  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.

  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.

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:

  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:

• Sent files - items have disappeared from the folder "sent" in Outlook Express after I transferred files from the "sent" folder to a new folder

  I have windows XP and today under the sent items, I created another folder called sent items 2011. I transferred some of the files of items to be sent envoys 2011 article folder. The other files in the sent items folder disappeared. Please help me to restroe the former sent files.

  Check the messages to the new folder and deleted items. Have a a + in front of them?
   
  If not, I don't know what went wrong in order to check the Recycle Bin of Windows and the BAK files OE message store. If you find any, post back before doing anything.
   
  You drag messages to the new folder?
   
  Hint 1: always right click | Copy here and if he succeeds, go back and remove the original messages.
   
  Tip 2: Save your messages. This freeware tool backs up everything on OE in seconds. Ignore what is written in red. Which refers to another program.

• Desktop items have disappeared, including sound; How to make a comeback?

  Desktop items have disappeared, including sound; How to make a comeback?

  Hi Adrianne,

  I need more information, are all the missing desktop icons? The sound disappeared, you have a speaker with a red circle and slash inside icon down by the clock?

  I recommend you to run a virus scan with the Microsoft Malware removal scan. If that does not help, then download and install Malware bytes.

  Let me know if that does or does not work.

• "Sent items" icon disappears

  I am posting this for my sister who is not gifted in computer science.  She uses Outlook Express, but is unable to tell me the version of Windows and Outllok Express, she uses.  My guess is she's using Win XP.

  His '' elements of Snet '' disappeared from his Exporess Outllok.  I suspect that the entire toolbar may have disappeared as well.

  Can anyone here please help this cela?  Thank you.

  A little difficult with limited information.

  Sent Items is not on the toolbar of the OE. View | Page layout | Folder bar under the toolbar that the folder is open.

  View | Page layout | Folder list displays all folders in a "folder tree" left. No matter which option you use, it will not discriminatory and not only display the sent items. It's all the folders, or none.

  Another possibility is that she lost all her messages in sent items. If this is the case, there are bigger problems. Following must be observed when using OE, but not do it all at the moment if it is indeed the messages that have been lost. This will hamper the ability to retrieve messages, if they are needed.

  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.

  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.

• 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.

• Outlook express 6 flashes and disappears

  I have a Dell desktop computer that is running Windows XP SP3.  I have always used Outlook Express 6 for my mail.  I have 2 identities.  This morning, I checked the mail on an identity.  Then I clicked on "pass the identity."  OE6 flashed and disappeared from the screen.  I tried several times, restarted the computer, tried again.  Same thing.

  I ran Spybot, antivirus, Registry Mechanic and CCleaner.  Still having the problem.  I guess something is damaged somewhere.  I went to my husband open OE and username and have remained open.

  How can I fix it?  I'm not high-tech.  Should I reinstall OE?  I use Firefox, but have Internet Explorer and which works very well.

  Thanks for any help.

  Thanks for your reply.  I had found this possibility when I did a search, but the OE button wasn't in the taskbar.

  He now works very well.  I don't know what happened or how it happened, but now it's fine.

  Thanks again.

• Outlook Express sent Box problem.

  Outlook Express 6 stopped saving messages in my Outbox.  I cleaned the Outbox and it started to work, but is now show the date as April 17.  How can I fix it?  OE6 can be updated?

  Compaction removes only the space wasted in a file (at least that's what his supposed only to do, but he often corrupts - www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2, so backup frequently), so you should not lose anything by regular maintenance.  However, if the file becomes more than a few hundred megabytes, performance suffers and the file is much more sensitive to corruption.  So if you approach this stage, you can create a subfolder of sent items (for example sent_04262011) and move all items in this folder and then compact both.  This will give you an own sent items folder and sent items distinct that you can list the messages in.  You can also implement an identity where we keep older E-mail, but then it's time for that identity to access.

• Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express email. I hate Windows live mail and want to come back to Outlook Express. I have Windows 7.

  Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express e-mail account.  I downloaded Windows Live Mail and don't like it at all.  I can't understand how to add a new contact.

  You post in a forum of Vista and Outlook Express last used in XP. If you mean Vista Windows Mail, unless you have removed the account, just open the program and use it. You can remove WLMail whenever you want. It is a part of the programs in the window Live Essentials Control Panel uninstall section.

• During a blackout of PC, I lost the English version of spell checking in outlook express, all I have now is French

  I had to get a new motherboard when I got my PC in the shop every great thing worked great except that French was the only language that I had in my outllok, so everything what I wright is spelled wrong LOL. How to bring back my English version?

  See: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dgoldman/archive/2007/01/03/how-to-fix-the-outlook-express-spelling-checker-when-the-french-dictionary-is-the-only-dictionary.aspx

  There is a spell checker that you can install for Outlook Express which will reinstall the default English Dictionary. Download the spell checker for OE.

• Where all my email address stored gone when Windows 7 has fallen by Outlook Express. I have now no e-mail address stored.

  Where all my Outlook Express e-mail and the e-mail address is passed when I converted to Windows 7?  They are all gone!

  I couldn't find a reference to Microsoft on their site, but...

  I always recommend staying away from large stores like this and Best Buy, etc. (for repairs, that is). I prefer the store of the local small computer where you know to whom you speak and you'll see the same person when you return.

• Library items have disappeared

  Hi there, I have problems with my Adobe Stock libraries. I can't connect to my libraries while I'm on photoshop.

  Also, when I opened my libraries online, nothing is there. All my seams elements disappeared which is very strange, see image:

  
  

  
  

  Someone knows how to fix this? Is there a possibility to go back in the history of adobe stock libraries?

  
  

  Thank you very much!

  Emma
  

  Thank you very much. Make me realize the probem was actually creative cloud and not Adobe stock. So found the answer elsewhere (Re: error CC2015 on PC: "something went wrong initialization library of creative cloud" - how to fix?).

  "danny_jack_johnson 28 July." 2015 10:28 (in response to Jeffthoughtlongandhard)

  It worked for me. With Photoshop or Illustrator (if on a mac), go to your activity monitor and search for CCLibrary. Click on the X to stop the service, it automatically restarts, and your gallery. »

  Works fine now

  Thank you Brad!

• Outlook Express does not have any server is located. N ° Socket Error 120007 error #0x800CCCOD

  Anyone has any ideas - thanks

  Make sure that you can connect via webmail, if you have this option with your email provider.

  If webmail works, you can try to remove your e-mail account, close and reopen OE and then add your return email account once again.  Make sure also that you have not put antivirus software to analyze mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
