  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.

  When I open my Outlook Express download my email but I can't.  The last email I have is on 26/11/10.  How do my email newly downloaded?

  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 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 sends Amazon emails in the trash?

  Hey smart people.
  I need your help please. During the month last Outlook Express suddenly began to send Amazon and Ebay emails directly in the folder "deleted".  Of course, this means that if I'm not careful, I could miss important emails. I have no rules set up message to tell Outlook Express to do that, with those who are clean, emails that are not in the list of 'blocked sender. Any ideas would be welcome.

  Thank you very much

  Graham.

  These messages would end at amazon.com and ebay.com, correct? See if you can find them in senders blocked in this way.
   
   
  OE | Tools | Message rules | List of blocked senders. Highlight the first address on the list. Click: Edit | Type in the address you want to remove. (Amazon.com) invites: "this address already exists, are you sure you want to replace it? Click Yes. The address will now be at the top of the list. Remove it.
   
   
  In the message rules, if you have a delete it or move generally deleted items, check them carefully. If you have a rule for example that removes zon.com or thebay.com, they will also remove the messages from Amazon and eBay.
   
   

• 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 download old emails read like new unread emails whenever it is open

  I turned on my PC and re-opened Outlook express after a 2 week break. Under send/receive I get ALL my emails stored as new unread emails as well as new unread then emails that I was absent. It is about 3000 emails everytime I open Outlook express. How can I limit the send/receive to receive only the emails sent to me from OE last opened?

  What Steve said, but I'll elaborate on that a bit.

  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server. Then, remove the Pop3uidl.dbx file. You will get the messages once more, but it should be.

  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 Pop3uidl.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

• Outlook express missing current emails after the compression

  After checking my emails this morning, Outlook express asked me to compress the files. I did it and now I can't see all my Inbox emails that have come since March 23 to today (May 26).  all my messages are there, and all my emails before March 23 are there... but nothing of all the most recent. How can I restore these?

  Just to add to the comments of Bruce.  The first thing to do is to check the Recycle Bin for the bak files are backups of dbx files you want to restore, as appropriate.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 don't restore the file with the same name, but give it a different name, so it does not replace what is already existing.

  If there is no file bak or bak files do not contain messages, so your only chance of recovery is my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).  While it will pull messages from dbx files, its likely that your Inbox contains more messages which have been lost (the space they were in fills with zeros very often), so you should probably run the extraction of the disk set.  This will bypass the file system and to analyze all the clusters on the drive, and if the messages still exist on the disk, it will recover them.  Its the only program which has this ability and at this stage, its likely, the only thing that will retrieve messages.

  In the future, make sure that you back up your messages frequently, as happens all the time.

• 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? :

  Why mail disappears:

  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 cannot receive emails because "your spam or junk file box is too full.

  Original title: where & how do I find the 'spam' or 'junk' mail folder for outlook express?
  I'm having a problem with Outlook Express I can send emails but cannot receive emails.  He said it might be because "your spam or junk file box is too full" but there is no 'spam' visible or "junk mail" box in Outlook express.  Where and how can I find?

  According to Bruce, OE has no spam or junk folder, so this file is likely on the server.  Sign in to your e-mail via webmail account and then look for a folder spam or junk e-mail on the server and you can delete the Junk there.

• Outlook Express - cannot send emails, can still receive emails. Send and receive worked very well until 13/04/11 - on all our computers

  Use Outlook Express 6.00 to manage e-mail.  Worked fine until this last week when it is able to receive emails, but sending is less error - unknown error - Protocol: SMTP Server Response: 550 your hose. 66.117242.170 is in our database of RBL. Port: 25. Secure (SSL): No, Server error. 550 0x800CCC69 error number.

  We have this problem on all our computers - no changes by us during this time.  Not sure if a Microsoft issue or our Internet & E-mail provider.  They tried to say the problem on our end, not with their system, but did not have this problem about a week ago.

  Any ideas on this problem?
