• How to view mailbox from my other accounts of e-mail in Outlook Express

  How can I display the Inbox of my yahoo email a/c and a/c of Hotmail e-mail in Outlook Express? I don't know the names of the incoming/outgoing servers of both suppliers. In Outlook Express, I can view a mail even when I'm offline.

  You would need to have POP3 (or IMAP) accounts with each, and you can check with their Web sites for the appropriate e-mail client settings and server names and ports.  It may be according to the type of e-mail account you have.  In OE, then you can go to tools | Accounts | Add | Mail and fill in the information, but that will depend on the account.

• I can't receive email in Outlook Express or view the Inbox; can access the address book & all the other options.

  I can't view the Inbox or receive emails with Outlook Express; address book, sent & project options are ok.

  I ignored the request of compact messages.

  Your Inbox may be altered.  Go to file | Identities and set up a new identity and add your email account and see if it works.  If Yes, then you can try to import older identity, but you may need a program to extract messages otherwise (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).  You should not ignore the request to compact the database messages, like at the time, the Inbox and other folders get corrupted and you lose messages - see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 .

• PowerPoint Viewer does not work in Outlook Express 6

  XP SP 3 on a Dell laptop, I have a friend who cannot open PowerPoint slide show room detached from his Outlook express 6 E-mail.  If it saves the file, it locates and double click top, he opens the 2010 pp Viewer and watch the slide show.  Although this means for me the file associated with PPS is ok, I checked it in folder options, and yes it seems ok.

• Outlook express Compact view

  I have a lot of emails in Windows XP Outlook Express I want to keep it there.  How to stop this message about compacting my files?  I do not wish to do so and to stop the message.

  If you are talking about a message that says:

  To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

  If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

  Compact Check Count

  It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

  \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

  Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment.  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

  There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

  Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

  If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it turns that is usually at each reboot.  If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

  Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which will further increase the count, so when the counter gets to 100, Windows Desktop Search will prompt you to compress messages during the next reboot.  This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using Outlook Express or not.

  No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

  You can compress data when prompted (which resets the counter to 0).

  You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

  If you do not use Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

  Following the best practices for using Outlook Express will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

  Using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search at the same time most people are satisfied to just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

  To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

  Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• Run-time error Outlook express

  In my outlook express, I get a message on a runtime error. How can I solve this problem. It won't even open to read my mail.

  1. Enroll in two important Outlook files. Go to start > run and type regsvr32 OLE32. DLL
     In addition, type regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
     
     Then try opening OE.
     
     2. check if the folders.dbx file is corrupted.  With OE closed, find folders.dbx and rename it to folders.old.
     
     The file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data\Identities\\Microsoft\Outlook Express folder. This is a hidden folder, so you must display hidden folders and files to see. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folder Options > view. Check 'show files and folders '. Click OK.
     
     3. check if the DBX file is corrupted. Perform a repair with
     OE-Mail repair at http://www.oemailrecovery.com/inbox-repair.html
  2. Create a new Outlook Express identity.

• Emails on Outlook Express are empty

  Original title: Outlook Express

  I use Outlook Express for my e-mail, but since the evening of February 5, 2013, we can't consider the contents of all emails (including the old and new emails).  I still get e-mails, but I do not see who it is from, date sent and time and the subject line.  Please tell us how can I view the contents of these emails.

  Your Inbox has been corrupted and the messages may have been erased it.  Close OE and go to the message store and move the inbox.dbx file to another location.  OE will create a new.  To get the older Inbox messages, you can try to extract (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) or you can look in the trash or message store to get an inbox.bak file and if it is present, you can import it back into OE using the method described here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1 (see also page for more information about the location of message storage and see also www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2).

  This happens a bit OE users because they let their files get above a few hundred megabytes and once this happens they get very sensitive to the type of corruption that you encounter.  In the future, it is recommended that you back up your important messages, as this is likely to happen again, or your hard drive may fail.

• Outlook express

  All my messages in Inbox outlook express disappeared, they have not been removed

  Hello

• Outlook Express wants to compact files several times per day

  I deleted most of my Deleted messages and sent folders and I greeted the OE to go through the process of compaction, but happens several times a day and it's driving me crazy!   I went into the Maintenance tab under Tools, but it doesn't seem to be a solution.  I have to save at least 3 months of messages in these files for commercial purposes.  What can I do to prevent it from appearing?

  Compacting does not delete messages, only the space wasted. If you don't lose messages, it's either because of damaged files or disrupt the process of compaction.

  If you compacted it completed successfully, and you see the prompt earlier that 100 closures of OE, then see if you have Windows search installed. If you do, you need to tell Windows Search to stop indexing OE.

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

  If you have lost messages during compaction, see this.

  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.

  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

  Recovery methods:

  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:

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

  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:

• I lost 16 months of emails when I click "Compact Messages" in Outlook Express - Help!

  I searched on the internet and made the following to address my problem-

  . Working offline with Outlook Express

  . Open Recycle Bin on the Windows desktop

  . The '.bak' file located I wanted back

  . Clicked on the file '.bak' with the right button of the mouse

  . Restore selected in the menu

  BUT now, I can't locate the file in Windows Explorer and open the folder that's in.  How can I find the file - I did a search for all files and folders, and anything else that is listed, but it comes up with zero results.  HELP PLEASE

  In addition to Bruce's response, go to tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Storage folder and that will show you the location of the message store.  Copy to this location.

  Then go to control panel | Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and check the option to show hidden files and folders (the message store and its files are hidden).

  Then, open Windows Explorer and paste it into the location you copied into the address bar and then you should find the dbx and bak files.

  Then see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1 to re-import the bak file in OE.  If it doesn't matter, then you may need my DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) program to retrieve messages.

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.
