• I got a partial answer to my question about "how to delete emails from the Inbox in Outlook Express. Can I track my original request with a follow-up of the issue?

  Thank you very much for your answer.
   
  Outlook Express is listed on the Start button.  Following your instructions,.
   
  I clicked on start, Control Panel, Folder Options/view.  Point of view, a list of Options have been posted and some have been checked, including 'display the hidden files and folders '.
   
  I do not know how to find Inbox.dbx.  I still find 41 messages in the Inbox, 78 in the deleted items and 14 in mass mailings.  When I click on "remove" messages, I get a message - "the server is not found. In addition, unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server.
   
  "I uncheck" "include this account" so then, I probably is no longer get emails in Outlook Express.  My hard drive is pathetic looking.  I find a small "Ribbon of pink pie (unused space) and in the rest of the cake shape is 'BLUE'.  I thought that E-mails from Outlook Express can be responsible for my hard drive being so full. After I empty all these junk emails in 2008, I have to know what else I can remove to open more space on my hard drive.
   
  Thank you for your patience and for your help.

  After deleting messages in OE, go to file | Folder | Compact to reduce the size of the folder.  Otherwise removal does not affect the size of a folder.  You should probably go to file | Folder | Compact everything to reduce all sizes of folder in OE.  I would like to make a backup first.

  For more free space on your disk, click Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup.

  It is not best to start a new message when you are tracking on another, because nobody knows what you're referring to when you the previous thread.  I managed to find it well and Bruce said: ' tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files.

• Impossible to delete the Inbox in outlook express

  I've had problems with Outlook Express 6.0 for a couple of minths now.  I can't delete messages in my Inbox and I can't drag those I want to save to other folders.  It is also extremely slow to open now.

  Any ideas that I can do to get this back to the way that it work use dto?

  I don't know what happened because of this problem.

  This can be difficult if you have messages in the Inbox you want to save, so let's start with what is safe.
   
   
  Create a new folder deleted items with no message in it that you want to save.
   
  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 files of user OE (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 file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
   
  Close OE, reboot and see if you can move messages from the Inbox to a folder created by the user. After the return. There is much more to do.

• How can I bulk delete old messages, in the Inbox, and send. Some go back 2 years!

  I can manually delete messages, but this is a time-consuming operation.

  I can empty the deleted items folder, but I did not have this option in the Inbox or sent items folders.

  When the Inbox is open, highlight an email.

  Then just click on the "Edit" menu at the top, then choose 'select all' which will highlight all the contents of this folder.

  After return to the Edit menu, then choose 'delete' and all these emails will be deleted.

  If you do not want to delete all the emails, but to delete e-mails in mass.

  You can also simply click on an email, then hold down the 'CTRL' on the keyboard and continue by clicking as many messages as you want (they are all selected) then right click and choose 'Remove' and all seslected emails that you clicked will be deleted altogether.

• Why was the full Inbox folder when there is no message in the folder of outlook express?

  Original title: failure of Outlook Express

  I apologize if I am in the wrong category, but there isn't one for Outlook Express. I encountered a strange problem with OE. My client always uses OE for their emails and all of a sudden a person has lost the ability to receive emails. After some research, I found that their Inbox.dbx file exceeded the capacity of 2 GB. Juggling which corrects the problem.

  But my question is why was the folder Inbox full, when there is no message in the folder? When I opened the OE to try to resolve the problem, the Inbox was empty! Second question is how can I keep this does not happen?

  I do not use Outlook, but it has nothing to do with archiving. Only, you do not see messages once you remove them, but they are still on your drive hard until you compact.
