Outlook Express problem: receiving e-mail on two different computers

Similar Questions

• Outlook express cannot receive e-mail

  An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'singnet email', server: 'pop.singnet.com.sg', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133

  Slightly update of what Gerry posted.

  Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.

  Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.

  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 | View.

  With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

  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.

  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.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

• Can I run outlook and outlook Express on the same computer with two different e-mail addresses?

  My e-mail with outlook express and my wife with outlook email address.

  Yes. You can run them with the same email address as well.

• Outlook Express to receive e-mail large file for 3 days of work

  Someone sent me an email with a very large file (about 20 MB) and OE tried to receive this message for 3 days with no progress.  I can't send or receive any other emails until it has been received, or better still, deleted.  Help!

  Just to add to the good advice of Brian, there is another thing you can do.

  Create a Message rule:

  Where the message size is size
  Delete server
  Click on size and place it for about 10 MB, and then click: Apply Now.

  Return to the Inbox, and then click send/receive. This should get rid of the message.

  Don't forget to go back to the rules of Message and either delete the rule, or uncheck it if you use it in the future.

• Problem importing files Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail in Windows 7__

  My new computer has Windows 7 and, of course, Windows Live Mail.  My old computer has Windows XP and Outlook Express.  I copied my file OE that contains all my USB key *.dbx files.  On the file menu of WLM, I then selected "Import Messages" and then indicated the location of my OE files on the USB key.  When I clicked to import the files, a small window with a green status bar that showed all the imported files.  I then clicked on "Finish."  My problem is even if the import seems to be successful I don't think the imported files or folders in Live Mail.  I tried twice with the same results.  Did I miss a step?  My just OE files seem to have not gotten in my Windows Live Mail program.

  Look in the imported folders under storage folders. If you do not see the storage files, in the Menu bar: view | Page layout | The folders pane. Check: View the storage folders.

  Missing Menu bar? Click the menu button to the left of the help button and activate the menu bar.

  If still no joy, copy the database messages OE of the USB on the desktop and try to import from there.

• Problem importing email files from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail. Not all the imported outlook express folders are visible

  I followed your instructions and now have "storage folders" visible. However that a single user account recorded message records showing if you keep double clicking and scrolling down.

• How can I configure Outlook Express to receive messages to different mailboxes (via POP3) but to send messages and responses using a single SMTP account?

  How can I configure Outlook Express to receive messages to different mailboxes (via POP3) but to send messages and responses using only a single SMTP account?

  In other words, I need to download via POP3 messages sent to the * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy * but I want to send messages using Mar SMTP service associated to * address email is removed from the privacy *

  If I get a message like * address email is removed from the privacy * I want to answer as * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Is this possible?

  How can I configure Outlook Express?

  You can do this if the Server SMTP allows you to send from a location that you are not connected via their internet service.  So if you have this permission, go to tools | Accounts | Add mail.  Then under the account of property | You want to set the server for incoming mail to the POP3 account, and then the SMTP protocol for the other account that you use to send servers.  And then indicate whether or not the server requires authentication, and if yes, then you will need to put in the user name and password for the SMTP server it.  Under properties. Advanced to define appropriate ports that may be different from the default value according to e-mail accounts.  You can also check the "leave a copy of messages on the server" for accounts POP3, if you access messages from multiple computers.

  Once you have an account set up, then you can set others upward in the same way, but change the POP3 properties for each while leaving the SMTP ones the same.

  Once you have all that in place, you might want to backup things in case something goes wrong: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

• Sending via Outlook Express or Windows Live mail

  The SMTP host is not found.  Please check that you have entered the server name correctly.  Account 'POP3', Server SMTP, Port 25, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 1101

  The above is happening via Internet Explore.  When I send emails via my home page of Yahoo and a Yahoo email account, I did not have this problem. Y at - it a setting I need to change?  If yes where?

  Those who are not the correct settings for Yahoo in OE.

  If it's a US or CA, Yahoo account, and that you are not subscribed to Yahoo Mail Plus, then you cannot access the account in Outlook Express.

• migration of Outlook Express email in windows mail (windows 7)

  Recently bought a new laptop with windows 7, now facing a big problem.

  I works on Outlook Express in Windows XP in my computer earlier and have loads of data in her e-mail. After buying the new notebook with windows 7 without knowing the fact that Windows 7 does not support Outlook Express, I'm now completely stuck, helpless and I have no way instead of continuing my use of my old notebook with Windows XP to access my emails in Outlook Express as I take references for old mails unlike the response.

  I have done the back up of my Outlook Express and copied in Windows mail in Windows 7 laptop, but it didn't work...

  Kindly help me in migrating Outlook Express emails to Windows 7 with the steps that is the big question of mine.

• Import e-mail messages from Outlook Express in Windows Live Mail?

  I have recently moved to a new PC with Win7 and have been using Live Mail - more often with success, I thought with the exception of one or two faults, but I'll probably post a question on those.
  On the audit of my old PC today, when I open Oulook Express have been downloaded more than 100 emails that have not appeared in Live Mail - dating back to the time I went.
  I tried to export these messages of OE, put it on a USB key and then import in LM LM do not seem to recognize them - these are the dbx files. Suggestions anyone please?
  Thank you in advance.
  Jeff.

  If both computers use the same e-mail address, you must do this to get the messages on both.
   
  On both machines: tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
   
  On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.

• If I want Outlook Express for my e-mail how do downloaded?

  On my other computer that I want to get Outlook Express for my e-mail, how it downloaded?

  OE is a part of XP, and you already have it.
   
  Go to control panel | Add/Remove programs. Add/Remove Windows components. Make sure Outlook Express is checked.
   
  Still nothing on the desktop? Copy this:
   
  c:\Program files\outlook express\msimn.exe
   
  Start | Run and paste it in. Ok.
   
  Now go to control panel | Set access to programs and settings by default and OE set as default and then you should have the shortcut.
