• using outlook express 6 with programs it is bound to

  I use 4 dell towers, 3 dimension 8100 and 1 4600. All are loaded with IE6 and OE6. OE is related to a number of programs both MS and MS No. One of them is OPEN OFFICE. I wrote a letter recently with OO and tried to send by email (OE6) only built the choice... Error "CAN'T FIND WORK email APPLICATION". I went on the desktop, open OE, attempted an email, the same error. I have tried other programs all the same error. I went on all THE PROGRAMS. NOT on any list! Even an internal search came empty. I tried a SYSTEM RESTORE. 'INCOMPLETE' as usual. With nothing else to try, I'm done reload the operating system, XP PRO, and then all my programs, once again. OE6 is now stable and performs as expected. To check, I saw the other 2. Both had similar problems. # 2, however a SR work MADE for a while until that the OE icon and the program disappeared on its own. A second SR did NOT work. OS Reload once again. Icon #3 was there, was not. Still another SR has been tried with success. # 4, everything was fine. Why all the variables is a mystery to me. Fortunately I have multiple My DELL operating system CD copies if no key is requested. The version of MS is also included on the same CD. I mean, sure, I don't have a key that the process will accept from these towers have been improved for XP by someone else in the past with everything that CD has worked for him. If there is another way out of this kind of disorder to reload the operating system, I would like to know about it. Reload only OE6, reloading with the included OE6 IE6 would be nice as well. My goal here is to my sad story in the hope he can help other technicians not like me. All responses with suggestions, solutions will be welcome.

  ... I wrote a letter recently with OO and tried to send by email (OE6) only built the choice... Error "CAN'T FIND WORK email APPLICATION".

  I suspect that you will find that Open Office (like many other applications) requires an e-mail client (e.g. MS Outlook) full MAPI can SEND a file. Outlook Express is a Simple MAPI email client and so inconsistent.

  A solution would be to save the file to your HARD drive and then attach it to a new message in OE.

• Outlook Express 6 problems with multiple identities. I get my wife mail and vice versa.

  Currently using Outlook Express 6. Recently set up an e-mail address for my wife with our new provider. I then created a new identity in Outlook Express for my wife. When a local retailer sent him an e-mail he went to my email and not his, even if the e-mail was sent correctly. Can someone tell me why this is happening because my phone company cannot. Thank you

  If Yes to both, each identity, go to tools | Accounts. Make sure you that your account is not listed in his identity and his in are not not in your identity.

• I am having major problems with my emails. I can send emails OK but I can't receive them. I use Outlook Express.

  I am having major problems with my emails.  I can send emails OK but I can't receive them.  I use Outlook Express.  When I first turn on outlook express, emails start coming, but then outlook express crashes.  I disable outlook express and start again. My emails are stuck in the Orange webmail box until the last email is downloaded.  This means that I sometimes get the same time to send four or five. I called technical support Orange several times, but they say it's a problem of microsoft. I use Windows XP.

  original title: I can't receive emails from outlook express.

  Hi Mike,.

  Make sure that you have not activated your antivirus software analysis of electronic mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 which is often a problem with receiving and sending a message.

  Then, try to go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give you a new message store and a new registry hive (where all the settings and account info is).  Add your email account and see if it works very well.  If it sticks sometimes, make sure that you are not setting to check messages too often (like every 3 minutes or somesuch).  You can also try to increase the timeout for the server where this is a problem (Tools |) Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced).  See if who deals with issues "" OE gel.  If Yes, then you can use the file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

  I do not know that moving to Outlook might solve the problem, because they both use the same mechanism to retrieve messages.  If you still have problems, come on and generate a log file and when OE freezes, which could give some indication of what is the underlying problem.  Make sure that you disable the log file later, because this file grows enormously and can cause problems if it becomes too large.

  I am trying to disable windows live mail, but I need windows live for my xbox, I use outlook express but now WLM keeps poping up. IWant outlook express with yahoo on windows xp email. What can I do?

  Try going to tools | Options in OE and set it as default value for it.  Also in Internet Explorer go to tools | Internet Options | Programs and set as default OE it as well, or click the reset web settings button, if it is present.

  Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

  For Messages:

  Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

  Location of OE message store:

  In 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.

  For addresses:

  Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

  Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.

  For the account settings:

  In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

• I use OUtlook Express for e-mail. Night that suddenly disappeared from the value of a full year of emails - for example from October 2011 to the today October 2012. How can I get back them?

  I have been using Outlook Express 6 for more than 20 years without a single problem so far. Value of a full year of emails has disappeared all of a sudden my box but all e-mail messages seem to be always in place of my sent folder.

  How can I recover these e-mails Inbox?

  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:

• Unable to use Outlook Express 6

  You need to contact your email provider for the name of user and password and the server names and ports to use.   Without this information, you won't be able to use it.  See your email provider's website and see if they have the correct settings for OE.

• When you use Outlook Express from home I can send and receive emails, but when I'm away from my connection at home I can only receive emails.

  Problems using Outlook Express offline at home

  I get an error message when I try to send e-mails, would it be possible to send and receive e-mails via Outlook Express from another connection. I hope someone can help, thank you.

  Always display the complete text and correct all errors when you ask about a problem.

  ISPS don't like people using their networks to forward mail from other networks.  The symptoms you describe are usually the result of not properly is authenticating with the outgoing server or the use of a non encrypted SMTP connection (that is, port 25 instead of 587 or 465 or whatever your email port provider requires for encryption).

• When you send an e-mail using Outlook Express, I immediately get this message; "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details"

  When you send an e-mail using Outlook Express, I immediately get this message; "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details". Unfortunately, there are no errors listed below and the green bar is frozen on the screen. The message remains in my Outbox and repeated again and again sending. There is absolutely no record and file sent in my sent box. TIA - Ernie

  You have apparent dbx file corruption. A common problem.
   
  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.
   
  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 DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
  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.
   
  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
   
  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.

  I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message "too big for the server" responses I've seen so far tell me absolutely nothing

  Well, the error message says it all.  "" too big for server".

  There is a limit imposed by your ISP/mail server, which you don't mention.

  Not only the servers have limits on the size, this is not necessarily the same for incoming and outgoing messages.

  If you say you use the e-mail program and the name of your e-mail server, maybe we can shed light on the more specific issue, but the problem is definitely with them and not Outlook Express.

  P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by 'signature'
