• Outlook Express identity Delete

  I'm trying to delete an Outlook Express identity. Remove identity button will not highlight when I try to delete the identity. How can I get the button work? If this function does not work is their way of any other I can delete the identity.

  Hi kwjacq1,

  To delete an identity in Outlook Express, you must have already created secondary identity. In addition, you must also be logged on the second account to be able to remove the main account.
  Try the following:
  1. Of in Outlook Express, open the file menu, point to identities, click manage identities , and then click new.
  2. In the type your name box, type a name for the identity parameter.
  3. Click OK. Click Yes to the pop up to switch to the new identity now.
  4. Now open the windows to manage identity (step 1) again, select your old account and click on delete.

  This, of course, will remove anything within this identity, including emails and address book contacts.

  You can learn more about the management of identities on the following Web site:

• My outlook express is requiring a LogIn identity, I have NEVER in the past had this? It is demanding a password that I don't have?

  Hello

  I get all my emails and all my contacts are using Outlook express for my e-mail - * address email is removed from the privacy *.   I did at least 6 years and more.   I recently had a "LogIn Identity" poster come up I have here NO password, because I can't get ANY of my emails.

  I am able to go online and get current email with Telus.  However, all my contacts and previous emails via Outlook and I prefer to use this system.

  I tried a fix with OMNITECH - who did online malicious components... knowing made unwanted change to Outlook Express data as well as the registry of the windows and currupted system some of the core system files.    They asked to take on my computer and fix it for a COST of course and I've been uncomforatable with access to my personal information and has failed at this.

  All I'm looking for is to come back to my Outlook express and remove this IDENTITY of the CONNECTION.

  Help, please!     I have access to another computer is possible to transfer or to open a new Outlook express and got all my emails and contacts SAVED :(   Please, or I just have this problem fixed on my current system.

  Thanks so much,

  Patty

• Outlook express - identity change?

  I've been running OE 6 on XP Pro v for a few years and it is little by little unpredictable unstable - particularly slow while booting. He regularly offers to compress files unnecessarily.   I don't think that disk space is a problem.  Some MS experts once advised me that the switching of identities was the cure for most of the problems based on the register of OE.  I don't like fiddling with the registry, by ignorance.  I have lots of folders to OE and subfolders to answer to the.  Can someone please explain to me in simple basic steps exactly what are the procedures for changing identity and I guess that transfer matching one ID to another without screwing up my database. I use "OE Quick Backup" but have not yet had the opportunity to use it to restore. How would this work for an ID different is conjecture.  Thank you.

  File | Identities | Add the new identity and follow the instructions. 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.
   
  You use account settings even if you follow the prompts.
   
   
  Import:
   
  For your messages:
   
  In the old identity, firstly, compact all your folders.
   
  In the new identity: file | Import | Messages. Select Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and import from the old identity.
   
  To your address book:
   
  Open the address book in the old identity and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Then, open the address book in the new identity and file | Import | Address book (wab), and then tap on where it was saved.

• I have Outlook Express with 2 identities, but all emails are going to the 2nd identity. How to restore the original identity?

  A month ago I received an error message trying to download emails to my primary identity.

  "An unknown error has occurred. "Account: 'mail.optusnet.com.au', server: 'mail.optusnet.com.au', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133.
  However, all emails are going into my 2nd identity.
  How can I re - define these identities?

  A month ago I received an error message trying to download emails to my primary identity.

  "An unknown error has occurred. "Account: 'mail.optusnet.com.au', server: 'mail.optusnet.com.au', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133.

  However, all emails are going into my 2nd identity.

  How can I re - define these identities?

   
   
   
  1. The error message indicates a corrupt Inbox.
  2. Messages if even received any at least in the second ID, in tools | Accounts, you also have the first account ID listed. First fix the Inbox.
   
   
  Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.
   
  Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.
   
  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 | View.
   
  With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
   
  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.
   
  Disable analysis in your e-mail 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:

• Can't the main Outlook Express identity

  I made a mistake and put in place a new identity of thought I changed just names - now I can not get my idenidy main return - when I start outlook it opens into the new identity but "unresponsive" so I can open anything in the toolbar so that I could edit in main identity.  What should I do?

  Folders.dbx is probably corrupted in the new identity.
   
  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.
   
  The path to the message will be very similar to this:
   
  C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express
   
  With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
   
  You'll have a record of storage for two identities, but they will be easily identified by the names and sizes of the dbx files.

• 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).

  How can I set up/configure Outlook Express, Windows Mail & Windows Live Mail to E-mail from Comcast?

• need help to change the settings for a secondary computer by using outlook express

  How can I go and reset the laptop to that of new emails in outlook express

  Thank you

  You must leave a copy of messages on the server checked on one or two machines.

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

  If you want to ride a few days, but not always, leave the option checked on both machines, but on a single computer only, check for delete after X days.

  The Windows logon or the connection of the OE? Does not matter the first and the second must match the server user ID and password. Nor should it affect import messages and the WAB.

  Power supply on the old PC Windows XP, which uses Outlook Express consumed. I have installed hard disk Drive 'E' on Win7 unit. How can I recover the files OE on Windows7 unit?

  Original title: OE for Win 7

  See http://www.pcdon.com/080113OutlookExpress-WindowsLiveMail.html.

  Once you have the data in Windows Live Mail, you can choose what e-mail program you prefer and import to Windows Live Mail.

• Run-time error Outlook express

  In my outlook express, I get a message on a runtime error. How can I solve this problem. It won't even open to read my mail.

  1. Enroll in two important Outlook files. Go to start > run and type regsvr32 OLE32. DLL
     In addition, type regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
     
     Then try opening OE.
     
     2. check if the folders.dbx file is corrupted.  With OE closed, find folders.dbx and rename it to folders.old.
     
     The file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data\Identities\\Microsoft\Outlook Express folder. This is a hidden folder, so you must display hidden folders and files to see. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folder Options > view. Check 'show files and folders '. Click OK.
     
     3. check if the DBX file is corrupted. Perform a repair with
