  Outlook express duplicate messages

  We recently had Comcast to att uverse & changed our settings in outlook express but now receive duplicate e-mail messages.  I have leave copy on the server checked so that we can access our messages from multiple computers, do not know if there is anything else that needs to be changed to avoid this problem.

  Pretty much confirms that it is outside interference. You have McAfee on both machines? Close all programs and temporarily disable McAfee on both machines. Send a short test message now.

  Norton and McAfee are two of the worst programs to use with Windows e-mail clients. They cause conflicts and must be removed in favour of a less intrusive program like NOD32, (not free), Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials, (both free). I use MSE on all my machines and it works fine.

• Outlook Express emails received no sender, subject and content in the code

  Message posted on the office forum, but someone suggested that I should post in the Windows forum?

  I use Outlook Express for years to receive my emails.  My ISP is BT I have multiple email accounts coming via Outlook Express and the problem does not occur with any identifiable pattern.  10 emails from ebay arrived at the same time - the first 2 were fine the next two had no sender, no topic and perhaps HTML code looks like in content, 2 were very well the next information was missing and then another was fine, etc.

  I downloaded and installed all the updates from Microsoft, but that does not change.

  An e-mail this morning that came to two of my email addresses was good one and the information on the other missing.

  When I checked my e-mail via webmail on Yahoo, all emails had senders, subjects and relevant content.

  I use Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8, and Outlook Express 6.

  I would be grateful for any help.

  Thank you

  Outlook Express has nothing to do with Microsoft Office. That's why they sent you here. This is the right forum for OE.

  You have all these accounts set up in the very identity of OE? Your problem may be due to a variety of reasons, your security for one program.

  What program do you use for security? Make sure that's not incoming or outgoing e-mail scanning.

  If that's not the answer, set up 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.

  Also, observe the following 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.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  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.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program.

• migration of Outlook Express email in windows mail (windows 7)

  Recently bought a new laptop with windows 7, now facing a big problem.

  I works on Outlook Express in Windows XP in my computer earlier and have loads of data in her e-mail. After buying the new notebook with windows 7 without knowing the fact that Windows 7 does not support Outlook Express, I'm now completely stuck, helpless and I have no way instead of continuing my use of my old notebook with Windows XP to access my emails in Outlook Express as I take references for old mails unlike the response.

  I have done the back up of my Outlook Express and copied in Windows mail in Windows 7 laptop, but it didn't work...

  Kindly help me in migrating Outlook Express emails to Windows 7 with the steps that is the big question of mine.

  I would be grateful if someone revert soon.

  You try to use Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail? If the latter...

  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.

  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.

  I need to group together all messages from e-mail in a PC and to retire the first PC.

  This could be problematic. I guess or OE is over? This would make it easy.
   
  One thing you could do requires some manual work, but much less removal of dupes. For example, the Inbox. In the machine, you are going to scrap, create a new folder and move all messages in your Inbox to it. After you import on the other machine, you can drag the messages you need this folder in the Inbox, and then remove the user created the folder.
   
  And then there are tools to remove the dupes. This one for example.

• Connected to Outlook Express and all my existing e-mails have disappeared

  original title: Outlook Express

  Connected to Outlook Express and all my existing e-mails have disappeared.  Only those today showed.  I tried using the search of .eml files and get no results.  Can anyone help with location on the hard drive the .eml files?  Thank you.

  You won't find files for Outlook Express .eml. They are stored in the format of data in the form of .dbx files.

  ******************************************

  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.

  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:
  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:
