Troubleshooting Outlook Express error message - error number: 0x800C0133

I NEED HELP to SOLVE A PROBLEM WITH OUTLOOK EXPRESS - cannot GET RID OF THE ERROR MESSAGE AFTER TRYING all THE SOLUTIONS LIST AND EVEN EMPTY THE Inbox EMPTY. Help, please!

USING OUTLOOK EXPRESS 8.0 WITH WINDOWS XP, I CAN'T RECEIVE MAIL IN MY INBOX ALTHOUGH IT SHOWS A NUMBER OF MESSAGES RECEIVED. I GET THIS ERROR MESSAGE:
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'Hotmail', server: 'pop3.live.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, secure (SSL): Yes, error number: 0x800C0133

Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.

Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.

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 | View.

With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another 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.

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:

    I can send but not receive emails, have tried a system restore which initially solved the problem, but almost immediately the problem has re-emerged... any help gratefully received... I've tried everything I know, but can not solve the problem. Thank you

    In addition to the suggestion of Firedog, after disabling email scanning (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3) you may need to remove your e-mail account, close and reopen OE and then add it back back.

    You may have a corrupt inbox.  Move all messages from the Inbox to another folder if you can.  Then move the inbox.dbx file in another directory in the message store directory (found via Tools |) Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Storage folder and files are hidden).  OE will create a new one so that should solve the problem.

    Alternatively, you can go to file | Identities and setup a new identity, which will give you a new message store) and then add your e-mail account.  If it works fine, you can use the file | Import | Messages to get the messages from the old identity.

    In the future see points 2 and 3 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and make sure that you back up your messages frequently, because cases often get corrupted.

  • Need help to resolve Outlook express problem error number: 0x800C0133.

    When I open my Outlook Express mailbox, "I see the message: error number: 0x800C0133.

    I can send messages, but cannot receive any.

    The other problem is the message when you use Outlook Express, which keeps popping up all the time: "to free up space, Outlook Express can compress messages. This may take a few minutes. So I have to restart my pps, etc. that I've been listening.

    Your Inbox may be altered.  Go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  Add your email account and see if it works very well.  If this is the case, then go to file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

    It is important to keep files compacted, as otherwise, the GET corrupted and you will lose messages, then you get invited to compact, let him finish.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  • Outlook express error "0x8007007E".

    Original title: Outlook Express errors

    Trying to open OE I get error 0x8007007E; The identity of the connection was not found. Some components are missing or misconfigured. MSOE, DLL could not be initialized. How can I fix.

    Hi WilliamMGreen,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time you were able to open Outlook express on the computer?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if you can open outlook express.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest you repair outlook express on the computer and check if it helps.
