Outlook Express Mail send problem

When I send or respond to e-mail using Outlook Express (6) I get an error message (does not say what kind of error only a 'mistake' occurred) and the message remains in my Outbox.  However, he was sent and if I remember to go and delete the message it is sent again whenever I press send/receive.  I have also since it's not moving no trace of the message in my sent folder.  This has just begun, I made no changes to my settings and talked to Comcast to ensure that they did not have any changes

Corruption of apparent dbx files.

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.

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.

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.

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:

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

Compact often as specified above.

And backup often.

  • For some reason, I can't get my Outlook Express to send my emails... they do not connect or send failed

    For some reason, I can't get my Outlook Express to send my emails... they do not connect or send failed... what I am doing wrong to cause this... I have used Outlook Express in the past and had no problem with it... Also, how can I know what e-mail programs POP3 or request the program Outlook Express? Could you please clarify this for me, thanks...

    I use Windows Live Mail as my regular e-mail address... but I can use a different e-mail to another e-mail program to configure Outlook Express?

    Visit the website of your email provider and see if they have instructions to set up an account in Outlook Express.  They provide you with the appropriate settings.   Nobody here knows them, because they are specific to the e-mail provider.  So check with your provider of messaging on the correct settings to use for OE.

  • 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.

  • Could not get Outlook Express to send a copy to my server, so I can access it from another computer

    I can not Outlook Express to send a copy of my e-mail messages to my server (Charter.net) so I can access it from another computer.  I tried to check the block that says "Send copy to the server", but that did not work.  Any suggestions?  I'm not a true computer person so that the answers should be very details.  Thank you.

    The messages on your computer now, you would have to back to yourself, and then they would be on the server.  For the future, go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and check the leave a copy of messages on the server.  Do it with another machine in order to get the messages on both machines.  Then also set one of them to delete messages from the server after a few days, so that they accumulate and fill the mailbox you.

    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.

  • 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

    Error 0x800CCC0E = unable to connect to the server
    The Socket 10051 error may be an SMTP port is blocked.

    Some ISPS prevent their users access to conventional servers SMTP 'outside' using e-mail programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape.

    To verify that your ISP is blocking SMTP (port 25) connections, you must Telnet to the SMTP server of the command prompt (DOS prompt):

    1. Start-> Run-> enter 'command'-> click on 'ok '.
    2. type 'telnet mail.yourdomain.com 25' back guest

    In the case you receive the message "Connection refused" or the time-out period, you should contact your provider to demand access to open port 25 in their firewall or proxy. Or ask if they have changed the port number.

    I hope this helps.
