• Outlook express cannot delete messages in the Inbox

  my outlook express cannot delete messages in the Inbox. After that, click on Delete on any e-mail item, nothing happens.

  You are the very welcome, but please take into account preventive advice.
   

  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.

  original title: how to restore my data express form in outlook that was placed in the trash, I moved an email in a folder and all other data files were sent to the Recycle Bin

  1. Please do not use Outlook as a shortcut to Outlook Express. They are two completely different programs.
  2. Bak files, you see in the trash is moved when you attemptrd to move messages, i.e. an automatic backup that occurs when the compaction of your records. They were probably there already.
   
  If you are moving messages, first examine all records to ensure that they don't end up in the right folder, or becomes one subfolder of another. If this is not the case, read on.

  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 are running XP/SP3, 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:

  Go to view | Current view | Show all messages to make sure that you have just selected 'Hide read messages.

  If this does not help, check your Recycle Bin, the bak files which are dbx files, you can restore backups.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  If this does not help, then you will probably need my program DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/), which will extract the messages from individual dbx files, and if messages are no longer in the files, it can extract from the disc itself.

• Delete the message "for free space disk outlook express can compact messages."

  I use a PC with Windows XP SP3. I use Outlook Express to access a mail server via POP3 / SMTP. Several times, I get a message saying "Disk outlook express can compact messages for free space": how to prevent the message from appearing?

  I read the posts in this forum even on users not using only not OE. I use OE, but I want to choose if and when compacting messages...

  Greetings and greetings of the season

  Prompt compaction is triggered whenever you close OE 100 times.  So if you compact manually, you don't get invited again until you close OE for another 100 times.  Unfortunately there is no way to change this.  Dbx files shall be compacted.  If they are not, they will move on to an enormous size, and then get corrupted, so it is important to pack on a regular basis.

• Pop-up message to start Outlook express to compress messages. Unwanted. How do I turn it off?

  Whenever I start my computer, Outlook Express has a message he can save hard drive space by compressing messages.  I don't want to do this but he won't give any possibility of not.  Just says: "Ok Cancel" will appear then again net bootup.  How can I activate this view or function?

  OE questions should be asked here in the future.

  Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

  Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

  See:

  With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
  http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

  If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

• Outlook Express 6.0: message Constant (every 10-15 seconds) - Outlook Express can compact messages.

  In the last 4-6 months, I get the message: "to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes. OK / Cancel. "This happens when my computer starts (after welcome screen) up to and including when that I disconnect during the night. AND it happens every 10-15 seconds and up to a few hours. then it stops for several hours and then again every 10-15 seconds. To say that it is boring, frustrating and a pain in the * would be a major understatement.
  I never click OK; always Cancel. I have NO idea why this is happening.

  Around the same time that it started, so-called indexing (?) stood. He appears on the Desktop Board. I never asked for it, have no idea what it is, etc. Have no idea if the two are connected.                   Questions:1) how "Compact messages" go away forever? Where they come from? Why are the projection on my computer.        Note: I am the one and only user on this computer!
  (2) what is indexing? Why I need or want? Why it appear? He needs to go ASAP!

  Finally, the technical stuff: OS - XP Pro SP3. Antivirus: Webroot 2011-2012. To update all patches from Microsoft. Browser: Firefox.
  Nobody knows what is happening and how to make it go away.

  Thank you very much!!!                                    P.S. in the time it took me write this (about 5-7 minutes), the "Compact messages) showed up to 10 times! You see why I'm ready to tear my hair out?

  Assuming that you use either OE, and or, you leave compact once, indexing is perhaps the reason. Windows Search is installed?

  You must tell Windows Search to stop indexing OE.

  Windows Search. Set Desktop Search Options
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Australia/windows/desktopsearch/search/options.mspx

  In the control panel. Indexing Options. Change. Clear the check box for Outlook Express.

  You may leave compact once to reset the counter, but which should end with the prompt up to 100 closures of OE. If you do not OE, you let compact occasionally.

• Outlook Express sends the message, however, the message remains in the "Outbox", does not go to the "sent items".

  When I send an e-mail message, the message is sent, however, it remains in my "Outbox" and does not go to the contrary to my Inbox "sent items".  Downstairs, to the left of the Outbox, a message says '0 1 message sent' but the e-mail message is sent.  I "fixed" internet explore and "restored" to a policy earlier, but this has not solved the problem.  What is the solution?  Please notify.  Thank you.

