Outlook Express 6 problem

Have recently upgraded to a newer computer and put XP Professional on it. I have set up Outlook Express to send and receive e-mails.

My current problem is that once I've filled in the address line and sent an email, my detals of outgoing e-mail server are included in the address line once the email has been sent.

How can I stop my outgoing mail server info is added to the address on the mail line. ?

The simple answers please, I'm not very computer.

Outlook Express is just a simple email client. You can use, for example AOL, which is an IMAP account.

Who is your mail server? (Which is after the @ in your address.)

I've never seen what you describe here arrive, and I did EO for a long time. Set up a new identity and see if the problem persists.

File | Identity | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

Other than that, the only other thing that comes to mind is your AV program, especially if it is the analysis of the active e-mail. Send an email to quick test with the disabled AV and see if that makes a difference.

  • Download Outlook Express Server problem

    When I set up my Outlook Express account, I clicked "keep a copy of messages on the server. My hard drive crashed. I reinstalled my OS and implemented the OE account again.  There were about 1,000 emails saved on the server, but only about 100 downloaded when I reset OE. How can I download the remaining emails on my account?  It's a story of pop.att.yahoo.com.  Thank you.

    Make sure you that check for messages every X minutes is not checked immediately. If it does not end download before the start of a new check, the download will never end. You can save later.

    Now, move the message that download a user created folder. Find the location of the message store, close OE and delete the Pop3uidl.dbx file,.

    Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server. Then, remove the Pop3uidl.dbx file.

    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 Pop3uidl.dbx file and delete it.  A new one will be created automatically when you open OE and I hope that all messages will be downloaded.

    Slightly OT:

    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.

    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 sending problem - I need to know how to remove a message that is too large to send

    I need to know how to delete a message that is too big to send and full of images out of my outlook express, whenever I open outlook it trys to send this mail and legs up to my computer...

    Hi Shawnalmus,

    Try to open outlook express offline or without connection to the network. You will be able to open the Outbox folder and delete the file.

    If you have only a stuckup email in the Outbox, close outlook express and rename the Outbox.dbx file in envoi.old. To do:

    Click on start search-> all files-> Outbox.dbx, usually its in C:\Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data\Identities\{Identity number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    Since 2 days I'm fighting some OE problem with missing e-mail. The problem is like Office Outlook if there is some time 2000/XP/2003 with oversized - data 2 GB.
    With some software I downloaded, can I see emails but no way to extract them again in OE. Is there a Microsoft tool supported as for Office Outlook scanpst retrieve Outlook Express messages?
    Best regards
    Marcin
    You see a lot of messages in the Inbox? You can move them?
     
    1. Save your messages before you do anything. You can do this by creating a new identity and import all of your messages. Do this and then come back to the identity of the problem.
    2. Create folders and move messages from the Inbox to them.
    3. Compact of the Inbox.
    Messages that you weren't see appear today? If it isn't...
     
     
    You may need to run in the extract from disk Mode if its normal recovery mode fails to find lost messages.

    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.
