Outlook Express wants to compact my messages whenever it ends. How do I stop this?

• Outlook express is to steal my bigpond email inbox emails, how do I stop this?

  I have an e-mail (Telstra) Bigpond account and somehow outlook Express (OE) has been set up under the default display.

  My emails will appear in Bigpond for a few days and then completely disappear and then appear in OE.

  I don't want to have what is happening, I want to keep my emails in the Bigpond email account and stop using OE or disable so that continues to steal emails. Is there a way to do it, and I can all the old emails back across to the Bigpond account move?

  Outlook Express cannot run all on its own.  YOU must start it.  ERGO, if you do not want to read e-mail with Outlook Express, simply do not run.

  If you can't refrain from starting, remove the mail account of it.  If you do not want to do it again, then change the settings for the account to leave a copy of messages on the server.

• 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.

  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:

  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:

  And backup often.

• Outlook express 6 when sending a message, the message 'hang up' in the Outbox

  Outlook express 6, when sending a message, the message 'hang up' in the Outbox, don't watch not in the box sent but is sent (confirmed) and continues to repeat the send action.

  I use outlook in private mode and a mode of business, private mode gives problems mode business is good
  In private and commercial modes, do you mean different identities? You probably have the corruption of dbx files in the identity of the problem.
   
  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.
   
  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 DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
  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.
   
  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.

  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.

  I would say that a copy would be the first thing I want to stop doing,

  If you want to move a file, then move

  Make a right-click dragging you will offer choices.

  Left-click dragging does not.

  If you right click and select copy, Stop and use to cut,

  Or use Alt + E and move to the folder.

• When I opened iMovie automatically opens to the last played film instead of asking me what I want to do.  .  How can I stop this?

  When I opened iMovie automatically opens to the last played film instead of asking me what I want to do.  I then shut down the film before I was presented with the opportunity to create a new project.  How can I stop this waste of time boring?  I use the old iMovie HD 6.0.4 because I find that it is superior to the new versions.  IMac 27 "2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

  This has always been a 'feature' of iMovie 6!

  The only solution I know is to move the project current iMovie to another folder, which is in documents, for example, where iMovie can't see it.

• Everything in the firefox browser flashes whenever I scroll, or if all goes on the webpage (videos flash for example, .gif). How can I stop this?

  Since I installed Firefox 10.0.2 (which was about 10 minutes ago), a Web page I load starts flashing if no changes to its content.

  Here are some examples: videos, Flash, Connections... same scrolling causes the entire page to Flash.

  Right now, as I type this message, the text box will Flash each characters.

  As you can imagine, it's extremely annoying.
