  • Mail in Outlook Express 6 does not leave the box shipping and beneficiaries say they receive multiple copies of the same message.

    original title: Outlook Express 6.0

    Recently, when I send an e-mail message by using Outlook Express 6.0 three things happen:

    (1) he does not leave the Outbox, unless I have to go in and manually remove it.

    (2) my report of recipients receiving multiple copies of the same message (for example, received the same email 6 times)

    (3) my sent folder is not updated with the emails I sent.

    I'd appreciate any help that could be offered.

    Thank you!

    Your sent items folder is corrupted.  Move or copy messages from the folder that you want to keep.  Then close OE and delete the file sent items.dbx and outbox.dbx (hidden).  OE will then create new ones, and that should solve the problem.

    Because your files has been corrupted, you might consider backup before they get completely corrupt and in addition, you could go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give you a base of new messages, not corrupted, and you then go to file | Import | Messages and import them from the old identity.

  • I'm using Outlook Express and from time to time, the box "leave a copy of messages on the server" becomes disabled automatically.

    Hi, Im using Outlook Express and from time to time, box "leave a copy of messages on the server" becomes disabled automatically.

    Ive checked the Task Manager, its not running after close Outlook.

    Appreciate your comments.

    This can be dependent on ISP or it could just be OE spoil.  I saw this happen at any time.  You can try to backup the message store, and then delete the mail account completely (you will not lose messages).  The file to run. Folder | All compact.  Then close and reopen OE and then add the account back again.  See if things stick after that.

  • what I set thunderbird as my default to receive my email here and not in my old outlook express account?

    I do not see my new email here, how does it express Outlook, what I set as my default here?

    Designating a default mail client has no meaning for the reception of messages.

    Most likely your account is a pop POP is usually configured to delete messages from the server. If Outlook get message first, he will be gone from the server so you will not be able to get more in Thunderbird.

    If you want to display messages in two e-mail clients to configure one to leave messages on the server.

    Having said that, what is the point running times, Outlook Express and Thunderbird?

  • Cannot access Outlook Express email on computer so open on iPhone

    I can't access Outlook Express on my computer recently, I opened my email on my iPhone.  A way to solve this very annoying problem?

    You cannot access Outlook Express, or you cannot access mail on Outlook Express?

    If mail: OE has this option: tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server. You also need to find the equivalent of this on your iPhone and check there as well.

    On a single computer only, check to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space you get from your server, but you give the possibility to download at once.

  • Why my emails are deleted 9/20 on today from outlook express?

    I had over 100 emails disappear from 9/21 - today who has suddenly disappeared. What's happening w / outlook express?

    They got probably deleted the file.  If this is the case, check the Recycle Bin for the bak files are backups of dbx files or restore from a backup.  If you have no backup, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) may be able to extract the messages from the file, if they are still there, or from the disk, if they are still on the disk clusters.

    In the future, it is important to back up frequently, as often happens, especially if you leave the files go through a few hundred megabytes.

  • Outlook Express sent folder keeps empty ALL my e-mail sent. Help!

    Hello - in the last month that my sent folder Outlook Express has been completely emptied twice. It is NOT something that I have reaquested, nor is it something that would be easily done accidentally, once again twice. I got emails dating back years. I noticed that my Outlook Express has become a newer or different, as well. If I create a new email I now have tabs down to offering Edit, Source and preview. I HOPE someone knows what's going on, and if the former sent is stored somewhere and can be restored. In addition, I want to stop happening. I am grateful for the assistance of those in the know! If possible, please answer to the * address email is removed from the privacy * thank you!

  • How can I configure Outlook Express 6 to receive mail and my smart phone.

    original title: Outlook Express

    I recently bought a smart phone and set up the email.

    Now, all the e-mail goes directly on my phone.

    How to configure Outlook Express 6 to allow a copy of my mail to get to my phone and Outlook?

    Please don't say Outlook and Outlook Express in the same sentence. They are completely different programs.

    In OE: Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server. On your "smart" phone, you must do the equivalent.

    OE or your smart phone, you want to check for delete after X days. Enough time to get the messages on both, but not exceed your space on your e-mail server.

    Even if you have me say what kind of phone and which provider you use, I could not help you any further. If you don't see the option on your phone, call your support of wireless technology. You pay for it in your contract and they should be happy to help you.

  • Get rid of OUTLOOK EXPRESS

    She has just appeared on my computer... I find it very annoying!

    I don't know what it means 'just jumped on my computer', but if you see a message like this:

    To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

    Here is the information you need to know about what to do (maybe you just need the "BOLD" part), but it may help someone else someday.  This was composed after a few committed Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert' tried to fix for someone suggesting to try things which could never work... so I thought I would help them.

    I advise all to first understand what is happening and then decide how best to treat for your environment:

    If you are talking about a message that says:

    To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

    Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

    If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

    Compact Check Count

    It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

    \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

    Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment (increment is not a verb so you can't increment something and a counter cannot be incremented).  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

    There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

    Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

    If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it works which is usually at least at each reboot.

    If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

    Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which again will increase the counter whenever the system reboots, so when the meter reaches 100, Windows Desktop Search invite you to compress messages at the next reboot even if you use not OE.

    This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using OE or not.

    No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

    Did you know that the "increase" is not a verb?  If you cannot 'increment' (or decrement) a counter.  You can increase or decrease an increment, however.

    You can compress the database when you are prompted as he tells you to do (which resets the counter to 0).

    You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

    If you do not use Outlook Express, and only by using Windows Desktop Search you will see this message later, but you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

    To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

    After the Outlook Express recommended for use (which would include the normal database maintenance) will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

    Most people using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search agree just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

    Windows Desktop Search is a memory and CPU of pigs anyway, so if you have installed, I recommend you just uninstall and your system will give you better performance.
