• Conversion of Outlook Express .dbx to Microsoft Live Mail issue box for receiving and sending files conversion

  I am able to convert most of my old Outlook Express files to Microsoft Live Mail, with the exception of the Inbox, and send files.   The two files are not empty.  My OS is Windows 7 64 bit.  The 'Files' file is located in the directory with the .dbx files.  Most of the files have been converted except these two.  The converted file sent.

  Can advise you on what to do to fix this?  I need the information contained in the Inbox, and send.   I have more access to Outlook Express.

  Best regards, Kat

  Unless you left no messages in the Outbox, it must be empty. Messages are just going through there on the way to your mail server.
   
   
  Folders.dbx is the "brain" of the system of dbx files and contains all the actual messages.
   
   
  Now regarding the messages from the Inbox, I don't know why they won't matter in Windows Live Mail. You compact the folders in OE before saving the message store? WLMail has great trouble with import of dbx files. How do you backup and transfer the storage of OE with dbx files folder?
   
   
  If you still have access to the machine with OE, it would be easy to fix. Given that you don't do it, you probably have two options.
   
   
  If you have professional, enterprise or ultimate edition, you can use OE in XP Mode. Who can import all the messages and then we can transfer it to WLMail.

• Convert .dbx to .pst Outlook files (from outlook express).

  Hey guys,.

  I have searched and tried all the suggestions from Google, but they are not the solutions that I can use. I have the entire Outlook Express .dbx folder just 2 files. I need to convert .pst or at least be able to import them into Outlook 2007. I was able to recover only 2 files .dbx from the old computer and am running WIndows 7 Professional with Outlook 2007 on the new computer that I want to get the 2 .dbx files in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Google shows some converters free and paid, and some of those paid have a trial period.
  http://www.Google.com/search?q=dbx+to+eml+converter&RLS=com.Microsoft: en - us & ie = UTF-8 & oe = UTF-8 & startIndex = & startPage = 1

  Note that I've never used Outlook or a converter, it's just a guess. When you use OE, you could drag a folder in OE messages in a Windows folder on the desktop. You can then copy this folder on another machine, open it, highlight all messages and drag them into a folder in OE. Or drag them to a folder in Windows Live Mail. I guess if you got messages as eml, you could drag them into an Outlook folder as well.

• How to merge 2 files of Outlook Express dbx

  How can I combine 2 DBX files with the same name (Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP) into one?

  PS a Automatic compaction of my sent items box is not a month. So, all of my sent emails disappear from Outlook Express. Save sent messages before the crash was created and is always available. There was no immediate response to the situation, because I was out of town. In the meantime, my family sent messages and created a new Sent Items.dbx file. In order not to lose any of the messages sent, fusion of envoys Sent Items.dbx (recent posts) and Items.bak (older messages) is necessary.

  YW. You don't need analysis to all of the e-mail messages. Your attachments will always be analysed by your security program without worrying.

• Conversion of Outlook, Outlook Express messages

  I specified my own directory for the message Outlook Express (.dbx) files. Now I can't convert them in a tp of .pst files transfer to my new Windows 7 laptop. When I try to export, nothing happens.

  I don't have a direct response to your export problem, but you still have access to Outlook Express? If you do, you can create a Windows folder on the desktop and drag the messages in an OE folder to it. Open Outlook and drag messages from the desktop folder to an Outlook folder.
   
   

• Outlook Express - repair/restoration of corrupted DBX files

  Hello

  I recently lost a number of local folders in my Outlook Express (OE) I found in the store DBX. However OE does not read/open them very probably because they are corrupt. It is apparently a common problem.

  I searched and found a few tools that claim to repair/recover corrupted DBX and I tried three demo versions. None of them were able to repair corrupt DBX files. One of the tools has been honest enough to admit that some files may be irremediably, and he provided a full scan of the drive that found a number of lost/deleted messages, some of which were originally in the records the of OE that I had lost. Although no no trouble so far, no cost using the versions demo.

  A number of experts suggested a tool called DBXPRESS claiming to recover the corrupted DBX files. Unfortunately, no demo version is available as proof of effectiveness before buy you.

  Are repairable corrupted DBX files, as claimed by the softwar ecompanies and if so, how, and with what software?
  As it is a common and potentially disastrous problem, not Microsoft should be persuaded to provide a radical solution to avoid a manual tedious backup process.

  All views / advice is much appreciated.

  Concerning

  Outlook Express is an e-mail and news client supplied with Internet Explorer. Outlook Express is a different application from MS Outlook. The two programs do not share a common code base, but share a common architectural philosophy. Outlook Express uses the Windows address book to store contact information and integrates tightly with it. Microsoft Internet Mail and News was a freeware e-mail and news client and ancestor of Outlook Express.

  The executable file of Outlook Express, msimn.exe, is a remnant of the era Internet Mail and News. Internet Mail and News managed only plain text and rich text email ( RTF), lack of HTML e-mail message.

  Outlook Express has been subject to a number of problems which can corrupt its files database, especially when the database increases volume due to the increase in number of stored emails and during compaction of the database.

  The dbx file Corruption can occur due to these reasons:

  1 MSIMN has caused an IPF in module Msoe.dll.

  2 MSIMN caused a page fault in module Msoe.dll at address.

  3 outlook Express could not be started. It cannot be installed correctly. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you're not out of memory.

  4 outlook Express could not be started because Msoe.dll could not be initialized. Outlook Express is not installed properly.

  Outlook Express stores e-mail messages in the databases that have a .dbx file extension. Each folder in Outlook Express (same subfolders) has a database that are associated with; so if you have 20 folders you have twenty databases. The databases have the same name files so the Inbox folder has a database called Inbox.dbx.

  In these cases over corruption is probably in the file "Folders.dbx". It's the main index more of the entirety of the record Store and without it, Outlook Express is unable to do anything, in this case, the only solution is to delete the file corrupted in the storage folder. This will allow Outlook Express to start and to build a new "Folders.dbx" by re-indexing of all the DBX files it finds in the storage folder.

  For lost information, follow these steps:

  1. recreate your e-mail folders hierarchy by dragging files in place in the list of folders. Note that any folder that you've created to group sub files but that does not itself contain messages will not appear in the list of the files and must be recreated.

  2 re - download the list of groups of discussion of each news account.

  3 reset your subscribed discussion groups and re-download the messages.

  4. set options on IMAP folder synchronization and newsgroup.

  5. modify a message rule that moves or copies the messages in folders other than the Inbox.

  Here are the steps from which you can return the loss of information. And if your information not recovered again then it could be a serious problem. In this case, go for the recovery software to recover your data from dbx files. I can send you a link that can surely help you recover your lost data. Try this link:

  Good bye.

• How to turn on the old box of Inbox.dbx is visible in Outlook Express?

  Original title: outlook express.

  My Inbox.dbx OE Inbox is full. When I create the new Inbox.dbx box, I can send/receive emails but can not see my old mails which is very important for me. So please give me any suggestions so that I can see the e-mails of my two different boxes.

  You can't have two different boxes.  If you get a message stating that your Inbox is full, it is perhaps on the server and not from OE itself.  This means that there are too many messages on the server and you need to clean them out of it.

  Otherwise, if the message is that the Inbox is too large, then you must create a new Inbox and you can try to import the old one using a different name for the folder.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

  Dbx files should not exceed two gigabytes in size, so if you have one of this size or close, you have to move messages to other folders so that when they are analyzed in smaller size files.  Folders in OE will not exceed a few hundred megabytes or they will be damaged and you lose messages.

  It is also a good idea at this point to make a backup.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

• How can I repair file DBX corrupted outlook express.

  2 GB of data is available canned Inbox.dbx, but because of the corrupt header files dbx or any other problem, I'm not able to see the mails.

  Kindly help.

  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.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

  Recovery tools:

  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:

• How can I find dbx file so that I can remove it. I am unable to open Outlook Express

  How can I find dbx file so that I can remove it.  I'm unable to open outlook express

  Original title: dbx file

  You try to remove Folders.dbx?
   
