Backup Of Outlook Express Attachments
May 10, 2008
Windows XP Home Edition, Outlook Express 6, I am backing up to CD the accounts and addressbook using "Export" and .dbx folders by file copy as advised in many places. However, I don't think I am backing up the attachments, By opening an attachment and asking to save it, I found its location to be Documents and Settings/Username/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5 (32 subfolders) so I suspect the attachments are not also stored in the .dbx folders. IE5 folders are very large and contain other stuff like historical webpages. I have searched and searched but nowhere found any mention of attachment backup. I thought of using Tools/Internet Options/Clear History to try to reduce these subfolders down to attachments only, which I could then back up to CD, but will the attachments get cleared down too

I have Windows XP Prof with SP2 and use Outlook express 6 - However sometimes when people send attachments I cannot see them with the email even though the email size is showing a file larger than just text- I am assuming the attachment is there how I can see and open the attachments

Some but not all attachments sent to me with Outlook Express emails don't arrive in my In Box. When I ask the sender to repeat but use my GoogleMail account, the attachments arrive fine. I'm using a vanilla IBM Thinkpad R52 running Windows XP as supplied and fairly ordinary applications. I thought it might be my virus software (I was using Super AntiSpyware which is quite aggressive) but I've deleted this and all other anti virus ware and the problem persists

This PC in the office, has Outlook Express installed & set up. Here's the thing - on the Inbox view it shows almost every email as having attachments, has the little paperclip icon next to the sender's name and all. However, on only three or four of those emails are the attachments available - on the rest that show attachments in the folder view, nothing is shown when opened, and the 'save attachments' option in the File menu is greyed out - not available. Basically, to OE the attachment simply does not exist beyond the icon in the folder view

I have received some emails and they are supposed to have a jpeg Image attached. What is actually attached is a long text file, The initial part of this text message .Is all the Email Properties, including a couple of previous forwards followed by what looks like the character encoding that should be the jpeg Image. The sender is having the same problem with other recipients.

nearly all my email in Outlook Express in Win 2k comes with the attachment paper clip icon, even tho most of the email has no attachment. Needless to say, I'm a little nervous about attachments anyhow and am reluctant to open email from people I know. I have my provider's Earthlink spam filter on and am using AVG's email scanner

When I attempt to open an attachment in outlook express, I get the pop up box "do you want to open this file" but when I click open instead of doing so, it opens another window to save as but will not let me open the attachment. I'm running Windows XP V2002 SP3. Even when I go straight to my documents from the home screen and try to open any attachment previously saved I get the same "save as" box but am still unable to open anything

I have Windows XP Home operating and use Microsoft Office 2000. Under Internet Options I have selected Outlook Express for my email service and this has been working satisfactorily for over 2 years. Recently when choosing to send a photo file as an email attachment, I get directed to Microsoft Outlook which has no "send" option. Two other users on my computer have no problems and automatically get Outlook Express for the same procedure. Why doesn't Outlook Express come up for me?

One of the most important things to create backup copies of, is your email messages. Here's a short guide on how to do this if you use the Outlook Express mail client. Copy the following folder: C:Documents and SettingsusernameLocal SettingsApplication DataIdentities{long sequence of numbers and letters}MicrosoftOutlook Express to a backup location (blank CD, Zip disk, backup HD, etc.). To import the email back into OE: 1) Open Outlook Express 2) Click File - Import - Messages 3) Highlight Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and click Next 4) Choose Import mail from an OE6 store directory, and click OK 5) Browse to the location (folder) where you backed up your email and click OK. That's it. You've now imported all your old emails. This is especially useful for clean installs of your operating system, or moving emails to a different machine.

I have a user who cannot open DOC attachments in Outlook 2003. When she tries to open the attachment, it attempts to open the file in Excel. When she opens a doc file stored on the hard drive, it opens correctly, so I know it isn't a Windows file type association issue.

I have an AT&T mail account and they recently paired with Yahoo on their homepage. My Outlook Express in Windows XP worked with my account fine for years until yesterday. I had to change the names of the servers to: pop.att.yahoo.com and smtp.att.yahoo.com. The port settings are the same 465 and 995. Also, my password is the same. The problem is when I try to receive or send mail, Outlook Express repeatedly asks me to enter my username and password for the servers. The password box is checked on the logon box that comes up repeatedly but not highlighted. What am I overlooking?
