• Empty folders in Outlook Express after doing a system recovery.

  Original title: Outlook Express recovery.

  After a crash the system and recovery (via Microsoft technician), I can access is no longer my email from Outlook Express files and operation.  I can see all files in the folders, I've had, but they are empty.

  Probably what happened is that the records. dbx file has likely corrupted as a result of the accident. Have you tried leaving Outlook Express when the accident occurred? If so, it was probably at that time that Outlook Express has been folders.dbx compaction. Folders.dbx is the folder that contains your folder structure and parameters.

  You can try the option import in Outlook Express and see if he will bring back your mail in Outlook Express. You will need to use Browse to point Outlook Express in the folder of the store where the corrupt identity. Because you say you can see the folders you must check and note the path of the file to use with browse during the import. I would try to import files simple and not folders.dbx and all subfolders. If you use select all records it after a successful import be warned, you end up with duplicates that it is extremely difficult to eliminate.

  Corruption of folder in Outlook Express has been a constant source of grief for users for years. Steve Cochran, a MSVP, developed a tool to retrieve messages and this works well in most cases. The original tool was DbXtract and Steve created later DbXpress. I used DbXtract, but not of DbXpress. If your attempts to use the file, import fail I suggest you try one of these tools.

• Problem loading in outlook express after changing Internet service providers.

  I have recently switch from Verizon to Comcast internet providers.  Since I had problems loading in outlook express.  One in a blue moon, it will actually connect, but more often than not, it does nothing.  It loads in the taskbar upwards and the titles of the mailbox, but if it connects, you can't do anything.  Help I am getting very frustrated.

  I don't know why the change of operator would make a difference. When it finally connects, you get mail?

  Make sure that your settings are correct and that your Verizon account has been deleted.

  How can I set up/configure Outlook Express, Windows Mail & Windows Live Mail to E-mail from Comcast?
  http://www.Comcast.com/customers/FAQ/FaqDetails.ashx?ID=2288

  Then work on these steps.

  1: create a new Folders.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.

  A new Folders.dbx file will be created when you open OE. Note these possible side effects:

  When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. Please understand that you will lose the mail directory structure, all the discussion lists and all synchronization options and message rules will probably have to be edited.

  2: 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.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

  3: 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.

  3: disable e-mail scanning in your 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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  For some programs, turning it off is not enough. You may need to uninstall and reinstall in custom Mode and remove the analysis when e-mail messages.

  If all else fails, try a new identity.

  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.

• Unable to display all unread messages in Outlook Express after running "compating" and also update Symantec AV.

  Original title: how to repair Outlook Express.

  Until recently, when I open Oulook Express, I'd get a screen telling me how many emails that are UNREAD.  I would then click the UNREAD and I'd get a panel showing all the emails in the order in which they came from my ISP.  Now, however, when I open OUTLOOK EXPRESS, I get immediately the last email rec'vd and the only way I can see others, is to remove the one that is open.  I am running XP-Professional and anti-virus from Symantec.  This change seemed to arise as a result of a routine compaction and update my Symantec anti-virus.  I tried to 'uninstall' OUTLOOK EXPRESS by unchecking in 'Add/Remove Windows components' and then 'install' again by checking the box, but he always reacts the same way.  Is it possible that OUTLOOK EXPRESS has somehow been corrupted?  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  OE uncheck in Add/Remove removes only the access and nothing else. Compaction is a necessary process and unless you have actually lost messages, I doubt it was that. It is more likely Symantec which is least friendly OE AV program there. All that said, follow these steps.
   
  1: view | Current view. Make sure Show all Messages is the only option that is checked.
   
  2: Try in a new identity. You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identities | 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.

• Sent files - items have disappeared from the folder "sent" in Outlook Express after I transferred files from the "sent" folder to a new folder

  I have windows XP and today under the sent items, I created another folder called sent items 2011. I transferred some of the files of items to be sent envoys 2011 article folder. The other files in the sent items folder disappeared. Please help me to restroe the former sent files.

  Check the messages to the new folder and deleted items. Have a a + in front of them?
   
  If not, I don't know what went wrong in order to check the Recycle Bin of Windows and the BAK files OE message store. If you find any, post back before doing anything.
   
  You drag messages to the new folder?
   
  Hint 1: always right click | Copy here and if he succeeds, go back and remove the original messages.
   
  Tip 2: Save your messages. This freeware tool backs up everything on OE in seconds. Ignore what is written in red. Which refers to another program.

• How to remove the Inbox of emails in Outlook Express after Windows Live?

