Outlook express deletes several emails.

• Outlook Express, loss of emails from entry

  Outlook Express, 3 new emails have been consulted, then all previous emails and read not reading disappeared by simply clicking on the following email address. The last 3 emails remained, and everything was lost.

  On 'search' for ".dbx", found "Inbox (1). dbx", containing 3 current input emails and the"box of Inbox.dbx"which seems to contain all of the lost emails.

  How one to retrieve all emails "input"? Some files not lost anything else and no file added to 'delete '. Software "Outlook Repair Kit" would solve the problem?  If so who? The system uses - Windows XP Professional SP3 and Microsoft Outlook Express 6.

  You can do a right click on the Inbox in the folder list and access the properties to see what real file is using OE.  It seems as if the original Inbox.dbx box has been corrupted, so OE made a new one called Inbox (1) .dbx he uses now.   Before you do anything in the inbox.dbx file, make a copy in the case where the messages are still inside.  Then you can try to import as Bruce suggested (see also www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1).  But if you try and import it and its corrupt and there messages, OE can erase all content, so make sure you do a first backup (you should back up the store of the entire message at this stage).

  Also, check your Inbox and the message store to a file inbox.bak, which is a backup, if it exists and may contain lost messages.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

• When I open my Outlook Express download my email but I can't. The last email I have is on 26/11/10. How do my email newly downloaded?

  When I open my Outlook Express download my email but I can't.  The last email I have is on 26/11/10.  How do my email newly downloaded?

  You probably have too much in your Inbox.

  1. Move messages that you see in the user created folders.
  2. OE backup.
  3. Close and open OE.
  4. Compact your folders.

  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.

  Compress your OE folders:

  6: Uncheck work offline and make a manual send/receive.

  What now? If you still have questions, after return before doing anything else.

  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.

  When Outlook Express 6 detects emails from a name in the right column indicates the folder in which it is in. How can you tell which folder this folder is located in?

  OE does not have the capacity to tell you where the folder is located in the folder hierarchy.  You can select different trees under local folders to find what subfolder is and what kind of tree it is under.  Unless folders.dbx is corrupted (which happens a bit), then OE will not create folders for you.  If folders.dbx is corrupt or not, I would suggest that you backup the files and the registry (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) before things become corrupt, because you seem to have a complex organization from your e-mail folders.

• In Outlook Express deleted emails go to the trash folder and remain.

  Using Windows XP.  No matter what I do, I can't do these messages disappear and trash folders are becoming bigger and bigger.  This just started a few days ago.

  By trash, I assume you mean deleted items? Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.

• My older version of outlook express has several problems, will be these imported into a new account in thunderbird

  My older version of Outlook Express has acquired several problems. It is time for a change, these errors will be imported into a new account in Thunderbird. I hope that everything is based on the conviction that the two programs are completely different.

  You don't say what problems you have with OE, then how everyone has to guess?

  There is no such thing as a "Thunderbird account. You do not have an account with your email provider. To access this account, you can use OE, or Thunderbird.
  But Thunderbird isn't your e-mail provider.

• 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 sends Amazon emails in the trash?

  Hey smart people.
  I need your help please. During the month last Outlook Express suddenly began to send Amazon and Ebay emails directly in the folder "deleted".  Of course, this means that if I'm not careful, I could miss important emails. I have no rules set up message to tell Outlook Express to do that, with those who are clean, emails that are not in the list of 'blocked sender. Any ideas would be welcome.

  Thank you very much

  Graham.

  These messages would end at amazon.com and ebay.com, correct? See if you can find them in senders blocked in this way.
   
   
  OE | Tools | Message rules | List of blocked senders. Highlight the first address on the list. Click: Edit | Type in the address you want to remove. (Amazon.com) invites: "this address already exists, are you sure you want to replace it? Click Yes. The address will now be at the top of the list. Remove it.
   
   
  In the message rules, if you have a delete it or move generally deleted items, check them carefully. If you have a rule for example that removes zon.com or thebay.com, they will also remove the messages from Amazon and eBay.
   
   

• Newbie question: outlook express deletes messages from my hotmail account?

  I have several acouts hotmail.  I want to start using Outlook Express (or Eudora or other) as my email on my PC client but want full access to my emails on remote PCs via Explorer.  Outlook Express will download all the messages in my Inbox in?  Will he disappear from my hotmail account?  Or is he just leave my only hotmail accounts?

  You can access your Hotmail mailbox by using a POP account in Outlook Express and, Yes, unless you configure the account to leave messages on the server, it will remove them from the Inbox when it downloads, as well as all appropriate POP clients.  Simply set up the account in order to leave them on the server.  It will be on the Advanced tab of the account properties.  See this: http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=99d4b13d-13db-40d8-9cdf-172002d4194c

  Also, remember that access to a POP mailbox has no notion of folders.  Only what is in the Inbox will be visible to any client POP, whatever you use.

• Outlook Express: Cannot send emails, started by not being able to send attachments. Now can not send at all...

  Message says 'some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details. »

  No details will appear.  Some recipients said they received 17 messages in response to me, and yet always in e-mail Outbox. Help, please.

  I can send emails via webmail - so no problem with server I assume. Only in outlook express.

  It is not through Hotmail account, so I need to reconfigure that. Using Outlook Express 6.

  Thank you

  Go to the Outbox and delete the message.  Then go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give you a new message store that is corruption-free, and you can add your e-mail account and test it.  If it works fine, then use a file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

  Beware also of other programs such as antivirus software interferes with the operations of OE.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

• How can I stop Outlook Express to erase emails received on my iPad

  When I look at my emails via Outlook Express, the program deletes ALL my emails, I received on my iPad (read and unread messages). Is there a setting in the Outlook Express program that could prevent this from happening?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Using POP3 in Outlook Express?

  If so - is not Outlook Express failure or iPads - is the lack of understanding.  If you use POP3 and do not leave messages on the server - so you literally make a copy of messages on the server with Outlook Express and remove server.

  Probably just iPad connects to the server (imap or something) and looks like what is on the server - if you have POP had everything, there is nothing there.

  See how you can configure your e-mail with your email provider to leave email on the server, if you intend to continue to work in this way.

• Outlook express download old emails read like new unread emails whenever it is open

  What Steve said, but I'll elaborate on that a bit.

  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server. Then, remove the Pop3uidl.dbx file. You will get the messages once more, but it should be.
