Outlook express disappeared the day overnight, as well as emails and account settings

2 questions:

(1) overnight, outlook express disappeared, along with all its parameters. I understand that this is now transferred to windows mail...   HOWEVER, how can I get my POP settings, etc., (to set up windows mail) as well as all my emails stored?  These important!

(2) all my favorites from Internet Explorer disappeared...

I am running Windows Vista and have made for at least 2 years...  Suddenly disappeared from one day to the next.

Outlook Express is part of XP and has never been a part of Vista...

Vista came with Windows Mail as default mail program.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything you did, try this:

Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

See you soon.

    In addition to comments of Bruce, likely OE compacted messages and in doing so, he probably wiped out the where they are absent.  Check your Inbox and message store bak files which are backups dbx files prior to compaction (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2).  If you cannot find the bak files, then you will probably use the extract of the service drive of my DBXpress program (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).

  • messages lost in Outlook Express in the month of September 2011.

    messages lost in outlook express in the month of September 2011 and they reappeared last week, then again disappeared. How to restore the mEssages'.

    1. View | Current view. Is checked all show messages?
    2. What is a pop3 account?

    If the answer is Yes, then the two main reasons 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:
    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:

  • I can't send emails in Outlook Express. "The connection to the server has failed."

    original title: cannot send Emails

    Operating System: Windows XPAntivirus program: McAfee Antivirus

    I have two email addy on Outlook Express 6.0 that have worked well for years.  Now, for the last 3 weeks, I can only receive mail among the addy.  I can not send and get the error:

    "The connection to the server failed. "Account: 'mail.bellspalsy.ws', server: 'mail.bellspalsy.ws', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 10060, error number: 0x800CCC0E".

    I checked with my ISP, Verizon.  They tried a few things and said Outlook contact.  I also checked with the email provider of the email addy that does not work.  They said that there is nothing wrong at their end.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    As far as I KNOW, Verizon is blocking SMTP email from Outlook (or any other mail program), unless you use a Verizon email via their SMTP server.

    Your server is mail.bellspalsy.ws, since Verizon block port 25 (smtp), that the post does not turn off.

    Option 1. Use Verizon email address and their server.

    Option 2. Whether mail.bellspalsy.ws can accept other ports and change it in Outlook.

    Option 3. Use a Webmail via the browser.

  • Can I transfer my file to outlook express on the desktop?

    I currently have outlook express on my laptop.  I recently purchased a top of desktop with Windows 7.  Can I transfer my file to outlook express on the desktop?

    Windows Live Mail is the replacement of the so-called for Outlook Express and Windows Mail for Vista. Personally, I can't stand it and use Thunderbird, but it's my preference, and who knows, you might like WLMail.
     
     
     
     
    Support for Windows Live Mail can be found here.
     
     
    Others include, Pegasus, Eudora, Opera and much more.
     
     
    If you go with WLMail, here are the instructions. More detailed information is available in the forum WLMail.
     
     
    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:
     
    For Messages:
     
    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
     
    Location of OE message store:
     
    In OE: 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 icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    For addresses:
     
    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
     
    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.
     
    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.
     
    For the account settings:
     
    In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

  • Outlook Express 'occasionally' lose all chronological periods of my emails.

    Outlook Express 'occasionally' lose all chronological periods of my emails.  For example, in 2010 a whole block of sequential emails missing covering more years ' worth of saved emails.  Today, April 4, 2011 all emails since last February has disappeared from my Inbox.  I use the family XP Edition version.
