  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.
   
  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.
   
  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:

• Outlook express cannot receive emails because "your spam or junk file box is too full.

  Original title: where & how do I find the 'spam' or 'junk' mail folder for outlook express?
  I'm having a problem with Outlook Express I can send emails but cannot receive emails.  He said it might be because "your spam or junk file box is too full" but there is no 'spam' visible or "junk mail" box in Outlook express.  Where and how can I find?

  According to Bruce, OE has no spam or junk folder, so this file is likely on the server.  Sign in to your e-mail via webmail account and then look for a folder spam or junk e-mail on the server and you can delete the Junk there.

• Outlook Express problem: receiving e-mail on two different computers

  I use Outlook Express to send and receive e-mail on two of my computers. Both are connected to the same sever internet account. My laptop is connected to wirlessly modum and my office is connected to the same cable modum. If Outlook Express is open on my laptop, I receive e-mail on it & my office also weither Outlook Express is open on this topic or not. If Outlook Express is open on my desk & not on my laptop, I receive e-mail on it and not on my laptop. Emails received on my desk when Outlook is not open on my laptop never materialize on my laptop. It's as if they are intercepted by the office. Are there settings that I can change on computers? My ISP Internet says it's a matter of Outlook not an internet issue. Can anyone help?

  If both computers use the same e-mail address, on both machines:

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

  On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.

• Outlook Express to receive e-mail large file for 3 days of work

  Someone sent me an email with a very large file (about 20 MB) and OE tried to receive this message for 3 days with no progress.  I can't send or receive any other emails until it has been received, or better still, deleted.  Help!

  Just to add to the good advice of Brian, there is another thing you can do.

  Create a Message rule:

  Where the message size is size
  Delete server
  Click on size and place it for about 10 MB, and then click: Apply Now.

  Return to the Inbox, and then click send/receive. This should get rid of the message.

  Don't forget to go back to the rules of Message and either delete the rule, or uncheck it if you use it in the future.

• How can I configure Outlook Express to receive messages to different mailboxes (via POP3) but to send messages and responses using a single SMTP account?

  How can I configure Outlook Express to receive messages to different mailboxes (via POP3) but to send messages and responses using only a single SMTP account?

  In other words, I need to download via POP3 messages sent to the * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy * but I want to send messages using Mar SMTP service associated to * address email is removed from the privacy *

  If I get a message like * address email is removed from the privacy * I want to answer as * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Is this possible?

  How can I configure Outlook Express?

  You can do this if the Server SMTP allows you to send from a location that you are not connected via their internet service.  So if you have this permission, go to tools | Accounts | Add mail.  Then under the account of property | You want to set the server for incoming mail to the POP3 account, and then the SMTP protocol for the other account that you use to send servers.  And then indicate whether or not the server requires authentication, and if yes, then you will need to put in the user name and password for the SMTP server it.  Under properties. Advanced to define appropriate ports that may be different from the default value according to e-mail accounts.  You can also check the "leave a copy of messages on the server" for accounts POP3, if you access messages from multiple computers.

  Once you have an account set up, then you can set others upward in the same way, but change the POP3 properties for each while leaving the SMTP ones the same.

  Once you have all that in place, you might want to backup things in case something goes wrong: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

• Sending via Outlook Express or Windows Live mail

  The SMTP host is not found.  Please check that you have entered the server name correctly.  Account 'POP3', Server SMTP, Port 25, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 1101

  The above is happening via Internet Explore.  When I send emails via my home page of Yahoo and a Yahoo email account, I did not have this problem. Y at - it a setting I need to change?  If yes where?

  Those who are not the correct settings for Yahoo in OE.

  If it's a US or CA, Yahoo account, and that you are not subscribed to Yahoo Mail Plus, then you cannot access the account in Outlook Express.

• All of a sudden Outlook Express cannot find the files created by the method of attachment.

  Outlook Express cannot find the newly created files to attach. The files are there in My Documents and Outlook Express can still see all the old files, but each new file for the last month is not seen and cannot be attached. I even typed in the name of the file and it says can not find the file of the same name. I send you the files now through 'Send it' a service online, but complicated to use another program. I checked the 'views' and they seem ok. Help, please!

  It is a long shot, but try it in a new 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.
