Outlook Express sent Box problem.

• 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!

  You leave records their capacity cantilever.

  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.

  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.

  I have a lot of emails and Outlook express will not let me delete one of them. A box appears and tells the message cannot be deleted?

  Recovery tools:

  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:

  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.

• Compact message in Outlook Express dialog box appears several times

  A few days ago my av (AVG) program found 2 Trojan programs and deleted. Since then, 'to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages' dialogue box pop randomly, about every 20 to 30 seconds, OE is open or not, and that IE is open or not. No matter if I cancel or agreed process.

  I tried the steps in the online self-help manual, but when I tried to reload the .dll files (pressing on > run), two files giving me error messages.

  regsvr32msjava.dll says "specified module is not found.

  regsvr32mshtml.dll says the file 'was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.

  Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

  This is a very good article, but it does not address your problem. It is usually Windows Search, but it could be something else.

  The problem is with the registry counter which gives you the prompt after 100 closures of OE. It is increased faster than it should be after you install SP3, even if you use not OE. Here are some of the possible causes.

  Keyboard IBM rapid access (pilot) RAKDLL. DLL
  Search Windows {office}
  MailWasher
  Nero-plug-in (s)

  Opening of EML files while OE is closed will also help the County to register.

  Different antivirus, antispyware, and third-party firewall, especially if they were running when you installed SP3.

  Archived discussion discuss this issue in June 2008:
  http://groups.Google.com/group/Microsoft.public.outlookexpress.General/browse_frm/thread/fcd35fbfa457fd6f

  In the case of Windows Search, (the offender #1), you must be told to stop indexing OE.

  Windows Search. Set Desktop Search Options:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Australia/windows/desktopsearch/search/options.mspx

  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.

  In the case of Nero Scout, see point 2.3 page 8 here.

  In the option to exclude indexing of selected file types, remember to add these file types:

• My older version of outlook express has several problems, will be these imported into a new account in thunderbird

  My older version of Outlook Express has acquired several problems. It is time for a change, these errors will be imported into a new account in Thunderbird. I hope that everything is based on the conviction that the two programs are completely different.

  You don't say what problems you have with OE, then how everyone has to guess?

  There is no such thing as a "Thunderbird account. You do not have an account with your email provider. To access this account, you can use OE, or Thunderbird.
  But Thunderbird isn't your e-mail provider.

  I use Outlook Express for years to receive my emails.  My ISP is BT I have multiple email accounts coming via Outlook Express and the problem does not occur with any identifiable pattern.  10 emails from ebay arrived at the same time - the first 2 were fine the next two had no sender, no topic and perhaps HTML code looks like in content, 2 were very well the next information was missing and then another was fine, etc.

  I downloaded and installed all the updates from Microsoft, but that does not change.

  An e-mail this morning that came to two of my email addresses was good one and the information on the other missing.

  When I checked my e-mail via webmail on Yahoo, all emails had senders, subjects and relevant content.

  I use Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8, and Outlook Express 6.

  I would be grateful for any help.

  Thank you

  Outlook Express has nothing to do with Microsoft Office. That's why they sent you here. This is the right forum for OE.

  You have all these accounts set up in the very identity of OE? Your problem may be due to a variety of reasons, your security for one program.

  What program do you use for security? Make sure that's not incoming or outgoing e-mail scanning.

  If that's not the answer, set up a new identity. File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

  Also, observe the following 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.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

  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.
