Outlook Express - icon and Mail notification sound?

Something happened to my Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5512. I used to have an icon that would come in my taskbar at the bottom right of my screen (I think it's what his name) and chimes would be ding when I received the mail. It does not now.

The only thing I've done is replace my dead battery backup last week by the same model.

Ideas?

Thank you

The sound is not related to this icon. Missing the two? If OE is open and that you send yourself a message you hear the sound?

Right click on the taskbar | Properties | Tab taskbar | Customize. Find notification of new mail and make sure that the behavior is always display. (It will not appear if there are no unread mail).

In the control panel. Sounds and Audio devices | Sounds, scroll to its new mail and test. You can also choose a different sound, as it is possible that it has become corrupted.

    Windows XP SP3 - Outlook Express receives and sends messages, but do not delete received messages.  Can you help?

    You have corruption of dbx files.
     
    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close 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.
     
    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    Compact all folders as described below.
     
    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.

    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.

    Hi all

    I am facing a problem regarding outlook express. I installed a few days back and started working on it. But after a few days, I realized that all my e-mails that were previously stored in my email account has been transferred to outlook express. And if I have access to my account from any remote system (which has not installed outlook) I can't access any of my emails coz, it shows an empty Inbox in the account. If any of you people who read this querry can help me I would really appreiciate your concern. I just want my email in my email from outlook account. Thank you.

  • 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

  • I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message 'too big for the server.

    I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message "too big for the server" responses I've seen so far tell me absolutely nothing

    Well, the error message says it all.  "" too big for server".

    There is a limit imposed by your ISP/mail server, which you don't mention.

    Not only the servers have limits on the size, this is not necessarily the same for incoming and outgoing messages.

    If you say you use the e-mail program and the name of your e-mail server, maybe we can shed light on the more specific issue, but the problem is definitely with them and not Outlook Express.

    P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by 'signature'

  • Problems with Outlook Express (address book, mail open, etc.)

    Hi, I have a strange problem with my outlook express. The program opens ok, it synchronize the e-mail with the servers and so on. If you click on an email in the upper part of the window you can see the content below.
    Now, this is my problem, I can not doubleclick on an email to open it, I can't send an email or forward it. I can't open the address book.
    I get different messages, "it was not possible to open the address book, it cannot be installed correctly", "the message could not be opened, an error has occurred", "it was not possible to load the due address book that Outlook Express is not properly configured. Reinstall Outlook Express"and so on.
    I used this software for many years and the problem came from one day to the other. I tried to uninstall/reinstall the program from the Control Panel, I did a repair on XP installation, but it is always the same, is there anyone who has an idea (I know that Outlook Express is and old program, but it works very well for my needs).

    What about Nils

    First, try a new identity and see if that helps.

    You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identity | 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.

    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

    If the problem persists, start looking here.

    All of these errors have the same cause.  Something is screwed up with your address book.

    It could be several specific problems, which include:

    -damaged or incompatible DLL files for the addressbook
    -have OE set to use the Outlook98 / 2000 + contacts instead of the WAB
