• Get rid of OUTLOOK EXPRESS

  She has just appeared on my computer... I find it very annoying!

  I don't know what it means 'just jumped on my computer', but if you see a message like this:

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

  Here is the information you need to know about what to do (maybe you just need the "BOLD" part), but it may help someone else someday.  This was composed after a few committed Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert' tried to fix for someone suggesting to try things which could never work... so I thought I would help them.

  I advise all to first understand what is happening and then decide how best to treat for your environment:

  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 (increment is not a verb so you can't increment something and a counter cannot be incremented).  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 works which is usually at least 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 again will increase the counter whenever the system reboots, so when the meter reaches 100, Windows Desktop Search invite you to compress messages at the next reboot even if you use not OE.

  This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using OE 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.

  Did you know that the "increase" is not a verb?  If you cannot 'increment' (or decrement) a counter.  You can increase or decrease an increment, however.

  You can compress the database when you are prompted as he tells you to do (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 by using Windows Desktop Search you will see this message later, but you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

  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.

  After the Outlook Express recommended for use (which would include the normal database maintenance) 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).

  Most people using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search agree 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.

  Windows Desktop Search is a memory and CPU of pigs anyway, so if you have installed, I recommend you just uninstall and your system will give you better performance.

• Outlook Express can compact messages. How can I disable this error?

  OUTLOOK Express on Windows XP very annoying, it's almost each and every time I click on anything whether to open or close any program, etc...

  An error message is displayed: OUTLOOK Express: to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.

  This can take up to a few minutes.      OK or CANCEL

  It's on my computer for several years now and bugs the heck out of me.  How can I remove it so he won't?

  ALSO: All programs when opening are reduced to the minimum (small format) forces me to click on the big box next to the RED X at the top right?

  Why this is happening and how to remove this problem.  I do NOT need to expand all my programs constantly from the start?

• Outlook Express automatically 'spam' messages... deleted?

  When Outlook Express download since my mail server it automatically deletes messages, that he sees as spam and I swallowed in a folder that opens temporarily out of the deleted items folder, and then exits.  But I never find where these downloaded messages and missing persons are passed (and they are not in the McAffee Spam folder).  Where these messages go and how can I find them?

  OE and McAfee do not work well together.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 at a minimum, you must disable the analysis of e-mail and antispam functionality and then remove your e-mail account and add it back again.  Then OE should work better.  Even better would be to remove McAfee and get something less invasive such as www.microsoft.com/security_essentials .  But this isn't a matter of OE you meet, but rather a McAfee publishes.  The messages are probably removed from the file and place the file is filled with zeros there where the messages were - that has been my experience anyway.  But then the OE database is not in agreement with what is actually there, and things OE even deleted messages from McAfee are still there.

• Upgrade to Microsoft 2010 and have now lost all my Outlook Express emails!

  Hello

  Yesterday, I upgraded my pc from 2007 to 2010 from microsoft, I had no idea that outlook express is no longer taken in charge & a so don't had not saved anything express before the upgrade.

  I used two Outlook + outlook express to run 2 separate email accounts.  How Outlook works well and moved all my old mails/contacts.  Express however is not found, I can't open it.

  I have installation the other account on the new perspectives, he transferred the emails from the last 30 days, which lie on the mail server, but nothing beyond that, plus all of my files are missing & what is the most important!

  Please help me, I got hundreds of emails that are very important to me and I am in despair that they have all been lost.

  Thank you, Emma

  If you use Windows XP (which I assume you're OE does not work on any latest system) then by installing Office does NOT remove Outlook Express.

  He can't because Outlook Express is part of Internet Explorer, which is part of Windows.

  I think that Outlook has replced just the icon of EO for mail.

  Do a search for msimn.exe

  You should find it in c:\program files\outlook express.

  Then you can add back a shortcut on your desktop.

• Outlook Express 6 frozen

  Since I did the process of compacting Outlook Express can't open or delete e-mails using the mouse or the keyboard. I tried closing and restarting and nothing helps. I have tried to re-boot my system and which does not help either.

  I suggest that you should already be saving your messages. OE uses a database that is very fragile.
   
  I've never heard of anyone losing messages when deleting Folder.dbx well and I stayed in this during nine years.
   
   

• 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.

  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.

• Outlook express - identity change?

  I've been running OE 6 on XP Pro v for a few years and it is little by little unpredictable unstable - particularly slow while booting. He regularly offers to compress files unnecessarily.   I don't think that disk space is a problem.  Some MS experts once advised me that the switching of identities was the cure for most of the problems based on the register of OE.  I don't like fiddling with the registry, by ignorance.  I have lots of folders to OE and subfolders to answer to the.  Can someone please explain to me in simple basic steps exactly what are the procedures for changing identity and I guess that transfer matching one ID to another without screwing up my database. I use "OE Quick Backup" but have not yet had the opportunity to use it to restore. How would this work for an ID different is conjecture.  Thank you.

  File | Identities | Add the new identity and follow the instructions. 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.
   
  You use account settings even if you follow the prompts.
   
   
  Import:
   
  For your messages:
   
  In the old identity, firstly, compact all your folders.
   
  In the new identity: file | Import | Messages. Select Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and import from the old identity.
   
  To your address book:
   
  Open the address book in the old identity and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Then, open the address book in the new identity and file | Import | Address book (wab), and then tap on where it was saved.
   
   
   
  Start and post back with more questions.

  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 .
