does not close

  All of a sudden, when I compose or reply to a message and then click on send, the message remains on the screen, as if it has not been sent.  When I open the sent items folder, the message was sent.

  Any ideas what is the cause?

  It could be due to corruption, or it could be due to antivirus software.  For the first time, you can go to file | Identities and set up a new identity and then, once that is working very well, go to file | Import | Messages and import them from the old identity.  For the potential problem of the antivirus, see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 and you can also configure a new identity in this case, once you have disabled any features e-mail scanning.

• Hanging problam in outlook express. How does it solve?

  Mr President.

  When I open my outlook express. I'm not shift work. hang my outlook express. How does it solve?

  This is a very vague description, but I'm guessing that Folders.dbx is corrupt.
   
   
  In Windows XP, the files of user OE (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.
   
  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
   
  With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

  Have I lost the files of Outlook Express completely or is there a way that I can import them in the same way that e-mail came? My old computer died (power source grilled or something like that). I still have it, but no way to turn it on.