  I have moved all my messages on my "Sent items" folder and the "trash" to other folders, closed Outlook Express and delete the file Sent Items.dbx and Outbox.dbx file.  I reopened Outlook Express, and it does not create new sent items folders and the Outbox.

  I created a new identity as the solution.  Thanks for the help.

• Outlook Express can compact messages. How can I disable this error?

  OUTLOOK Express on Windows XP very annoying, it's almost each and every time I click on anything whether to open or close any program, etc...

  An error message is displayed: OUTLOOK Express: to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.

  This can take up to a few minutes.      OK or CANCEL

  It's on my computer for several years now and bugs the heck out of me.  How can I remove it so he won't?

  ALSO: All programs when opening are reduced to the minimum (small format) forces me to click on the big box next to the RED X at the top right?

  Why this is happening and how to remove this problem.  I do NOT need to expand all my programs constantly from the start?

  Thanks for your help Mike G.   * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *

  I do not use OE so I really should stay out of it, but I have it in my notes that can get you started and then other people may also help:

  I advise all to first understand what is happening and then decide how best to treat for your environment:

  If you are talking about a message that says:

  To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

  If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

  Compact Check Count

  It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

  \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

  Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment (increment is not a verb so you can't increment something and a counter cannot be incremented).  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

  There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

  Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

  If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it works which is usually at least at each reboot.

  If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

  So if you have Desktop Search installed, which will increase the counter of an increment, each time that you start and if you open and close OE ten times a day, your meter will be at eleven after only a day.  Repeat this for 9 days and you will see this message.

  Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which will still increase the meter, so when the meter reaches 100, Windows Desktop Search will prompt you to compress messages at the next reboot even if you use not OE.

  This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using OE or not.

  No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

  Did you know that the "increase" is not a verb?  If you cannot 'increment' (or decrement) a counter.  You can increase or decrease an increment, however.

  You can compress data when prompted (which resets the counter to 0).

  You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

  If you do not use Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

  To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

  Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

  After the Outlook Express recommended for use (which would include the normal database maintenance) will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

  Most people using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search agree just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

  Windows Desktop Search is a memory and CPU of pigs anyway, so you better system performance if you just uninstall it.

  Here is an article with some other information:

• To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Every few minutes the message:

  "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.  This can take up to a few minutes. »

  It is irrelevant for two reasons:

  (1) I do not use Outlook Express and have therefore no messages to be compacted.

  (2) I have not free disk space as I am currently using only five percent of the very large disks.

  Is could someone please tell me how I get rid of this very irritating message.

  Try to reset the compact County in the registry:

  1. Start the registry editor.
  2. Open this key:

     \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\ {identity}

     where the identity is a string of letters, numbers, and dashes.

  3. The value of Compact Check Count to 0.
  4. Close the registry editor.

  You can do this if the Server SMTP allows you to send from a location that you are not connected via their internet service.  So if you have this permission, go to tools | Accounts | Add mail.  Then under the account of property | You want to set the server for incoming mail to the POP3 account, and then the SMTP protocol for the other account that you use to send servers.  And then indicate whether or not the server requires authentication, and if yes, then you will need to put in the user name and password for the SMTP server it.  Under properties. Advanced to define appropriate ports that may be different from the default value according to e-mail accounts.  You can also check the "leave a copy of messages on the server" for accounts POP3, if you access messages from multiple computers.

  Once you have an account set up, then you can set others upward in the same way, but change the POP3 properties for each while leaving the SMTP ones the same.

  Once you have all that in place, you might want to backup things in case something goes wrong: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

• Get the message "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages" - No. OE installed

  From the beginning of this week, I get a pop-up message stating "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages".  This happens when that I start.  The fact is; I do not use Outlook Express or have installed. I checked the Windows components that are installed and checked that.  Once again; He started at the beginning of this week.  There are a few updates that was installed earlier this week also.  No other software has been added.  I use Outlook 2003 and have for years.  Will continue to cancel this message, I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on how to prevent this message from poping up upward.

  Of course, it has something to with Windows Search as you suggest.
  I open the Indexing Options and found that Outlook Express was listed and checked in an indexed location.
  I took the case off Outlook Express but he left on my Outlook 2003.
  The settings saved and restarted.
  The message poped always upward, but I noticed one thing - search index icon does not appear in the taskbar until I actually recognized the message by choosing .  I waited about a minute and a half before that I did to make sure my boot is complete.  Soon I clicked on cancel search index icon appeared on the system tray.
