• 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.

  Create a "stand-alone": WAB file
  http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/WAB.htm#wabexe

  Then open your address book by default to the Group wanted all members of the Group and select copy to Clipboard (Ctrl + A select all, Ctrl + C copy them into the Clipboard).  Then open the "autonomous" WAB file and paste the contacts in that file (you will need to press Enter each entry, but it beats tapping OK), and then copy the wab file to a floppy disk or export it as a CSV file.  Otherwise, folders and groups neither import nor export.
  

• Problems with Outlook Express (address book, mail open, etc.)

  Hi, I have a strange problem with my outlook express. The program opens ok, it synchronize the e-mail with the servers and so on. If you click on an email in the upper part of the window you can see the content below.
  Now, this is my problem, I can not doubleclick on an email to open it, I can't send an email or forward it. I can't open the address book.
  I get different messages, "it was not possible to open the address book, it cannot be installed correctly", "the message could not be opened, an error has occurred", "it was not possible to load the due address book that Outlook Express is not properly configured. Reinstall Outlook Express"and so on.
  I used this software for many years and the problem came from one day to the other. I tried to uninstall/reinstall the program from the Control Panel, I did a repair on XP installation, but it is always the same, is there anyone who has an idea (I know that Outlook Express is and old program, but it works very well for my needs).

  What about Nils

  First, try a new identity and see if that helps.

  You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. 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.

  If the problem persists, start looking here.

  All of these errors have the same cause.  Something is screwed up with your address book.

  It could be several specific problems, which include:
  -corrupted WAB file
  -damaged or incompatible DLL files for the addressbook
  -have OE set to use the Outlook98 / 2000 + contacts instead of the WAB
  folder and there is something wrong at the end of Outlook

• Outlook Express: "address book failed to load. OE is configured incorrectly, please reinstall.

  Windows XP Home Edition. Suddenly cannot open my email. I searched the *.wab file and the 'read only' box is not checked. It is said that it has been changed a few days ago. I remember deleting an address duplicate at this time. What would I do? How should I do?

• How to find outlook express address book

  original title: How to address book outlook express

  How to find the address book outlook express

  Open the AddressBook and help | About will show the location. You must display the location to see.
   
   
  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.

• Outlook Express: How to change the default location of mail and press kits?

  I use windows XP with Outlook Express 6 (6.00.2900.5512).
  I want to change the destination of the mail folder. (MY C drive is made of only 6 Gbs, and 5.5 GB is now eaten.)

  It's a bit complicated, so do first a backup of your posts.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx

  So what you do is to create a new directory where you want to as the message store to be moved.  Then, in OE, go to tools | Options | Maintenance | Store the file and set this new directory.  Then close OE and reopen it.  OE will then move the store the entire message to this new location.  Do NOT move the files yourself.  If you do, then OE will overwrite the files that you moved and you will lose all your messages.

  So save your messages first, and then create a new directory to the new location and then say OE the new location and when you open it again, it will move the files.

  To clear more room, also go to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup and which should lead to more space on the disk.

• I can't receive email in Outlook Express or view the Inbox; can access the address book & all the other options.

  I can't view the Inbox or receive emails with Outlook Express; address book, sent & project options are ok.

  I ignored the request of compact messages.

  Your Inbox may be altered.  Go to file | Identities and set up a new identity and add your email account and see if it works.  If Yes, then you can try to import older identity, but you may need a program to extract messages otherwise (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).  You should not ignore the request to compact the database messages, like at the time, the Inbox and other folders get corrupted and you lose messages - see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 .

• When I click on address book in the Fax Wizard, it gives me only choices related to Exchange, not the Windows address book

  Running on the Windows XP-based computer.  Also running Office 365 with Outlook and Office 2010.  I had filled the Windows with 200 names address book and fax numbers.  In Word 2010, I print on the Windows Fax and starts the wizard.  When asked 'Recipient' it gives the choice to enter data or address book, which, once clicked has a list of all Exchange-related choices, a component of Office 365.

  How can I get the Fax Wizard to offer Windows or Outlook Express address book that has the same 200 names and fax numbers?

  Hello

  You can find this article useful. It gives instructions on how to export the address book contacts to the Exchange personal address book. This should make contact available for use.

  Hope the information is useful.

• How can I create a list of contacts on Outlook Express. I found the answer in help, but cannot locate elements, on what he asked me to click

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:
  How can I create a group or a list of contacts on Outlook Express.  I found the answer in help, but cannot locate elements, on what he asked me to click

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  If you're running Vista, you have Windows Mail, not Outlook Express. These instructions for adjustment of these two programs.

  To create a group of contacts:

  You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

  1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
  2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
  3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
  a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
  (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
  to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
  (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
  4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

  Note

  a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
   
  b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

  If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

  Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

• How to get my Outlook Express, I had before the crash and restore?

  My computer crashed so bad I had to click on the f10 key, but it did a restore and I lost my Outlook express, even my e-mail provider windstream has been lost and now, they can't recognize my old login, can't my email even with the same settings as I had typed out after that I started usuing Windstream in 2010 my address book is gone! can not get my address book! My new outlook Express6 has a released check it out, but when I click on it nothing happens. I used it even though my intention was not to send an e-mail, I am a bad speller! I'm very confused with my old outlook Express and the address book. The news is very disappointing!

  According to Bruce, you will need to search for *.dbx to locate the directory of dbx files.  Make sure that you have configured to display the hidden files and folders and do not hide the extensions of the types of files known as control panel | Folder options | View.  Also when research conduct an advanced search and include files and folders hidden in the advanced search parameters.  The address book is a wab, so also the search for *.wab file.  When find you them, then use the file | Import | Messages and files. Import | Address book to get back them.  See also www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 and www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx for background information.

  If you have formatted the drive when you did reinstall it, then the old files have disappeared.  My DBXpress program has a record feature which can recover some of the lost messages (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).

  To the properties of your account, you need to collate Windstream or check their Web site for the correct settings.
