• For Outlook Express - Mail out is being hung in the Outbox and nothing appears in sent items

  Outgoing mail is hung in the Outbox

  Your sent items folder is probably corrupted.  Move all messages in the folder to another folder.  Then close OE and delete the file sent items.dbx and OE will create a new one that is not corrupted when you open it.  You may also delete the outbox.dbx file.  Dbx files are hidden.

• Where can I find the Outlook Express Mail Server name Info

  original title; Outlook Express Mail Server name Info

  How to check or enter the name of the server for Outlook Express? I get an error message indicating that I entered the server name correctly but I don't know how to correct it. My mail will never be out fo. I have photos I am trying to send to Snapfish and they will not download.

  I've never used Snapfish, but I don't see where this has nothing to do with Outlook Express, an e-mail client. While glancing at their website, it seems that you download photos from your computer as you would to Photobucket or SkyDrive, you do not send by e-mail their. You should not need to use any e-mail program to achieve this.

  After setting the network card to make IE work, then check OE.  If the OE still has problems, check under Tools | Options | Connections and tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Connection to be sure, the settings are correct.  You may also need to remove your e-mail account, close OE and then add it back again.

• Computer died. Past from Windows XP to Vista. Lost Outlook Express mail folders. Not in Windows Mail. (Got 3 months of e-mail entering the transfer.) I can't the old Outlook Express files?

  This is my first posting. Don't know how much has appeared in the "title". Computer died. Past from Windows XP to Vista. Lost Outlook Express mail folders. Not in Windows Mail. (Got 3 months of e-mail entering the transfer.) I can't the old Outlook Express files?

  Have I lost the files of Outlook Express completely or is there a way that I can import them in the same way that e-mail came? My old computer died (power source grilled or something like that). I still have it, but no way to turn it on.

  If you can access the old hard drive PC you can get the data of Outlook Express store.  See this: http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx or this: http://www.insideoe.com/backup/ Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

• Need to know in detail how to get my Pop3 outlook express mail on windows 7

  Just graduated from XP to the new windows 7 and I need to know how to get my Outlook Express mail.  Need to know how to set up Pop 3.   Reading a few forums, I think the knuckleheads who put this windows 7 as a whole did not anyway to do unless you're a computer expert.   I would have been much better served if they would have put the old XP back on this new computer.   I'm an old PET of 69 year who knows nothing about setting up these things, and unless someone can come in here and talk to me with every little detail step by step what to click on it and where to find it in detail.  It will never happen.  If you would be grateful someone with this kind of knowledge back to me.  Thank you

• When I send an e-mail to MS Outlook Express sends it leaves the Outbox and guard return the same email over and over again (unless I'm deleting it).

  In other words, the e-mail message remains in the Outbox and is NOT in the SENT ITEMS folder.

  You have apparent dbx file corruption.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved 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 DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  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.

  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.

• When sending emails with Outlook Express, they sit in the Outbox and don't move to sent items.

• Re: Outlook Express, I've lost the Outbox, sent and Delete

  first of all, I am very poor with computers, and I use Outlook Express for my e-mail.  I lost the sent, Outbox and delete.  I need people, and although I know not easy to put back them, how can I do?  I don't know even how I made them disappear!     I went in the view and even aid tools and leader, but still I can't find out what it takes to put those back on top of my outlook express.  These elements fit under tools in the upper part.  All this makes sense?  I don't even know the right terminology so I hope someone can understand me.  Thank you.

• My Outlook Express Mail 'Delete' does not work. I have 1600 emails in my Outlook Express and I can't delete them!

  For the last week, I was not able to use my function 'Delete' on my Outlook Express.  I have 1600 mails in my 'box' and I need to remove them, but can't.  I don't know how to solve this problem.  Hope someone can help me.

  Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.

  With OE closed, find the DBX file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

• Can I import files of Outlook Express mail from a broken PC disk?

  The XP System I used for e-mail for years died. The hard drive is OK. My mail is on it. I was wondering if I could import the e-mail folders in Thunderbird on my new PC for Windows 8.1 install the hard drive from the old PC and pointing Thunderbird for mail Outlook Express store on the old drive. Clear Outlook Express isn't alive on the new PC, so the usual instructions "import" seem not to apply. However, what I want to do looks like it should be possible.

  You need convert DBX files by using third-party programs. I have a blog post here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/outlook-express.html with links to undbx. It's free, but a command line tool. If you want a GUI, it is one of the best offer in my experience. http://www.maildev.com/buy/ , but it will cost you.
