  • Outlook Express cannot send and receive emails and cannot sync to the phone.

    Hello

    I'm a Microsoft Online Customer Service, which contacts on behalf of my client. My client has problem with Outlook Express, which cannot send and receive emails, and cannot sync to the phone. He receives this error message below:

    The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please check that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 11001, error number: 0x800CCC0D

    I'm not sure of the sync with the phone number, but the account settings are not yet near. SMTP is not a host name or a server name. You must find the correct POP3 server settings.

  • Outlook Express error 0x800CCC0D cannot receive emails

    Have not been able to receive emails for about a week now. Have been on the phone with my internet provider and hp. I am able to send and receive emails on my ISP's webmail page. I am using windows xp and have micro trend as my anti-virus. Help, please. Not able to get any answers on this other then I need to uninstall outlook and reinstall it.

    It has been installed without it and when I stopped him I still have the error. I don't have a router. Don't you think that interferes with outlook?

    You're modem and router would be next on my list. Try to reset them both. If they have no reset buttons, simply unplug for about 15 seconds and reconnect. Do the router first, then the modem.

    If this doesn't help, can bypass you the router at least for testing purposes?

    Other things to look at.

  • Outlook Express 6, you will receive emails but have sent emails stay in Outbox, but are sent

    I have outlook express 6.  I get messages OK.  "When I sent an email I get an error message that says: some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks.  When I click the errors tab, nothing is displayed.  The tab tasks shows a warning with a sign! in it and "send 1 message...". "Under status it says"warnings ".  The message is sent, but remains in the Outbox in bold.  It must be removed from the Outbox or the program crashes and I can't send or receive anything.  The message is not transferred to the sent folder.

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    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.

  • Outlook Express problem - when I receive an email in Outlook Express, it goes immediately into the "Deleted items" folder

    When I receive an email in Outlook Express in Windows XP, it will immediately in the "deleted items" folder  How can I fix it?

    Thank you

    This can happen only if you have a message in place rule or the sender entered blocked senders. Carefully review these two areas and any spam program, you may have.

  • Outlook Express main identity and Comcast email server

    I use Outlook Express (Internet Explorer 8) in Windows XP Pro.  A year and half ago my main identity ceased to be able to access the new emails through my Comcast email server account, but my other two (not main) identities Comcast can download all of their new emails.  I just get a message "unknown error", said that the main identity account cannot access the server.  PS. I can send emails, but I can't receive them.  I tried to look at all the POP and SMTP elements and they do not seem to be wrong Comcast took me through several steps but said the probel in my OExpress program and they were no help at all after that.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

    Tip: Create an identity third to replace the main identity. Import messages and address book and if it works well, remove the main identity.

    Make sure that the SMTP port is set to 587 and my server requires authentication is enabled. (Many Comcast Tech don't even know it).

  • Outlook express non-stop download previous emails

    I had a hard disk crash. replaced it, reinstalled XP and re-setup outlook express. Progressed it program to download all previous messages I thought I was lost, but has not stopped. I have 13000 more emails in triplicate. How to stop this thing. I found the file in the system and delete the file "Inbox" to allow him to re-download I wouldn't double and triple, but it does still hope. Help!

    To add to Steve's comments:

    Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - uncheck: leave a copy of messages on the server.

    In tools | Options | General, uncheck check for messages at startup and to pass messages every X minutes.

    Close an open OE and do the manual send/receive. I think that OE starts to poll for new messages before the previous download is complete.

    Once this is done, a double-check meanings, bit I would not mark messages any sooner than 5 minutes, 10 would be better.

    If you need to double check leave a copy on the server, on arrival of the lease to remove after XX days.

  • XP: Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail - Emails have disappeared

    My boss had some problems a few months where a piece of his e-mails have been deleted.  Like a year or two of a value.  He had a ton of emails in their Inbox.  Just recently he started having the same e-mail repeatedly.  I decided to download windows live mail and install it on his computer.  It is running XP.

