• Outlook express problems since updates

  My Outlook Express program stops downloading my emails or sent me a bunch of them.  Roadrunner says this isn't a problem with the server, but with one of the updates of Microsof.  Gave me a number to call Micrsoft.  They are not open until normal working hours Monday.  Anyone having this problem or knows what it is.    On Wednesday, April XLE, I installed 10 of them.

  I doubt that it was an update. OE had no one over the years.

  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - uncheck: leave a copy of messages on the server.

  If you still have problems, remove the POP3uidl.dbx file. I keep track of downloaded messages and may be damaged.

  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server. Then, remove the Pop3uidl.dbx file. You will get the messages once more, but it should be.

  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.

  With OE closed, find the Pop3uidl.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

  Finish compacting your folders.

   
  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
   
  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

• printer printing of outlook express problem

  Original title: printer problem
  I try to print a message on Outlook Express and when it prints, it starts at half way through the page. I went into preferences and in "paper format" there is a red "X" next to the envelope. I have tried everything I know to get rid of 'X' so I can print normally, but no luck. Until yesterday it worked fine. I have a new Ipad and yesterday I plugged it to my computer to download files, and since then, my computer does not print correctly. I obviously created a conflict which I do not know how to fix.  Help!

• Removal of e-mails with Outlook Express problems

  I can't delete some emails from my Inbox in Outlook Express.

  1. move all the messages you want to keep out folders, sent items and deleted items, and in other local OE folders you have created for archiving (backup) of such messages.

  1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

  2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

  2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (cf.http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

  3. close OE.

  4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & removeOutbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

  To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

  N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

  -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

  -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More onhttp://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

  -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

  -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

• Outlook express problem - he receives an email from Comcast, but will not send it.

  My Outlook Express cannot find the server to send e-mail.  I receive emails from my ISP.  Any suggestions to solve this problem

  It would be useful to include any error message you get when something like that happens as it may for various reasons. However, I'll look in my CrystalBall and suggest this:

  Change the SMTP port to 587 and ensure that: my server requires authentication is enabled.

• Compaction of the emails in Outlook Express - problems

  My computer prompted me to compact emails from my Outlook Express (OE) to free up space, so I did.  Now, I don't have any emails when I open Outlook Express.  How to reverse what I did.  I have important emails I need.  I went to tools, Options, then on maintenance and found the folder where the messages are stored, but cannot bring them back into OE.  Help, please!

  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? :

  Recovery methods:

  If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, 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:

• Outlook Express problem

  All of a sudden my emails are not visible in Outlook Express (Windows XP). The message is there, but the only way I can read is to manually open it as an attachment. It just started - before today that everything was fine. I also noticed that the function "search" in the start menu will not open now. By clicking on 'Search' just close the start menu. ???

  Have you tried a system restore?  I am very wary of the registry "cleaners", and as they usually result in the last things.  Was Norton an update of last week?  Things that would have penetrated.

  I try the system restore and also see if you can get to the control panel. Options Internet and then clear the TIF from there.

  You can also try IE8 uninstall and reinstallation of the control panel. Add / Remove programs and display the Windows updates so that you can find IE8.
