• Web links in emails (with Outlook Express 6) no longer works since the 13.0.1 update.

  Use Firefox for yonks (with XP-pro-SP3).
  After all at the final hour updated to 13.0.1, when I click on a link in an e-mail (for which I use Outlook Express), nothing happens. (I have already many pages open Firefox, I tend to not to close their.) Can only open the link by copying and then open a new Firefox window from scratch.

  Thanks that fixed. For any reason (or no) FF had ceased to be set as default browser, in fact, somehow it seems there is no default browser!
  Thanks again for your quick and easy solution!

• Windows Update - Outlook Express will not download new email after the last update

  After you have installed the latest update of Windows XP files (KB972270; KB977840; KB955759; KB890830) and my OUtlook Express will not download my new messages. Error message occurs sating that a file is possibly corrupted and use Scandisk to repair. This has happened on my computer and my wife using the same basic configuration. Could not resolve the problem before doing a system restore to a previous Restore Point before the update of Windows. So my Windows Updater is no longer needed.

• Unable to display all unread messages in Outlook Express after running "compating" and also update Symantec AV.

  Original title: how to repair Outlook Express.

  Until recently, when I open Oulook Express, I'd get a screen telling me how many emails that are UNREAD.  I would then click the UNREAD and I'd get a panel showing all the emails in the order in which they came from my ISP.  Now, however, when I open OUTLOOK EXPRESS, I get immediately the last email rec'vd and the only way I can see others, is to remove the one that is open.  I am running XP-Professional and anti-virus from Symantec.  This change seemed to arise as a result of a routine compaction and update my Symantec anti-virus.  I tried to 'uninstall' OUTLOOK EXPRESS by unchecking in 'Add/Remove Windows components' and then 'install' again by checking the box, but he always reacts the same way.  Is it possible that OUTLOOK EXPRESS has somehow been corrupted?  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  OE uncheck in Add/Remove removes only the access and nothing else. Compaction is a necessary process and unless you have actually lost messages, I doubt it was that. It is more likely Symantec which is least friendly OE AV program there. All that said, follow these steps.
   
  1: view | Current view. Make sure Show all Messages is the only option that is checked.
   
  2: Try in a new identity. You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main 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.
   
  Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

• Outlook express problems since updates

  My Outlook Express program stops downloading my emails or sent me a bunch of them.  Roadrunner says this isn't a problem with the server, but with one of the updates of Microsof.  Gave me a number to call Micrsoft.  They are not open until normal working hours Monday.  Anyone having this problem or knows what it is.    On Wednesday, April XLE, I installed 10 of them.

  I doubt that it was an update. OE had no one over the years.

  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - uncheck: leave a copy of messages on the server.

  If you still have problems, remove the POP3uidl.dbx file. I keep track of downloaded messages and may be damaged.

  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server. Then, remove the Pop3uidl.dbx file. You will get the messages once more, but it should be.

  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 files of user OE (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 Pop3uidl.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

  Finish compacting your folders.

   
  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.
   
  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.
   
  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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
   
  And backup often.

• October 11, 2011 updated catchy so long delays for IE8 and Outlook Express

  After you install Microsoft Updates on October 11, 2011, after a system reboot, Internet explore 8 and Outlook Express experience long delays before starting. During this period, the Task Manager is also locked, so I don't see what process is at the origin of the problem.

  I narrowed down it to KB2564958 or KB2592799.

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the KB2564958 and the KB2592799 and the problem disappeared.

• Cannot receive messages in Outlook Express

  Recently (for the first time) I consulted my ISP mail service. Since then, I have been unable to receive messages in Outlook Express, even if I can send them. When I check new messages, I get a connection, but no new messages. Some of my messages are confused on my e.mail of ISPs. I checked all my settings etc for OE account, and they look very good. It was working perfectly before. Any ideas, help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  If all worked correctly before you enter you e-mail service so I guess that it s a virus or a malware application.
  I put t know if you use your Anti virus but you should! It is very important to have this application and also it is very important to update your anti virus everyday software.

  Incorrect settings in Outlook are another possibility.
  Check it!

  Hi desneill,

  I m wondering that someone is still using Outlook Express right now... There are many other good email programs

  In any case, it would be interesting to know which version of Outlook Express you are using and what operating system.
  Try an update to Outlook Express and Internet Explorer as well

  And think about other software like Thunderbird mail ;)

• XP Outlook Express does not

  Help. My system is XP. I've lost the ability to access Outlook Express. It does not. Also my documents are now displaying symbols, for example, paragraph symbol, space/tab word symbols. Obviously, I have access to the Internet. I tried to reset to an earlier date, but it is said that it can not reset to an earlier date. Thank you.

  How your post & problem relate to the features of Windows Update?

  Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3?

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  In the future, to avoid this Corruption:

  N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

  -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

  -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More on http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

  -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

  -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:
