Too big Inbox.dbx

My Inbox.dbx file is too large. For this reason it will not display these emails in Outlook Express. How can I delete e-mails from the Inbox?

You have two choices. If you have not all the messages you need, you can just wipe out the Inbox by creating a new.

If you do you need, follow these steps, but instead of remove the Inbox.dbx, rename it to Inboxold.dbx messages. You will always have a new Inbox, empty and working, but will need a tool to recover lost messages. Do as described below, then post back.

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 box of Inbox.dbx and delete it.  A new Inbox 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.

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:

And backup often.

  • How to turn on the old box of Inbox.dbx is visible in Outlook Express?

    Original title: outlook express.

    My Inbox.dbx OE Inbox is full. When I create the new Inbox.dbx box, I can send/receive emails but can not see my old mails which is very important for me. So please give me any suggestions so that I can see the e-mails of my two different boxes.

    You can't have two different boxes.  If you get a message stating that your Inbox is full, it is perhaps on the server and not from OE itself.  This means that there are too many messages on the server and you need to clean them out of it.

    Otherwise, if the message is that the Inbox is too large, then you must create a new Inbox and you can try to import the old one using a different name for the folder.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

    Dbx files should not exceed two gigabytes in size, so if you have one of this size or close, you have to move messages to other folders so that when they are analyzed in smaller size files.  Folders in OE will not exceed a few hundred megabytes or they will be damaged and you lose messages.

    It is also a good idea at this point to make a backup.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

  • ITunes 12.5.1.21 to PC fonts and graphics are too big.

    Just downloaded Itunes 12.5.1.21 for PC and the graphics and fonts are way too big and blurry. I am running 32-bit Windows 7. It is completely unmanageable. There is no music stored on the PC, it's all in the cloud. I had itunes on the PC for many years and this is the first time that this has happened. Is there a way to fix this? I've deleted and reinstalled and it's the same thing...

    Same here, Win10.all of development and large photos and fonts

  • The icons are too big

    The icons are too big for the screen. I'm unable to reduce them. Can you help me?

    You can attach a screenshot?

    • Use a type of compressed as PNG or JPG image to save the screenshot
    • Make sure you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

    Try to assign layout.css.devPixelsPerPx 1.0 (default is - 1) on the topic: config page.
    If necessary adjust the value by 0.1 or 0.05 (1.1 or 0.9) until icons or text looks right.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    You can watch the Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint extension to define a page zoom and the size of the default font on the web pages.

  • Window is too big for the screen, do not set by f11 or alt/space

    When enlarged, the view is too big to get the edges to move smaller. When I try to drag the top bar, it jumps to the small view rather than allowing me to reposition the window. The reduced view is only about 2 x 4 inches. Of course, I can make this larger point of view, but then I lose the choice of two sizes.

    There is no problem with changing the size of the fonts, etc, just the size of the main view. The problem is that in Firefox, not other programs.

    I tried the Firefox reset procedure, but that didn't help either.

    Oh, wait. You cannot resize a window enlarged, so that it runs from edge to edge without the sizing handles is normal Windows. You need only the above procedure, if the window is so large that it blocks the taskbar or the monitor runs away.

  • Default zoom is too big

    I just upgraded to Firefox on Ubuntu 14.04/64 bit 38. Before the upgrade, all Web pages that are displayed perfectly normally. Now, v 38, the default zoom is very large. I have to ctl-less every webpage I visit for the zoom down to a normal size...
    In fact, the entire user interface of 38 is too big... icons on the bookmarks bar are much larger than they were on 37.0.2... What has changed between 37.0.2 and 38?

  • Open message window is too big

    When I double-click on a message, it opens in a new window, which is what I want. The problem is too big for one of my two monitors. I can manually move the window with a tedious combination of keystrokes on the keyboard / mouse clicks, which would almost be OK. The real problem is that TB remembers the settings in this window, and every time I open a message in a new window, I have the same problem. I tried these for one for this issue, without success. I use a new computer with new software: 8.1 win and a fresh install of TB.

    Help, please!

    Thank you, Mark.

    This is to document what has been discussed by e-mail.

    1. When a message window is opened, view-> Zoom-> Reset (or Ctrl-0 is a zero)
    2. Try to view-> discussion-> ignore Threads.
    3. You have everything running antivirus software?
    4. In Control Panel-> ease of access, have you changed the display settings?
    5. Try to run without Add - ons. Help-> restart with disabled modules.
  • Print size too big to fit on a page in FF, not in Chrome.

    Have Win XP pro, Epson TX100 printer. At some time the impression was almost too small to read. Lately, it is too big to fit a page unless I use the print command on the file menu, where I can change the % the size, but then I get the entire page showing the FF headers, sidebar, etc.. I tried to change the font size in FF, but it makes no difference.

    I forgot to mention that the Page configuration settings are available in two places:

    (1) (File menu menu bar) > Page Setup

    If you do not normally display the menu bar, you can display it temporarily by pressing the Alt or F10 keys.

    (2) print preview

    The toolbar has a Page Setup button, and the scaling and orientation are exposed both directly on the bar.

  • Try to do a 1080 p Quicktime file - 20 GB is too big!

    Hello

    I'm trying to export a project exhibition at a film festival.  It should be Apple ProRes 422 HQ and 1080 p.  The original material was Apple ProRes 720 p files.  When I export it with parameters ProRes/1080 p file is 20 GB, too big to put in a box or on google reader.  Anyone know how I can make this smaller file and always respect the specifications of the film festival?  I have Final Cut Pro 7, Compressor 3.5 and 10.4 of Quicktime.  Thank you!

    You have a few questions here, but to address the issue of size - what's your movie?

    1920 x 1080 ProRes HQ @ 29.97 is about 27.5 MB/sec.

    20 concerts is 20480 MB about, is your movie a dozen minutes long?

    If it's the specification of entry, you must join. Do the orientation presentation suggests methods to provide the entries?

    Also - you are upscaling your 720 p to 1080 p source material, this upscaling will have an impact on the quality of your image, you're OK with that?

  • I am looking for a solution Server (with Te css) for the fact that Firefox uses the system DPI settings, which makes my site look (too) big.

    My site appears much too big in firefox. And I want all browsers to view my site properly.
    I know that there are settings wihtin firefox that fix this problem. But I'm looking for a solution on server side, so that visitors to my site must not be disturbed by changing their settings.

    You may need to change your site as soon as 30 Chrome and IE 11 will also use the system DPI setting (like Firefox does now).

    Possible solution:

    • Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
    • If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
    • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

    • Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.

    If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase the size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.

    If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .

    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .

  • downloaded file too big for the flash player movie

    I downloaded a HD movie on my computer, but I want to put it on a Sandisk 32 GB flash drive. When I tried to drag it to the flash drive, it says that the file could not be copied because it was too big for the size of the volume. The site I downloaded the movie says something about the use of IGetter. I Igetter in my applications, but it does not open because it says it's a developer not identified. (This may be before Yosemite download.) Anyway, my question is, is it possible to download and save a movie on a flash drive?

    You must clear the disc in one format other than FAT32 or to segment the file so that the files are smaller than 4 GB.

  • too big browser

    After you download the new so far, my browser is too big I.e. the bars tab, and most visited, not only the police but all menu. Web sites are also too big, Ive checked my OS display and everything seems to be normal

    When you have configured your system to display 125%, firefox will now respect this setting and also display at this size...

    If 'layout.css.devPixelsPerPx' to 1.0 is too small, then try with 1.05, 1.1, 1.15 and so on to find a setting that corresponds to your needs. also if you already use an extension to adjust the default zoom size you can turn off first, so that it does not add a factor of extra zoom to the new display settings.

  • Why pages such as natwest and ELC not displayed correctly? It's as if their text is too big, yet other pages are very well?

    I have abrand new laptop ASUS with a 11 and a half inch screen. I've updated Windows system and uses the latest version of firefox. I went through all the advice in the section including firefox help clear the cache and cookies, and also check all the settings for the text, but none of this has fixed the problem. For example when I connect to my Bank in the text line is that big it does not fit in the boxes of natwest screen, so I can display all of the text and it gets mixed together in some places. With ELC, a good example is the menu at the top of the page which shows all categories of products they sell for you to click on. Because writing is too big it does not display properly. Im not sure what else to do in crrect. Can anyone help?

    I noticed in this screenshot that you have increased proportional size from 16 to 24.

    This helps to redefine 16?

    You can see the default values in a screenshot in this article:

    You can reset the fonts preferences on the topic: config page by default via the context menu.

    • Open the topic: config page through the address bar and do a TEXT search through the top search bar of the about: config page.
    • Reset all the font.* related prefs which appear "BOLD" (user set) via the context menu to their default value.