    I installed live mail.  He acknowledged the current e-mail account, he is using Outlook Express (POP3).  However, there is only the latest e-mail messages.  So, I went to windows live mail and click on file - import - and I imported Outlook Express 6.  He asked me what files and I clicked on the button that says it all.

    He went through the process and declared finished.  It was supposed to put the files in the storage folder.  I check the records of storage and there is nothing in the Inbox sent items folder has its old emails in them.  I looked around, in the other Inbox for the normal email account there and there is nothing more.

    I'm going to switch back to outlook express and its Inbox has no emails as well.  I'm like ooohhhh _.  If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

    I don't know if it compacted emails in outlook express.

    Thanks in advance - James

    For now, let's deal with Outlook Express.

    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
     
    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery methods:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, 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 does not send receive

    After the reboot of my office, O.E. works very well in all directions. But after a few hours, he stops to receive mail in its automatic configuration mode. When I click on send or receive, I don't see ever typical status window. I tried l ' down and restart and notice that I don't get OE logo screen that I normally do, it just goes to the Inbox or whatever it is I last looked and it comes faster than normal. In addition, I noticed sometimes that when I go in my sent mail folder or Inbox, newer than 2009 messages do not appear.  Switch back will sometimes fix it, but not always. Restart will fix all the problems that I said at the beginning. Last week, there was yet another peculiarity which lasted maybe an hour. Click Send and Receive has nothing, but hit CTRL + M brought to work. And earlier I tried clicking on receive and voila it worked fine for the first time since 11:36 AM CDT. Unfortunately, I did not send the mail. The suite send or receive tests continue to fail. I tried to install Mozilla Thunderbird and it seems to work very well, but I would largely continue to use OE.

    I use the update of the window in automatic mode and have known no other problems EXCEPT a week ago, Malwarebbyste has found 2 virus files which I immediately deleted. Since then, Malwarebytes always freezes when I put it for a complete analysis. After that, I installed Adaware and have run MRT of MS, SFC and another whose name escapes me now. They have all found nothing. I think THAT OE problems began earlier than that.

    My opus system is XP Pro SP 3. My OE is 6.00.2900.5812 and my IE is 8.0.6601.18702. My internet connection is cable Comcast.

    I wasn't expecting to find IE listed in my Add / Remove programs but it is there. Because I think that OE comes with IE, it sems like maybe I should try uninstalling and reinstalling. Would it be a good idea? Also, I looked at IE 9 downloads but they do not seem to exist. Designated as IE 9 download sites seem to only have IE8

    It seems that there must be a better way

    I don't know why this is happening. Any suggestions? Can I safely re - install OE6? Who would solve the problem?

  • How can I stop Outlook Express to import all my emails?

    Twice now when I open outlook express, that I very, very rarely use - my emails go to Tiscali (now TalkTalk) which is my ISP - and outlook express has imported all of my emails from my Tiscali email account;   is the first time about 2 years ago and it imported all of them, about 360 emails and yesterday when I opened outlook express it imported all of them once again, 548 emails. It took me sending hours back to my account email Tiscali, one by one.
    I looked at the settings in outlook express and can not find out why he did and want to disable it will never happen.

    Spent many hours on the phone with technical support of at & t reset my email ID and password.  My mail to yahoo at & t sending and reception, but the same message generates a Mailer Daemon failure notice when sent from Outlook Express for XP. at & t said that there is a Microsoft bug that they cannot solve.

    Why always a message in Oulook Express that the recipient of this message is not digitally signed, and then another one saying unencrypted and I click send anyway. How can I remove all this and just be able to send directly to who I want? When Outlook is genrating and alert error there are no detaisl provided on the error.

    Start over.  First eliminate interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  After that go to file | Identities and editing and new identity.  Set up your e-mail account to the$ T, and then use the settings they specify on their website for OE and also told you to support.  (OE can connect and send to THE$ T, there is therefore no clear 'bug' with OE towards them).  See if it works then.
