Outlook express 6 - part email not more folded in the Inbox

A large number of emails from my Inbox is not folded over since last Thursday (age of less than 23 January 2011 all mails).  For new messages that arrive, I see the number of unread mails (next to Inbox a header) but the message itself is not visible. When you import directory on another computer, the program indicates there are 3000 messages but only 1,000 are really imported and visinle on the other computer.  How can I fix this?   Thank you

Very often the reception (or any other folder) is corrupted, and the messages are lost.  Often, the space where the messages were suddenly filled with zeros.  This is compounded by antivirus software (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

The first thing to do is to check the Recycle Bin and the message store (found via Tools |) Options | Maintenance | Advanced | Store folder and its hidden) for the bak files are backups of the dbx can restore files made before compaction of the messages, which, if present you it.  See point 2 on the above page and also www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

If there is no bak file, then your only chance at recovery is probably my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) which can extract messages from the dbx corrupted files (if they don't fill up with leading zeros) or from the hard drive itself, if the files contain more messages.  Its the only program with this capability.

In the future, make sure that you back up your messages regularly, as this happens often, especially with files very large dbx.

    When Outlook Express 6 detects emails from a name in the right column indicates the folder in which it is in. How can you tell which folder this folder is located in?

    OE does not have the capacity to tell you where the folder is located in the folder hierarchy.  You can select different trees under local folders to find what subfolder is and what kind of tree it is under.  Unless folders.dbx is corrupted (which happens a bit), then OE will not create folders for you.  If folders.dbx is corrupt or not, I would suggest that you backup the files and the registry (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) before things become corrupt, because you seem to have a complex organization from your e-mail folders.

  • Outlook express 6.0 will not remove messages from my Inbox

    Quite suddenly OE will not delete messages in my Inbox after that I read the using the button Delete 'X' some but it will be no more.  They can be removed by using ctrl-alt-delete.  My boxes of sent and deleted items are almost empty.  This has only become a less of an issue these days.  I'm open to suggestions.

    Thank you

    It seems to be a corruption of dbx file. Easy to fix.
     
    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.
     
    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 Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. 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.

    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.

    You probably have too much in your Inbox.

    1. Move messages that you see in the user created folders.
    2. OE backup.
    3. Close and open OE.
    4. Compact your folders.

    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, loss of emails from entry

    Outlook Express, 3 new emails have been consulted, then all previous emails and read not reading disappeared by simply clicking on the following email address. The last 3 emails remained, and everything was lost.

    On 'search' for ".dbx", found "Inbox (1). dbx", containing 3 current input emails and the"box of Inbox.dbx"which seems to contain all of the lost emails.

    How one to retrieve all emails "input"? Some files not lost anything else and no file added to 'delete '. Software "Outlook Repair Kit" would solve the problem?  If so who? The system uses - Windows XP Professional SP3 and Microsoft Outlook Express 6.

    You can do a right click on the Inbox in the folder list and access the properties to see what real file is using OE.  It seems as if the original Inbox.dbx box has been corrupted, so OE made a new one called Inbox (1) .dbx he uses now.   Before you do anything in the inbox.dbx file, make a copy in the case where the messages are still inside.  Then you can try to import as Bruce suggested (see also www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1).  But if you try and import it and its corrupt and there messages, OE can erase all content, so make sure you do a first backup (you should back up the store of the entire message at this stage).

    Also, check your Inbox and the message store to a file inbox.bak, which is a backup, if it exists and may contain lost messages.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    Otherwise see the answer of Bruce.

    five out of six times (approximately) to start outlook express 6, it crashes while trying to access the first message. This happens several times, and each time the first message (even) appears in the Inbox, even if the process is not complete. sometimes clear the cache, or cleaning IE temp. the files seems to help - but not always.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
