Restore an Outlook Express account

Recently, my mother accidentally deleted by Windows XP and had to recreate. Subsequently, she opens Outlook Express to see that it is unable to locate his e-mails. I've never used Outlook Express, ever, so I'm completely lost in the way of trying to have Outlook Express 'find' his 'old' emails. Any help would be appreciated.

This is for Windows XP, we didn't have any sort of anti-virus installed at the moment, nor do we have any sort of third party running software.

A process in several steps. The first step is to enable hidden files.

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.

Then do a search for *.dbx if all goes well, you will find two named Outlook Express folders containing the dbx files. One for the account you just set up, and other of the old account.

The path to the message will be very similar to this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

Determine which folder has 'lost' messages and then import them.

Open OE and: file | Import | Messages. Select Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and import to and from OE store directory and point to the folder with the old messages.

  • How to restore the Outlook Express e-mail messages

    I needed to do a 'clean' of my OS, XP Pro SP3 install.  So I ran a back up prior to the re - install on an external hard drive.  I used integrated firm ware of the external hard drive to perform the back upward.

    After the re-install, I want to get some of the e-mail messages.  I can't find the external hard disk Outlook Express folder, but nothing in the folder has the appearance of a file that is an e-mail message.

    This makes me wonder, where Outlook Express to save e-mail messages, anyway?  Then maybe I could identify the record or file to restore.

    I hope someone can help me with some advice.
    Thank you.

  • I'm unable to download my Gmail email on my Outlook Express account.

    I have two gmail accounts on my Outlook Express.  They have worked very well for the last three years

    One of the accounts suddenly began to give a problem.  It won't let me download my email to OE - even if the gmail account is good if I go in through Google.

    The error I get is

    "There was a problem connecting to your e-mail server. Your password was rejected. "Account: 'pop.gmail.com', server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR [AUTH] username and password not accepted.', Port: 995, secure (SSL): Yes, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC92.

    Now - I managed to fix this error by deleting my account gmail to OE and then put it back.  I then works fine - until I got disabling my computor.

    When I reboot my computor I have the same problem.

    The other gmail address / account on the works of OE 100% - with the same settings (POP, etc.)

    Help, please

    If Diane fix does not help, try the problem Gmail account into a new identity in OE. File | Identities | Add the new identity. If it works there, set up another Gmail account as well and import all of your messages. Use this new identity.

  • I can't send e-mail from two of my Outlook Express email accounts. Error 0X800CCC79 No.

    Outlook Express v 6.0.  without doubt, 2000-2003. Windows XP operating system

    My ISP is the post office. I have 3 email accounts of separate post office that work very well.  I have also 2 e-mail addresses of tiscali set up in Outlook Express accounts, as well as 3 my post office accounts.  I can receive emails in addresses tiscali but my problem is that I can't send email on the part of Auditors 2, tiscali. I get various error messages, for the most part No. 0X800CCC79 error. I tried literally everything change and change the details and parameters in the 'Accounts' menus, but whether, I can't send emails for 2 accounts tiscali. Any suggestions?

    If you are not connected to a service, then often you cannot send through the service to block spam.  Othertimes, it depends on appropriate settings.  So you should contact the provider tiscali (or check their website for the OE settings) and tell them, you are connected via a different provider and try to send and they have an alternative setting that you can use.  It depends on the provider.

  • How to configure Outlook Express using a hotmail account by using a USB from Rogers modem to connect to internet

    I have my hotmail account set as Microsoft Outlook on the laptop using a USB from Rogers modem to connect to internet (I put in place using outlook connector).  I want to configure my hotmail account in Outlook Express (I don't think that we can have two separate accounts of Microsoft Outlook email on a laptop).  I'm absolutely baffled as the server name, incoming and outgoing mail server addresses.  By Rogers Web site, the incoming server is POP3 incoming mail server: pop.broadband.rogers.com and mail server: smtp.broadband.rogers.com that does not work.

    Thanks for your help,

    Carol

    The parameters you listed are for a Rogers.com e-mail account, not for a Hotmail account.  Please see How to add your e-mail to Microsoft Outlook Express account to the right settings.

    BTW, you can have two separate accounts of Microsoft Outlook on a laptop.  Here are two ways to do:

    • If you and your partner have separate Windows user accounts, you will automatically have separate Outlook accounts.
    • If you use the same Windows user account, create a separate profile for each of you in Control Panel > Mail .

  • Outlook Express Hotmail Outlook photo project vs vs vs vs new email address

    I had Outlook Express until January 2009. I moved to another State and created a Hotmail account. I didn't close my Outlook Express account so as a result I can not send pictures and send to some people without bringing to the top of this screen. If I change my Hotmail to Outlook should I create a new password? And if I do how all contacts will receive the new address? If I combine the two accounts will I be able to use Picture Project?

    Hello

    What type of e-mail account in Outlook Express did you use?

    Outlook Express is a program of e-mail that was included in Windows XP and earlier versions. You can access any e-mail account in this program. Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail in Vista and Windows Live Mail on Windows 7.

    Hotmail and Outlook.com are e-mail accounts. Although Outlook.com replaces Hotmail, you can still use the Hotmail.com address, as long as you want.
