How to get my Outlook Express to work

When I click on Outlook Express I get a blank page with (work in line/connection in the lower right corner. Nothing happens.

Folders.dbx is probably damaged.
 
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.
 
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
 
With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
 
Note these possible side effects:
 
When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.

    When I click on Outlook Express, all I get is the blue 'title field' then the hourglass and it won't go any further than that.  The blue box stays there indefinitely, and all other functions on my PC just slowing down.  Any ideas please?

    Glad you got it work & you are the very welcome, but some tips to follow in order to avoid this in the future, if you don't mind.

    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:

    How is it when I try to open one of my favorte often visited Web sites I get a blank page with only the word 'false' in the upper left?

    This just started happening the last two days.  I tried to add the url to my list to activate in Internet Options, also to accept the list for windows firewall. I rebooted and restored.

    It is annoying when I can't access Web sites on my PC.  There is no control parenting, nor is it a reason to be since I'm 57 years old, single, live alone and have no children, and not to mention that this isn't a single adult site. This is an auction site.  The same thing happens on a site of sports too.

  • How can I get these bars in the lower right corner, which means that I have access to the internet

    How do these bars back on the lower right part of my laptop that say I have access to the internet

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Let me ask you;

    • Are you referring to Wi - Fi or LAN icon on the taskbar?
    • When was the last time you were able to view the icon?
    • Remember to no particular change in the PC before the show?

    The option to show wireless icon on the notification area of the task bar of Windows 7 while the system is connected to the network must be enabled both on the system options, as well as network properties.

    a. for the activation of the option from the taskbar, you can click on any where in the taskbar, and then select the option "Properties".

    b. in the window that appears, choose the tab "To-do bar" and then select the option 'Notification area'.

    c. now, click on the "Customize" option and select "Show icon and notifications" option near the menu "network".

    d. click "Ok" and close the dialog box.

    e. you can also activate the 'Notification of connection Wireless Show' option of the 'Properties' of the connection dialog box.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Outlook Express will not accept accept a change of password to connect to the server

    Outlook Express has been working very well to access my Verizon email account.  I had the opportunity to change my verizon account password.  Now, I can not Outlook Express to accept the change of password.  I've seen several comments on this subject in previous years, but for some reason some can't find a resolution for this.

    Hi Bruce and Vondo,

    The problem has been fixed.  I got to speak to a representative of different Verizon tech who confirmed that the problem was indeed a problem with Verizon and had nothing to do with Microsoft.  After confirming that I had taken all the possible correct steps, with the help of a L2 tech 3, he made the necessary adjustments on the side of Verizon.  Although he did not specify what has been done to correct the problem, he says that my account is in a loop of "authentication", which was caused when I changed my password for Verizon.  It should not have happened, but he recognized immediately what was wrong wihen it looked at my account.

    Congratulations to him personally to admit that it was a matter of Verizon and correct the problem.

    Hi tmmjr,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    a. Since when are you facing this problem?
    b. did you change to your computer recently?

    Perform the clean boot on your computer and check.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    To perform a clean boot on a computer, follow these steps.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
     
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
     
    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
    5. click on OK.
    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.
