Outlook Express 6, doing crazy things ~

I am running Windows XP (which I have no time for her disc) as well as IE 6. My outlook express does things that are crazy. First of all, when I answered or even send e-mail, it happens to my Outbox and it seems that it will not send and I get an error, but no code error not listed for me to research. But I think that it is sent, because people are responding to it. Also, when I get emails in my Inbox, I can't delete them or move them, he said only that a mistake occurred. I don't know how to fix OE. I upgraded to IE 6, thought that would fix it and it didn't. I also installed IE 8 and still no help. Any suggestions?

You have corruption of dbx files.

Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move any message you want to save out deleted items and sent items 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 and remove:

Deleted items.dbx
Sent Items.dbx
Outbox.dbx

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 e-mail in your 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:

  • Mail in Outlook Express 6 does not leave the box shipping and beneficiaries say they receive multiple copies of the same message.

    original title: Outlook Express 6.0

    Recently, when I send an e-mail message by using Outlook Express 6.0 three things happen:

    (1) he does not leave the Outbox, unless I have to go in and manually remove it.

    (2) my report of recipients receiving multiple copies of the same message (for example, received the same email 6 times)

    (3) my sent folder is not updated with the emails I sent.

    I'd appreciate any help that could be offered.

    Thank you!

    Your sent items folder is corrupted.  Move or copy messages from the folder that you want to keep.  Then close OE and delete the file sent items.dbx and outbox.dbx (hidden).  OE will then create new ones, and that should solve the problem.

    Because your files has been corrupted, you might consider backup before they get completely corrupt and in addition, you could go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give you a base of new messages, not corrupted, and you then go to file | Import | Messages and import them from the old identity.

    Original title: Outlook Express recovery.

    After a crash the system and recovery (via Microsoft technician), I can access is no longer my email from Outlook Express files and operation.  I can see all files in the folders, I've had, but they are empty.

    Probably what happened is that the records. dbx file has likely corrupted as a result of the accident. Have you tried leaving Outlook Express when the accident occurred? If so, it was probably at that time that Outlook Express has been folders.dbx compaction. Folders.dbx is the folder that contains your folder structure and parameters.

    You can try the option import in Outlook Express and see if he will bring back your mail in Outlook Express. You will need to use Browse to point Outlook Express in the folder of the store where the corrupt identity. Because you say you can see the folders you must check and note the path of the file to use with browse during the import. I would try to import files simple and not folders.dbx and all subfolders. If you use select all records it after a successful import be warned, you end up with duplicates that it is extremely difficult to eliminate.

    Corruption of folder in Outlook Express has been a constant source of grief for users for years. Steve Cochran, a MSVP, developed a tool to retrieve messages and this works well in most cases. The original tool was DbXtract and Steve created later DbXpress. I used DbXtract, but not of DbXpress. If your attempts to use the file, import fail I suggest you try one of these tools.

    Hello, in

    This can be caused if the Outlook Express message store file is corrupted. I suggest that you rename the file and restart the computer to re-create the file.

    a. Click Start, go to my computer.

    b. navigate through locations

    C:\Windows\Application Data\Outlook Express\ {GUID}

    Or

    C:\Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {GUID} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

    c. right-click on the Folders.dbx file and then click Rename (copy and save this file to another location, in case of failure, you need to replace the original file.)

    d. type folders.old.

    e. launch Outlook Express. This creates a new Folders.dbx file.

    Thank you

I uninstalled McAfee, and now Outlook is not connect properly. I still have a mcAfee firewall to the top. When I open the program, it says it allows and every 60 seconds a message comes up saying "your POP3 serverhas not responded in 60 seconds. Woud you like to wait 60 seconds for the server to respond?
