  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.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden.

  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.

• Outlook Express frozen in receive mode

  Outlook Express is emails 'receiver 1 180', but was frozen for days in this mode. Any ideas on how to unlock the queue?

  If it is frozen on message #1? The message is damaged or too big. Close OE and log on to your site server Web-based e-mail and delete the message #1. Open OE and the rest should download very well. Bruce Hagen

• Outlook express not Resonding

  OE homepage seems to be frozen or in suspend mode and don't answer not anywhere on the page and leaves me with an hourglass. However. I use OE for send a web page off the images net or email of my photo file. I tried to not uninstall IE no chance that it won't let me uninstall, and I'm not smart enough to start to change the extensions in order to open the folds so I can dump IE. I checked all the research, it seems to be a registry problem and checking they say it's a Dword value in the registry and it is said to remove the value from the registry. I'm looking form something that says value and he's not here now I'm here.

  Any help will be appreciated, and no, I'm not going to buy another computer. I have send and now I know why they call it Yahoo.

  Firstly that e-mails will not let the output area, but I know that they are sent.

  Second and worse when you open express look, the window is frozen to the Inbox and if you go to tools or try and delete an email or do anything the right top box comes up with "not responding".

  Any suggestions as to a cure would be very well received. Thank you very much. David

• How to import Outlook Express 6 directories?

  I am currently using Outlook Express 6 with Microsoft Office 2003. How to copy the address book in Mozilla?

  There is no cut and paste. Simply not possible.
  There are a few changes you can make for Thunderbird to use the windows address book. See http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/windows-contacts.html

  Note that the windows address book is stored in a WAB file and you will need to move to a new computer because it does not part of Thunderbird. Later versions of Windows do import the contacts folder to the very simple windows point and click action.

• My older version of outlook express has several problems, will be these imported into a new account in thunderbird

  My older version of Outlook Express has acquired several problems. It is time for a change, these errors will be imported into a new account in Thunderbird. I hope that everything is based on the conviction that the two programs are completely different.

  You don't say what problems you have with OE, then how everyone has to guess?

  There is no such thing as a "Thunderbird account. You do not have an account with your email provider. To access this account, you can use OE, or Thunderbird.
  But Thunderbird isn't your e-mail provider.

• Thunderbird does not recognize groups of outlook express news. What can I do to fix?

  Years, I had no problem emailing messages to my Outlook Express news groups. Now, when I try to do, I get a message saying that the news group "is not a valid email address because it is not of the form user@host.» Thanks for your help.

  See the bug:

  Workaround solution:

  Comment of Fabian Rodriguez 2014-09-04 06:19:15 PDT

  Confirmed workaround solutions:

  • All by composing an email open the address book and select the list you want to send, to highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This example uses your existing data without changing it.
  • Replace white "" between the words in the descriptions of these lists with an underscore "_". This requires modification of your descriptions of mailing list (s).

• Can I send a photo of smaller size in Outlook Express?

  Outlook Express gives me the ability to send a picture file full size or one size smaller. It is possible to do this with Thunderbird?

  It seems that the extension Auto Resize Image fits precisely for this purpose.

• Outlook express 6 uses Vista to Thunderbird using 8.1.

  I have 4 email addresses in Outlook Express 6 uses Vista. I just went to 8.1 on a new computer. How can I move all Thunderbird e-mail accounts including e-mail saved in folders

  You install Thunderbird on vista and migrate then move Thunderbird. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Moving-Thunderbird-Data-to-a-New-Computer.

  However, outlook express 6 does not not on Vista, so please do not forget your request.

• I can't find my outlook express address book after you migrate successfully from the old computer. The "Address book" tab shows that local address book empty.

  I move from a Windows XP computer to a Windows 7 computer. My old computer has Outlook Express. I've migrated successfully my emails and messages archived in Thunderbird on the new computer. I also migrated the Outlook Express address book using an external hard drive, but I was not able to understand how to find the Outlook Express address book in Thunderbird. The only way that I could find the Outlook Express address book, is to go to 'tools' and 'import' and then import the Outlook Express address book. When I do this, the Outlook Express address book features, duplicate entries (because I imported twice now). When the Outlook Express address book shows, it works without problems and I can use it to send emails. But once I close the Outlook Express address book, I can't find him. Other messages, I see that the "Address book" tab in Thunderbird should open a window containing a list of available on the left side address books. But this window in my computer does not display a list of address books. There is just a blank window for the address book personal (it has no contacts inside) and there is nothing on the left side.

  in the display (alt + V) address book menu > layout > directory pane.
