• Records Compact Outlook Express popup message

  About Outlook Express message appears continuously want to compact files. I did it, but he continues to appear every few seconds. How can this be stopped?

  Here is my first answer canned. If not either of these programs, see if something else here fits. It is usually Windows Serch, that's why I jumped right to it.

  The problem is with the registry counter which gives you the prompt after 100 closures of OE. It is increased faster than it should be, and even if you do not OE.

  There are a growing number of programs and actions that can cause after installing SP3. You have following situations?

  Keyboard IBM rapid access (pilot) RAKDLL. DLL
  Search Windows {office}
  MailWasher
  Nero-plug-in (s)

  Opening of EML files while OE is closed will also help the County to register.

  Different antivirus, antispyware, and third-party firewall, especially if they were running when you installed SP3.

  Archived discussion discuss this issue in June 2008:
  http://groups.Google.com/group/Microsoft.public.outlookexpress.General/browse_frm/thread/fcd35fbfa457fd6f

  In the case of Windows Search, (the offender #1), you must be told to stop indexing OE.

  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.

  In the case of Nero Scout, see point 2.3 page 8 here.

  In the option to exclude indexing of selected file types, remember to add these file types:

  .eml, .dbx & .nws

• Troubleshooting Outlook Express error message - error number: 0x800C0133

  I NEED HELP to SOLVE A PROBLEM WITH OUTLOOK EXPRESS - cannot GET RID OF THE ERROR MESSAGE AFTER TRYING all THE SOLUTIONS LIST AND EVEN EMPTY THE Inbox EMPTY. Help, please!

  USING OUTLOOK EXPRESS 8.0 WITH WINDOWS XP, I CAN'T RECEIVE MAIL IN MY INBOX ALTHOUGH IT SHOWS A NUMBER OF MESSAGES RECEIVED. I GET THIS ERROR MESSAGE:
  An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'Hotmail', server: 'pop3.live.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, secure (SSL): Yes, error number: 0x800C0133

  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.

  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:

  Help, please.  My email address if * address email is removed from the privacy * or * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  I guess that you don't like my advice after using OE for 12 years, but if you have no copies of your files dbx bak in the trash, then:

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode has the best chance to recover messages.

  There is no other tool that can extract messages from a dbx file that was a clean rag.

• emails missing when outlook express compact

  When outlook express is closed, he asked if I wanted to compact the files to save space. After compaction, all mails disappeared and are no longer in the Inbox. Where can I find them

  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.

  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.

  And see:

  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.

• Outlook Express Inbox messages or files are missing.

• Outlook express Compact view

  I have a lot of emails in Windows XP Outlook Express I want to keep it there.  How to stop this message about compacting my files?  I do not wish to do so and to stop the message.

  If you are talking about a message that says:

  To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

  If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

  Compact Check Count

  It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

  \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

  Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment.  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

  There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

  Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

  If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it turns that is usually at each reboot.  If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

  Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which will further increase the count, so when the counter gets to 100, Windows Desktop Search will prompt you to compress messages during the next reboot.  This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using Outlook Express or not.

  No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

  You can compress data when prompted (which resets the counter to 0).

  You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

  If you do not use Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

  Following the best practices for using Outlook Express will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

  Using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search at the same time most people are satisfied to just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

  To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

  Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• Outlook Express 6: "Message was deleted without being read? (2)

  (Note: I posted this above subject in the Internet Explorer 8 Forum forgetting that Outlook is a desktop application.)  Apologies!)

   

  Hello;

   

  1) I recently received the following response to a serious investigation (Outlook Express 6):

  ... "Your message

  ........ To: ****

  ........ Topic: laptop... Sales

  ........ Sent: Fri, * Mar 2011 *.

  .... was deleted without being read on "Lun, *"

   

  2) I don't know how we could generate this message!

  If the recipient received the e-mail and read it and "didn't like it" or decided "not to answer', or the message was just displayed on the monitor and the recipient has not actually read the entire message and remove it, can it still send an auto-reply saying:

  "... your message was deleted without being read?

  It makes no sense! or does?

   

  3) however, if I add the email address of the sender to the "blocked senders" list, I continue to receive e-mails, but that they would go directly to the folder "deleted items", I can still read if I want, or delete them permanently from the system.

  The sender blocked in this case (any) would receive an automatic response: "... your message was deleted without being read?

  I have no way of knowing!

   

  Could someone please clarify?

   

  Thank you kindly.

  Monir  

  Then again for the third time:

  If you have sent a message to someone with a program bouncing what they consider spam, you can get a response like that.

  MailWasher has capabilities of rebound, but I don't know if it's their message or someone else. It is certainly not from OE.

  I try to export my email from Outlook Express 6 (6.00.2900.5512) on Win XP.  I choose File/Export/Messages and go as far as the message "this will export messages from Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange."

• Outlook express 6 messages bouncing Windows xp

  I use my email account Outlook Express 6 for a single computer.  Lately all my incoming messages have bounced because of the overload of the byte in the Inbox.  I deleted all of the messages in my Inbox so that sent, deleted, ect.  I don't know how to check to see if the messages are stored on the server.

  These two problems have been resolved.  It seems that my use of the e-mail was outdated and some clean cleaned executed progam the MyWebBar problem.

  Now, if I can get MSE to work properly

  It is not OE Inbox, the Inbox of your server is.
   
  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - uncheck: leave a copy of messages on the server.
  Close and open OE and if you still get the error message, log on to your e-mail server Webmail site and empty the Inbox here.
