• My outlook express won't let emails through. I am getting an authorization and then an error will appear.

  Outlook express won't come through

  My outlook express won't let emails through. I am getting an authorization and then an error will appear. Sometimes it will say: reception of messages, but none will come by.  A box appears and says that he put an end to the connection, maybe because of the connection to the server, the long period of inactivity or network connection. Also, I get a message on and which was completely removed several times on the file inbox and delete. I have no idea how to solve this problem or what I did to make it. I've never experienced this before.

  You probably have the widespread corruption of dbx files. Try in 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.

  Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

  In addition, follow these guidelines to help avoid this in the future.

  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:

• Why have I not Outlook Express wanting to compress files?

  I can't find Outlook Express in my Add / Remove programs as I believe that I deleted it from my computer because of conflicts with Outlook 2003. Lately, I have a pop up message saying that Outlook Express can compress the files.  How to remove or delete it from my computer because I don't have Outlook Express on my count.  It's a Sony XP with all the latest updates etc.

  Outlook Express would never vanish "because of conflicts with Outlook." These two programs have nothing in common, and we don't even know the other exists. Your question should be posted on a forum for Outlook Express: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/networking-windows_xp?page=1

• I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message 'too big for the server.

  I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message "too big for the server" responses I've seen so far tell me absolutely nothing

  Well, the error message says it all.  "" too big for server".

  There is a limit imposed by your ISP/mail server, which you don't mention.

  Not only the servers have limits on the size, this is not necessarily the same for incoming and outgoing messages.

  If you say you use the e-mail program and the name of your e-mail server, maybe we can shed light on the more specific issue, but the problem is definitely with them and not Outlook Express.

  P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by 'signature'

• All of a sudden Outlook Express cannot find the files created by the method of attachment.

  Outlook Express cannot find the newly created files to attach. The files are there in My Documents and Outlook Express can still see all the old files, but each new file for the last month is not seen and cannot be attached. I even typed in the name of the file and it says can not find the file of the same name. I send you the files now through 'Send it' a service online, but complicated to use another program. I checked the 'views' and they seem ok. Help, please!

  It is a long shot, but try it in a new identity.

  File | Identity | 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 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? :
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
   
  Why mail disappears:
  http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone

  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 can't delete a message from my Outbox and Outlook Express won't send it. What should I do?

  I tried to send a large amount of photos using Outlook Express. The message is stuck in the outlet box. It will not send it, I can't move or delete it. Any ideas?

  Check: File | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. Can delete you it now?

  Otherwise:

  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, 2K & 2K 3, files from user OE (DBX and WAB) 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.

  With OE closed, find the DBX the Outbox.dbx file and delete it. A new vacuum will be created automatically when you open OE.

• Outlook Express error (corrupt Inbox file) 0x800c0133

  I use Outlook Express. I can send, but not receive. I have deleted many emails that were never deleted, but still cannot receive. I was told that I have a damaged the Inbox file. Something about the Inbox.dbx box, but I don't know or how to fix this error.

  Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.
   
  
  Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.
   
  
  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.

  With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

• Outlook express won't erase

  I use Windows XP, old system, but I'm used to so I stay with her.

  Just encountered a problem as my 'delete' does not work on the junk emails.
  I cleaned everything, put on extra storage space (? thinking that was the problem).
  clean all my storage will delete again.
  I only have a knowledge of basic computer and it led me to madness.
  Any thoughts?

  Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.

  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 file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

  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.

• my outlook Express freezes on opening because the albums email won't let me delete it

  How do I get in outlook express if the email at the top of the page hangs and will not respond?

  In fact, I have one than another thought. You never answered whether or not it was always the same message.
   
   
  If you go to the OE message store and delete the file Inbox.dbx with OE closed, when you open OE you will have a new but empty Inbox. No message, no corruption.
   
  Of course, which will delete all of your messages. You couls rename the Inbox.dbx to Inboxold.dbx and then try in retrieving your messages with this tool, but it is not free.
   
  
  DBXpress
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
   
  You may need to run in the extract from disk Mode if its normal recovery mode fails to find lost messages.
   
  Also, check the Windows Recycle Bin and the OE message store and see if you have an Inbox.bak file. If you do, note the date of creation. There is a way to restore your messages until the free creation date.
   
  And another thing. Let me know the Inbox.dbx file size as it is right now.
