Problem with Outlook Express "Message has not been downloaded."

I'm having a problem with emails and attachments removed once I open and view them.  More specifically, when I opened an e-mail message by using Microsoft Outlook Express 6 with an attachment, I am able to see the file and open the attachment.  However, when I go back to this same email one or two weeks later, I see the following is message "Message has not been downloaded" Outlook Express has not yet downloaded this message. »

Please let me know what is the cause for this.  I have very important emails that have disappeared.

In more of Bruce's response, if you lost messages (and it seems you if messages do not appear) and then check your Inbox for a bak file is a backup of the dbx file that you can restore.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and see point 4 on retrieving the messages.  I suspect the problem is due to having interference from antivirus software because it is probably what causes this loss, then see item 3 on this page also, as noted in Bruce.

  • What is Apple doing to solve the problem of the emails which the bodies are removed and a note informs you that this message has not been downloaded from the server?  It's also appear when a message is placed in the Recycle Bin.

    That made Apple to fix the problem where the body of emails is endangered and there is a note saying the e-mail was not downloaded from the server?  It's also appear on messages that are put in the trash.  I have a pop.earthlink account and understand that it affects the pop accounts.  The problem started after I downloaded IOS 9 and is much worse.  Messages received yesterday are now endangered, however some messages that I received in early November before downloading the new software still exist and are very good.

    Hi Bonnie,.

    It is a user to user forum, anything that apple made to solve a problem so isn't something you find info on here.

    The iOS is not a classic operating system.    I asked that your post moved to the forum of the iPad.

    POP accounts are generally customer (as opposed to the server function) and stored on your device.  If your device on space is insufficient, the settings for the e-mail may restrict downloads on your device, resulting in the message in question.   This is particularly true for all messages that come with attachments or are preformatted html.   Ask your contacts to send messages in plain text.

    Why is deleting emails and why can't see beyond the unopened emails?

    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:

    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:

    In addition to the problem that is described in this article with temporary files, Outlook Express can have an empty message, if Internet Explorer is configured to display, coding for automatic selection. If so, disable the automatic selection in Internet Explorer and choose rather Western European (ISO). If your program has an option to read HTML messages as plain text, the HTML version of the message may appear as an ATT0001. HTM attachment (the number may vary).
  • Problems with my mouse, and have not been able to find a solution to the research on various forums.

    Original title: mouse problems

    I have problems with my mouse and have not been able to find a solution to the research on various forums. Here are the symptoms:

    1. you must click several times to get the menus to open. Sometimes they are not just and sometimes they open with a single click flash but do not stick until I clicked several times.

    2 several times the menu drop down and seem to become transparent (not in looks) because when I click on something on the menu, he actually selects everything that is behind the menu drop down. For example, if I'm in powerpoint and you select an item in edit mode, it might work and here again he can just select the slideview behind the menu and expand. Or well, if I'm on a Web site, such as Facebook, and I chose to close the session, rather than enable the disconnection of the key, he chooses some ad is behind the part of the menu and redirects the page of this Web site.

    3. when I try to select a Word, words or sections as paragraphs, it performs several different things: continually select as soon as I let go of the mouse button, the jumps of color selection in another part of the document, or deselects the part of the text before I even let go of the mouse button.

    Here is what I tried:

    1. I had originally a usb wireless mouse. I changed the batteries and then got a new. Now I use a wired mouse.

    2 make sure all updates for Windows and Office 2010 are updated.

    3 has tried to update the drivers mouse, says that it is up-to-date. He restored, did not work. Uninstalled and restarted.

    4 Ran Windows Security Essential and Malwarebytes - found nothing.

    5. ensure that all the Toshiba updates were up-to-date.

    I don't know how the word this issue properly in order to find information about it. Everything I typed in search engines brings me other problems unrelated to this one.

    I am running W7 64 x Home Premium SP1, SP2 MS 2010 with a mouse Dell; Toshiba Satellite C655

    Well I have stumbled on the fix... looks like there was a problem with the HID-compliant mouse. The convenience store hardware detected and solved the problem. Everything seems to work properly again.

  • InAppPurchase: You already bought this, but it has not been downloaded

    Hello!

    Faced with the DONKEY ProductStore too long

    One of the questions that I keep facing is the popup "you already bought it but it has not been downloaded." Tap OK to download now"as well as some time after a prompt for password Apple ID.

    If I create a new user to test fresh, I'm able to test my InAppPurchase once, but no more than once. I get above popups.

    Any ideas where they come from or why I get or how to get rid them of them?

    It is making my life really difficult test and debug my InAppPurchase!

    (I use the DONKEY ProductStore from Adobe)

    Thank you!

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    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.

    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.

  • I had a problem with Outlook express for about two weeks I canoe delete most messages

    I have outlook express do not know which edition, but I have family xp I can't delete most messages for about Patrick weeks could have been the last automatic update, how do I fix this I tried to use a recent patch, and he said: I didn't need it im guessing that I need to cancel the update

    It wasn't the update. You have corruption of dbx files.

    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.