  I get the persistent messages to compact my emails.  I noticed that 2007 emails are be compacted.

  I went from Outlook Express to Windows Live a few years ago and thought I had disconnected from Outlook Express.  Obviously not.  I think that each email in Windows Live, I got also went to the Outlook Express Inbox.  I was able to remove all the "sent", "draft", emails, but was denied access to the Outlook Express Inbox.  Therin find hundreds of emails.   I want to stay with Windows Live, but I sure I want to delete 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 email in my Outlook Inbox.  What should I do?

  Thank you for helping.  I'm not too savvy computer.

  I don't understand why you would be denied access to the Inbox, but that following and you will end up with an Inbox again and empty.

  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 box of Inbox.dbx and delete it.  A new Inbox will be created automatically when you open OE.

  In tools | Accounts, either delete the account or the email account | Properties | The general tab, uncheck the box: "include this account...". ', to prevent new messages to download.

• Address book disappeared and the error message said to reinstall Outlook Express after installing IE 8

  Original title: IE 8 has completely corrupted my Outlook Express.c

  I just downloaded IE 8 and it has completely corrupted my Outlook Express. My address book is missing and the error message says that I have to reinstall Outlook Express. How can I do this?

  You can try the following steps and check.

  Step 1: Rename the Windows address book file

  a. click on start-> Search-> all files or folders.

  b. in the "All or part of the file name", type: "*.wab" (without the quotes).

  c. define the area look in to include your local hard drives, and then click search.

  NOTE: If you find more than one .wab file, make the following changes for all files.

  d. click the file .wab you find. On the file menu, click Rename.

  e. Type "oldaddress.old" and press ENTER.

  f. open Outlook Express and check.

  Step 2: Edit the registry and save dll files

  a. click on start-> Run, in the Open box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) and then click OK.

  b. navigate to the following registry key and delete it:

  -HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB

  -HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WAB

  c. Remove wab32.dll and wab32res.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System

  d. Click Start-> Run, in the Open box, type "msimn /reg" and then click OK.

  e. Click Start-> run, type "regsvr32 «c:\Program files\Common Files\System \wab32.dll»»

  f. Click Start-> run, type "regsvr32"c:\Program files\outlook express\oeimport.dll.

  g. click on start-> run, type "regsvr32"c:\Program files\outlook express\wabimp.dll.

  Important: The above mentioned steps show you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, follow the steps from the link below:

• Missing messages in OUtlook Express after compression

  Dear Brian,
   
  Nice day
   
  Help, please!
   
  I have a problem with Microsoft Outlook 6, I'm on a windows xp professional SP3.
   
  What has happened is only a pop window up asked me to compress old files, I said yes and it took a long time to compress, I got bored and press cancil, is the result: half the files of othe my express email outlook are empty xompletely, all emails in them have disappeared. It is a professional computer and emails were accumilating for years, they are very important to me.
   
  I wanted to ask this question on the page of microsoft, but for some reason any, that he would not believe that I am connected and it ask me to connect.
   
  Please, please help me, its really important and I'm desperate :((

  It would be very nice of you to respond to my email * address email is removed from the privacy *, as I'm naïve, how to be notified or find your answer, and I stopped using hotmail almost 7 years ago: S

  I know that I'm you disturbing too, but I'm hopeful that you are kind enough to try to help me. Thank you very much!

  Who is Brian?

  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
   
  Why mail disappears:
  http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
   
  About file Corruption:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

  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.
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

  And see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

  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.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  And backup often.

• Can I recover emails in Outlook Express after a clean reinstall of windows XP?

  I performed a clean reistall windows XP and lost my AddressBook and emails. I didn't, that, unlike most e-mail systems, that Outlook Express was actually located on my computer. Is there a way to recover these emails or I just learned a lesson?

  I performed a clean reistall windows XP and lost my AddressBook and emails. I didn't, that, unlike most e-mail systems, that Outlook Express was actually located on my computer. Is there a way to recover these emails or I just learned a lesson?

  Outlook Express is a desktop client and all mail clients remove the messages from the server if it is a POP3 account and unless you select the option leave a copy of messages on the server that has been put at your disposal. What is a POP3 account?

  If it is a POP3 account, you're probably SOL, but before you give up, try this tool. You can find messages, and it's not free, so no harm to try.

• After that Windows re my Outlook express not did me not open attachments I send / receive.

  For some reason, my Windows program was to be corrupt and has stopped working. I lost my data for various programs and I got to reregister a windows XP back on the tracks.
