Windows XP SP3 - Outlook Express receives and sends mail but do not delete received messages. Can you help?

Windows XP SP3 - Outlook Express receives and sends messages, but do not delete received messages.  Can you help?

You have corruption of dbx files.
 
Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close 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.
 
With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
 
Compact all folders as described below.
 
To avoid this in the future:
 
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:

    You did mention what email client you use. If Outlook Express, turn off e-mail scanning in your antivirus software. 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:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available.

    In addition, reset the modem and router if you have one. Unplug for about 15 seconds & reconnect.

    If this does not work, contact Global technical support and ask them to check your connection.

  • Outlook Express 6 problem: send an email I get an error message and the email is not put in the sent items folder

    Outlook Express 6, Windows XP SP 3

    Problem: send an email, I get an error message and the email is not put in the sent items folder while the email (and attachments, if any) are successfully delivered to the recipient.

    The full error message is always useful, but I'm sure you have damaged dbx files.

    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.

  • folder within outlook 2007 has mail but is not visible. It can be searched, but no visible new mail goes into the folder but cannot be seen.

    I use outlook 2007. I have a subfolder in my Inbox. It shows that I have mail in the folder, but I can't. He has worked in the past very well, and then all of a sudden I can't see mail read or unread folder. I see that mail is unread in the folder and I can look in that folder and find results but I can't see what is in this folder. Other subfolders work very well.

    I fixed the problem for the co-worker. I checked to see if there is a filter applied and it didn't say in the banner, but he had a applied. You know not why the banner in the right pane showed no filter has been applied, but in any case, I removed the filter. To remove the filter highlight the subfolder. I then went in the view menu, click current view. Click Customize current view. Click Filter and then press all clear and mail again became visible

  • Windows Mail works, but I have two error messages: can you please help?

    "Account: 'Windows Mail', server: POP.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, server Respons', Port 995, secure (SSL)", Yes. " Error number ' 00x800CC18. Also "the connection to the server has failed.  Account: 'pop.charter.net', server: 'pop.charter.net', Protocole3, Port 110, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 10060, error number: 0x800CCOE

    If the AT & T account is closed, go to tools | Accounts and remove the account completely. Send a test message and see if it works. If it is not the case, there should be an error relating to the Charter, and it probably means that there is just a mistake in the account settings.

    I noticed that many people have the same problem with my computer when their computer/laptop has an AMD/ATI video card. Here's all I did and I got now work stations facing up and running for a week without any apparent problem

    1 back up your Virtual Machines a safe place and uninstall the workstation

    2 uninstall the AMD/ATI drivers

    3 reinstall the drivers

    4 reinstall the workstation

    5 follow the instructions below exactly to make a registry change

    a. Open regedit.exe and backup the registry, if you don't know how just google it is incredibly easy to make and the instructions are abundant so I don't post them here.

    b. open Notepad and enter the following text, make sure it is correct that the registry change can be risky, but if you enter the text exactly as it is below, you shouldn't have any problems because I have none. I take no responsibility if you have errors after this regedit so do at your own risk. Be sure and enter all the notebook INSTRUCTIONS below. DO NOT WRITE THE INSTRUCTIONS IN NOTEPAD IN YOUR NOTEPAD FILE. Everything below.

    NOTEBOOK INSTRUCTIONS

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\DCI]

    "Timeout" = dword:00000014

    TdrDdiDelay "= dword:00000014".

    "TdrDelay" = dword:00000014

    "TdrLevel" = dword:000000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]

    TdrDdiDelay "= dword:00000014".

    TdrDelay "= dword:00000014".

    TdrLevel "= dword:000000".

    END NOTEBOOK INSTRUCTIONS

    c. then navigate to the file and click on Save AS, when you arrive at the location you want to save the file, click the type box and change text to all documents, and then name the file regardless of your choice and add the .reg at the end. Once you have saved the file to its location and double click it to open it, windows will ask if you want to merge with the registry click Yes, windows will be also alert you on editing the registry and if you don't know that you want to try it go ahead and do it. So far, it has worked great for me.

    For more information about editing the registry, I used click here
