  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.

• Outlook Express downloads e-mail messages for the 2nd time which have been read and deleted a few weeks ago.

  Outlook Express downloads e-mail messages for the 2nd time which have been read and deleted a few weeks ago.  This happens periodically.  Repeated messages are usually a week.

  Maybe they are still on the server (server of your ISP). Make sure that you don't leave copies of messages downloaded from the ISP server that may cause duplicate messages to download.

  It's the only thing I can think of.

  If you are unsure how to check your messages via the Internet site of the ISP, then check with them about how you do that. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services

• 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?

  Column of Outlook Express folder in find

  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.

• How to make records with their emails in them to Outlook Express 5 (old pc) for Outlook Express 6 (new pc)?

  Here's the situation: old PC (running XP) running Outlook Express 5. I want to export files as well as e-mail in these worms a new pc still running XP but running Outlook Express 6. When you import I can't import Outlook Express 5 stuff, it only gives me the choice between Outlook Express 4 and Outlook Express 6. So any ideas? You really learn these files (emails not only) and the emails from Outlook Express 5 to Outlook Express on the new PC 6 (old PC).

  Someone said to upgrade the old pc Outlook Express 5 to Outlook Express 6, and then create an export, but I don't know which would work because if I do an upgrade from 5 to 6 on old PC, he would see even the oldest post which could be seen on Outlook Express 5?

  I need to test this theory out before returning to the customer, but both my XP machines running Outlook Express 6, Outlook Express 5, who is older not. Download Outlook Express: I can't find anywhere! I know it came with IE 6 download, but I can't find that IE 6 download anywhere either. Any suggestions?

  Ideally I want to just take the Outlook Express 5 files and emails and import them into Outlook Express 6, but the new Outlook Express 5 is not a choice when it comes to import. If I knew for sure I could upgrade Outlook Express 5 on the old pc for Outlook Express 6 and I wouldn't lose those emails and Outlook Express 6 could see emails: I just do it and then choose export to the format of Outlook Express 6, but who would even work?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

• Outlook express sending same email over and over again... keeps an email to outbok, looks like it may not be placed in "sent items"... Help

  Outlook express email

  Always there?

  Create a new Outbox and sent items folder.

  Follow these steps for the Outbox and sent items after you move the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  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.

  With OE closed, find the Outbox.dbx and Sent Items.dbx file and remove them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

  To avoid this in the future:

  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.

• Lost Outlook Express folders and emails

  When Outlook Express 6 is closed yesterday a messaged poped asking if I would like to compress (?) Outlook.I you click Yes, and then shut down my computer, once he had finished.

  When you open outlook today however I lost all of my subfolders of the Inbox and all emails in them as well.

  How can I do to get these back because there are some important information in them.

  Thank you.

  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? :

  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.
   
  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:
  [Link removed]

  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:

• Outlook express deletes several emails.

  original title: DELETE OE tool function deletes the unintentional mails from Inbox

  When I did read an email in my Inbox RECEIVE Outlook Express, I normally use the Red DELETE button at the top of the toolbar. I noticed recently, when I do this, it removes not only my intended message, but then removes another message above that I also want to delete (it's as IF she double removes or 'stick' by pressing the button DELETE). Anyone can seem to help me?  My mouse speed is to slow down and I don't know what can be the problem, it's suddenly not something of the past).

  I agree with delicate it is something in the mice.  It could also be related to what you have changed the settings of the mouse and the mouse more slowly could send a command twice.  You can play with this setting also to see if that's it.

  I doubt that it is a wrong identity, but it won't hurt to try a new and see if the problem persists.

• 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, 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

  Otherwise see the answer of Bruce.

• BlackBerry smartphones download old Emails on BlackBerry with IMAP

  I just got a BB Curve 8330 Sprint and set up my IMAP e-mail account. I'm on a Mac, and PocketMac is not a useful way to get my email from Mail.app on my BlackBerry. My BB works fine when I get a new email: it is visible on the BB before it appears on the computer. My problem, however, is that I want all of my old emails and files downloaded on my BB. Because of my previous experiences with IMAP, I thought that when they were connected the BB would automatically download all of these emails and folders, but I could not do make or find answers online. So I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how you solved. Nothing don't that seems to be working.

  Thank you.

  not possible unless you transfer all your emails to yourself

  BB will capture only whats new from the time that you integrate the e-mail account to your BB

• Why TB keep download old emails

  I'm running win7 and 38.3 TH. Every now and then, TB upload old emails that I have. How to avoid this?

  There are three cases I know, not the fault of Thunderbird.

  1. the email provider reindexes the mail on the server. (You can do anything, but becomes more common with Yahoo mail and those who use it as BT and AAT)
  2. your anti-virus interferes with the download of the Thunderbird point can't seem to save the State of POP downloads information. (Turn off email scanning in Anti virus)
  3. hard drive corruption that allows access to the State stored file impossible. (Run a disk repair utility)
