When I send an e-mail to MS Outlook Express sends it leaves the Outbox and guard return the same email over and over again (unless I'm deleting it).

In other words, the e-mail message remains in the Outbox and is NOT in the SENT ITEMS folder.

You have apparent dbx file corruption.

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.

Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program.

  • Connect my e-mail yahoo for Outlook Express for Windows XP

    I followed the instructions in the wizard, but when I start Outlook, it evokes a box that says: "enter network password". In this box, it lists my server as being: pop.mail.yahoo.com. It then lists my user name (which is OK for yahoo), then he asks for my network password. I get my yahoo password, and nothing happens. He brings just to the top of the same box, as if my password is not their looking for. Also, when I try to send a piece of mail, it does not send in FACT, but it puts in the 'Outbox '. When I go to close Outlook, he asks me if I really want to close it, because I have letters in my Outbox.

    Thanks in advance for your comments!

    We are talking about Outlook or Outlook Express? You mention both.

    If it's a US or CA, Yahoo account, and that you are not subscribed to Yahoo Mail Plus, then you cannot access the account in Outlook Express.

    First save you it to disk.  Then, you need to ask those who sent him this program to use to open it.  You can then right-click on it and go to properties and click the button change to set the appropriate program.  If it has a file extension that would help a lot of things, but if not, you will need to ask the sender.

  • How to manage multiple e-mail accounts in Outlook Express?

    How to configure different e-mail accounts in Outlook Express?

    Hi Helen,

    To configure e-mail different accounts in Outlook Express follow the steps below:

    1. for each of your email accounts, find the type of email (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) account, the name of the incoming mail server (example: mail.isp.com) and the name of the outgoing SMTP mail server (example: SMTP.) FAI.com). this information is usually found in the file FAQ (frequently asked questions) of the provider or by sending an e-mail to the provider.

    2. start Outlook Express.

    3. Select accounts from the Tools menu. Click the mail tab.

    4. click Add on the right side of the box and choose mail. The Internet Connection Wizard appears.

    5. type the full account name (the name that appears in the line of the electronic mail sent from this account). Click Next.

    6. If you already have the new account, click on the top of the page radio button, enter the name of the account, and click Next.

    7. Enter the e-mail server information that you retrieved in the first step. Be sure to type the information exactly as it appears in your notes. Click Next.

    8. Enter the user name, as it appears on the account. The name is usually the above address; for example, the name of the account of [email protected] is "feedback".

    9 type the password to access the account. If the password is incorrect or if you do not remember, contact the mail provider.

    10 check the box remember password if you do not want Outlook to ask the password whenever it checks the mail.

    11. click on finish. Repeat as needed for all e-mail accounts

    12 change account properties by clicking on the name and choosing Properties from the list on the right.
