• The upgrade to Windows 7 using Outlook Express for email

  I am currently using Windows XP pro, and considering the purchase of a new PC which has Windows 7 installed. I use Outlook Express as my email program. What would be the procedure to "migrate" my address book and outgoing emails from Outlook EXpress in Windows 7.

  Thanks for any help - local retailers just say it may be possible, but not sure about the process.

  Windows 7 doesn't have a native email client integrated as previous versions of Windows, so you can decide what email client you use first.

  The following versions of Microsoft Outlook are fully supported on Windows 7;

  • Outlook 2003
  • Outlook 2007

  I have Windows XP Home Edition and use Outlook Express for my e-mail. Is there a way to copy/send e-mail, favorite contacts and my photos on a Flash key?

  Open the address book in the old identity and file | Export | Address book (wab) to any location on your HARD drive that is easy for you. The office is very well. Then drag that to the flash drive.

  In IE: File | Import and export | Export to a file. Check Favorites | Next | Next | Navigate to a folder or the desktop and export. Drag the folder in the flash player.

  For photos, just right-click on the folder and drag it to the USB and copy here.

• How to stop offering to compact my files, Outlook Express? I use Outlook as my email client.

  Whenever I restart my computer, Outlook Express offers compact my files. How to make it in mind that it is the own business. I use Outlook as my email client.

  Hi jpboyt,

  I suggest you try the steps suggested by Steve Winograd, of the following link and check if this can help:

  To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article: How to back up and restore the registry in Windows XP

  I hope this helps.

• I use OUtlook Express for e-mail. Night that suddenly disappeared from the value of a full year of emails - for example from October 2011 to the today October 2012. How can I get back them?

  I have been using Outlook Express 6 for more than 20 years without a single problem so far. Value of a full year of emails has disappeared all of a sudden my box but all e-mail messages seem to be always in place of my sent folder.

  How can I recover these e-mails Inbox?

  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? :
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
   
  Why mail disappears:
  http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
   
  Recovery methods:
   
  If you are running XP/SP3, 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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
   
  And backup often.

• Window Live Mail 2011 bounce an email msg

  

  I got an email that I am trying to answer.  Multiple recipients, but only 3 ppl.  When I answer all the email, it gets bounced.  I tried replying to the email with 1 single recipient (tried all the recipients 1 by 1), e-mail gets bounced.

  However, when I create a new message (do not answer email msg) e-mail and send it to the ppl 3 same, it goes through OK.  WTF?

  Not knowing about false - this is a personal email, shippers are friends of my friends (theyre all on my contact list)-we were just setting up a date to meet for lunch is all.

  I recently had a hard drive crash, so I reinstalled Vista and got the new WLM 2011, however, before, using my old WLM I could reply to this thread.  Maybe there is a problem of formatting or HTML in this e-mail that bounces of WLM?

  EDIT: HOW IS it for REALLY WEIRD - I JUST TRIED REPLYING to this MESSAGE, BUT passed OVER in THE SUBJECT LINE OF the email RE: something that I have WRITTEN AND the EMAIL went THROUGH...

• How can I install and use outlook express as email scanned by default on windows xp?

  I scanned an article on Brother MFC-J270W and tried to send the article by e-mail. Blurb came "I want to make Outlook Express my dfault". I clicked Yes. Then an error message came up with error 0x800CCC0D # and I couldn't e-mail my digitized item. Help, please.

  You can not make OE your email client by default if you are not using OE. You can do the following and start using OE, but why don't you just save the scan to a Windows folder and then start a new message from Hotmail and fix it? Using OE with Hotmail is a chore, if you're not used to it.

  If you have created a new e-mail address and password, why don't you know the password?

  What is a POP3 account? The password will be the same as the one you use on your Webmail site.

  Right click on the desktop | New | Shortcut. Go to the * c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe *. Click next | Click Finish.  It will be a new shortcut on the desktop.

• Need to transfer e-mail contact from Windows XP to Windows 7 using Outlook Live Mail 2013

  Original title: updated my Windows computer 2002 for Windows 7

  As a 78, I'm not really upward on computer jargon. So, if there is someone out there willing to help me I would be grateful elementary English wash.

  I just bought two computers and a tech install Windows 7 instead of Windows 8, because I was told that I have more than enough bad Windows 7.
  In any case, I need to transfer my contacts list of e-mail from your old computer (Windows XP) to my new. I think I'm supposed to locate the *.pst files, which I did and they downloaded onto a flash drive. At this point, I read some internet explanation telling me to look for my user account folder where the folder My Documents OR click on %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto in the address bar. NONE OF THESE AREAS APPEAR FOR ME!
  I have Outlook Live Mail which I believe is 2013. I know that XP is long forgotten and I'm desperately hoping that someone will propose solutions to this.
  Help, please!
  Thanks, in advance

  Hey Sanford,

  Even if you don't usually see a hidden file, it's one regular file in all other respects. You can choose whether a file is hidden or visible by changing its properties.

  To activate the App data folder that remains hidden, check the operations from the link mentioned below on how to display it.

  Show hidden files (Windows 7)

  Given that the issue is to transfer contacts from e-mail in Outlook Live Mail 2013. I recommend you to send the query in the link mentioned below for assistance.

• Windows Live Mail/Outlook Express for Windows XP 64-bit?

  On my work machine, I was just upgraded from Windows XP 32 bit to 64 bit. Only now I find that Windows Live Essentials 2011 is not compatible with XP 64-bit. Is there any program I can use to access my Hotmail email on Windows XP 64-bit?