   
  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.
   
  The path to the message will be very similar to this:
   
  C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express
   
  With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically 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. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.

• My Outlook Express gives me an 0x800C0133 error. Impossible to delete my messages from the Inbox. Also, I don't find the file indox.dbx.

  I read the post on the copy the messages from the Inbox to another folder.  I tried, but get an error message.  I decided that I would just delete all but the messages will not delete.  I used the search function of windows to search for inbox.dbx, but he could not find the file.  I have a large number of messages in my Inbox and its ok if I lose all.  I get the error message when I start outlook express and download messages from my pop3 e-mail.  It still downloads messages from one of my other emails which is also a pop3 server.  I have windows xp pro and it is completely up to date.  Thank you...

• Answer the 11/24 got outlook express works GREAT but 1 problem. Deleted items.dbx will not delete. Can you help me or is it a problem?

  Response from you on 11/24 got outlook express works.  THANK_YOU! A problem you suggested deltting Deleted Items.dbx hidden file.  This will not remove.  Poster data error (cyclic Redundancy Check) can help, or are - this a problem?

  Roger

  You should always respond to the original thread so that we know what you're talking about.
   
  1. What have you done so far?
  2. OE closed when you tried to remove the dbx file?
  If you are unable to delete the file, use a new 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.

  With some software I downloaded, can I see emails but no way to extract them again in OE. Is there a Microsoft tool supported as for Office Outlook scanpst retrieve Outlook Express messages?

  You see a lot of messages in the Inbox? You can move them?
   
  1. Save your messages before you do anything. You can do this by creating a new identity and import all of your messages. Do this and then come back to the identity of the problem.
  2. Create folders and move messages from the Inbox to them.
  3. Compact of the Inbox.

• Conversion from Outlook Express to Outlook would solve the problem?

  I have the same problem with Outlook Express, that many have. When it does not, the only option is to restart the computer. When I do, I get an error message:

  'end of program - DirectDBNotifyWndProc.

  This program is not responding.

  If I convert my outlook express to OUTLOOK with that to solve the problem? Anyone know?

  You must remove folders.dbx and then OE opens.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7

  Once you get OE open, then you can follow the advice of Bruce to set up a new identity.  Once this does not work very well, and then click file | Import | Messages to bring them into the new identity.

  OE has problems with its Bank of messages and data, that's why you got the error at first.  So make sure that you perform frequent backups of messages, because sometimes they get corrupted and lose you.  See the other points on this page referenced above, in particular, #3, 4, and 6.

• Cannot open Outlook Express dbx files saved

  I backed up all of my Outlook Express folders and now I can not open them. They have all of the .dbx endings. How can I restore them?

  If you have saved all of the directory, copy it to the desktop computer and right-click on the file and check properties to ensure that they are not read-only.  Then go to file | Import | Messages in OE and choose to import from a directory, and point to this directory.  To import a single dbx file, see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

• Outlook Express was really a huge box of Inbox.dbx so not a lot of emails in the Inbox

  I'm trying to help manage professional XP my main parent with Service Pack 2. I found the box of Inbox.dbx is over 1 GB. But when I really entered in Outlook Express I saw only 5 emails it with text content very limited in the Inbox. I also checked the "Deleted" folder and it's empty. Nothing in other folders.

  1. how the file is so large, while there is no much in there? I know that there might be a lot of emails before, but I was told they were all deleted months back.

  2. How can I get the file compacted in its actual size (for 7 e-mail that she actually owns)? I tried to change the store to see if Outlook Express creates a new store with only 7 emails in this file. But the new created files were exactly the same size as the 'old'.

  Hope someone can give me advice. Thank you.

  Are you sure that you look at the correct storage folder?

  If you are not interested in the search for missing messages, and you just want to clean it, move the 7 messages to a user created folder. Close OE and delete the Inbox.dbx file. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE and IIRC, it should be 139KO in size for an empty Inbox.

  If you try to retrieve messages, post back before doing anything.

  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.
