Problem with deleting emails

My mailbox is getting overloaded with email and I'm unable to remove number of emails...

Appears when I try to delete some of my old emails, the system does not respond and deos not delete files.  I tried everything to remove some of these emails without success... I also tried to delete the mu, but it does not work...

Any suggestions?

Assuming you are using Outlook Express...

Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox, if you can and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

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, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (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 Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

Compact all folders as described below.

To 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:

  • Problems with deleted emails do not delete

    I have an iPhone 6, when I delete the mails from gmail and/or icloud times, the emails appear back in my Inbox. I sometimes have to remove emails for 2-3 times to finally remove. This started happening after the download of the update IOS 9... I had and iPhone 6 more and it would go with the upgrade of the thought. Then I thought it might be something with my carrier, Verizon, but a co-worker has ATT and is seen the same problem. I took it to the apple store with no solutions... Please see this on the next update...

    Try resetting your e-mail account. First close your Mail application completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and drag the email preview pane up until it disappears from the display. Then go to settings > Mail, Contacts, calendar > find your e-mail provider and click on the account. On the next page, delete the account. Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears. Then go to settings > mail... and to add the account.

  • I am having major problems with my emails. I can send emails OK but I can't receive them. I use Outlook Express.

    I am having major problems with my emails.  I can send emails OK but I can't receive them.  I use Outlook Express.  When I first turn on outlook express, emails start coming, but then outlook express crashes.  I disable outlook express and start again. My emails are stuck in the Orange webmail box until the last email is downloaded.  This means that I sometimes get the same time to send four or five. I called technical support Orange several times, but they say it's a problem of microsoft. I use Windows XP.

    original title: I can't receive emails from outlook express.

    Hi Mike,.

    Make sure that you have not activated your antivirus software analysis of electronic mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 which is often a problem with receiving and sending a message.

    Then, try to go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give you a new message store and a new registry hive (where all the settings and account info is).  Add your email account and see if it works very well.  If it sticks sometimes, make sure that you are not setting to check messages too often (like every 3 minutes or somesuch).  You can also try to increase the timeout for the server where this is a problem (Tools |) Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced).  See if who deals with issues "" OE gel.  If Yes, then you can use the file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

    I do not know that moving to Outlook might solve the problem, because they both use the same mechanism to retrieve messages.  If you still have problems, come on and generate a log file and when OE freezes, which could give some indication of what is the underlying problem.  Make sure that you disable the log file later, because this file grows enormously and can cause problems if it becomes too large.

  • Problem with deletion of snapshots

    Hello

    I have a problem with deletion of snapshots for virtual machine running on ESXi 3.5. I had a problem with the lack of free space on the drive where VM is hosted. I managed to free up space and wanted to commit snapshots (delete) to free additional space. Unfortunately, at the time of the withdrawal of clichés that I ran out of space again on this store now I'm stuck with clichés present in the store but not visible in the Snapshot Manager.

    Any suggestions on how I can get rid of these pictures now? All I can think is move VM converter of this virtual machine to a new one.

    Thanks, Marcin

    The reason that you ran out of space is the way a "Delete All" is handled.

    I guess in your case a 'Delete All' may temporarily need up to approximately 115 GB of additional disk space. Troubleshooting VM snapshot problems perfectly describes the process. Take a look at the animation in the "process behind 'Remove all' snapshots '.

    So what you can do is:

    -Free up enough space, create another cliché, and then do a "Delete All".

    -Cold clone or V2V the VM in another data store

    -Recreate the vmsd file based on the instantaneous channel from the header vmdk files and delete the snapshots one by one starting with the first (oldest) snapshot. If you want to try this make sure you fully understand other snapshots that it will end in the corruption of data!

    Due to the size and the possible impacts on the storage I recommend doing this during peak hours and with the virtual machine shut down.

    If you have a different available datastore (~ 300GB), I would recommend cloning. This does not affect the original files in case something goes wrong. If the clone works, you can safely remove the "old" VM and files and migrates the virtual computer is back to datastore original.

  • Problem with Delete Subproperty

    I wanted to delete a global container of Station with stored results init.

    The expression I used is

    StationGlobals.StoredResults.DeleteSubProperty (Parameters.Step.Name, 0x400000)

    Parameter.Step.Name is my search string. and in the Option property tried to use 0 x 400000 substitute variable Notdeletable.

    Problem here is that it works for the execution of a few as there is no problem in removing the Subproperty for 4 or 5 times. After that it only removes subproperty.

    And the same problem, I did not see in OperatorMode. This problem only occurs in the sequence editor. I use TestStand Ver4.2.1.

    Is there no work around for this or any other option to forcefully remove the subproperty.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Share_Good,

    He had some problems with the file you attached. I made a few changes that seems to make it work the way you want and simplify things. I added comments to help explain changes in the file. Please let me know if you have any questions about the changes. I was unable to reproduce the error you posted, but I think that these changes could solve the problem, because one of the issues that I fixed in question is not cloning the property you obtained using GetPropertyObject before setting another property that has as it's the suproperty (property can have one of their parents If you need to make a copy and store the copy not the original). Also, make sure your Locals.StepResult is a variable of object reference as I have in the file attached sequence rather than a container.

    I also created a version of the file, SequenceFilePostResultListEntry2.seq, that uses an array of containers to store the results instead of the subproperties, allowing the stage names to be anything, including having spaces and '.' characters.

    Hope this helps,

    -Doug

    1. click on start and then click Run.

    2. type msconfig and click OK.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

    You should probably get a different email.

    I know this isn't much of an answer or even very applicable but everyone I know eventually loses their emails from mobile provider or cable operator sends cause unless you stick with them forever, your account is deleted after you leave them.

    Gmail, yahoo, rocket mail, and even AOL don't do that.
