• I get an error (0x800C0133) message when opening outlook express and can not receive emails

  An unknown error has occurred.

  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.
   
  General precautions for Outlook Express:
   
  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 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.

• Messages in my Outbox Outlook Express 6 remain the same if they were sent and keep returning.

  When I send a message, it goes to my Outbox.  I get an error message that indicates there was a problem with sending the message and that it remains in the Outbox.  Apparently, the message sends itself on and on every time that the automatic send/receive attempts to send.  It seems that there is really no problem, given that the beneficiaries get the first copy sent, although I get the error message.  It seems that this problem only occurs when the message has an attachment.  It doesn't seem to be my ISP issue, since we deleted the account from Outlook Express and then added the account as a new account.  My provider has also examined all the settings used by Outlook Express to send and receive e-mail and found them correct.

  What is the problem and how can I fix it?

  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.

  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.

  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.

• 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

• 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?
