Outlook Express Email - Couldnt Use Disk To Download Files
May 15, 2010
I have xp home edition operating system and My Outlook Express folder is tottally empty. When I tried to use my existing xp programe disk, I received the message that my current system was updated & couldn't use the disk to download the outlook files. Where do I find the updated outlook files? do I have to buy files I originally purchased?
I just got a new computer with WinXPHome. All works OK except I can not receive my email into OE 6, all email stays with AT&T's Webmail, which I do not want to use. My old Win98 computer has no problems with getting my email. The settings on both computers are the same. I have disabled NAV email scanning. I have no idea what to do. I like OE, and want to continue using it.
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 an email in my inbox that will not delete! I can't open it or anything. It is from a friend of mine, so I am almost positive it is not infected. I have adaware, spybot and avg all on my system updated and have ran scans--nothing found. I have tried to delete the email in front and behind it while all three are selected and it locks up oe. I have booted into safe mode to delete it--locks up oe. As soon as you click on the email it locks it up--will not even open it.
I use Outlook Express for e mail. Every now & then when I check e mail I get a message telling me that Outlook Express is not my e mail default, and do I want to make it my default. I check the box to do that, and its ok for awhile, maybe 2 weeks, then it does it again. Apparently something in the system keeps switching it. This has been happening intermittently since I bought my present computer about a year ago.
excuse my ignorance but is Outlook Express part of:
a) the operating system (in this case windows xp) b) microsoft office c) something else
I'm trying to set up a new computer for a charity, just one problem they did not back up their email addresses and emails on outlook express from their last machine (which failed) so what do we do to restore everything? just wondered if anyone knew WHERE on the hard drive does outlook express store its emails and email addresses?
I can send and receive email without any problems, also photos and PowerPoint slide shows. But I receive some email that contains text which I can read but in the same email is a photo etc but where the photo is, there is a box with a red x in it which doesn't open.I am using XP home edition.
He goes into his INBOX and reads his emails. He does not delete the emails he has read and then he signs off. When he goes back into OE the read emails are now in his DELETED folder. I have checked the settings and cannot seem to find anything that he may have selected in error and cannot stop this from happening?
About a month ago my husband was having trouble sending emails. I would sometimes, but it would eventually work for me, but still not for him. He told me he had heard about the email antivirus scanners and somehow they block outgoing mail. So I reinstalled our Grisoft AVG antivirus without the email scanner. Now we can not send any attachments at all. Pictures, documents, nothing. I since reinstalled the email scanner since when trying to send I would get the message that a virus was attached. It still happens. It kicks it back along with about 50 messages telling why. Looks something like this..........
Windows XP Pro - SP2 most of the critical update - auto update) NAV 2005, Adaware SE, Spybot SD, Spywareblaster - all with the latest updates. Scan with all of the above + with online Housecall, found no pest or virus. Problem: When I forwarding an email (with or without attachment), the email arrived in receipient pc with only part of the email message and no attachment.
I have XP and Use Outlook Express. I cannot open any links I am sent in emails. I get a blank screen when I try. I saw a similar question in this forum from tony 007 and went to the link he received as an answer from Tufnuf. I ran all the .dll suggestions and I still have the problem.
XP Pro - SP2 - Outlook Express Sometime ago - some strange force compelled me to uncheck the box that says "Always ask before opening this file" for a PPT attachment. Now PPT attachments automatically open without the Warning Dialog Box. I have gone into Folder Options/File Types/Advanced/Confirm - made sure that the box is checked. Still doesn't matter. I have tried to attack this several ways - still no go. How do I get the dialog warning box back?
I get the Outlook Express has stopped working and needs to shut down" pop up when I click on one specific email. It is from a trusted source so I know it is not virus related. I can not delete the email because as soon as I click on it, it stops working and shuts down.I did the error reporting but don't know what to do now. I need to delete the one email.
I use Outlook Express 6.0 for the majority of my e-mail. I also have 2 other e-mail accounts. Is there any way I could see if I have any e-mail on these 2 when I open Outlook Express 6.0?
Using Windows XP Home and Outlook Express I have thousands of messages in OE in various folders that I would like to save in my gmail folders (Google mail acct).Is there anyway I can tranfer a whole folder of messages to my gmail address. Or if not an entire folder at least 20 or so messages at a time?
Windows XP totally up to date. I think. When I open Outlook Express {email} I keep getting messages that "Outlook Express has encountered a problem and needs to close".....and it does close when I click on send error report. At times when it does work for awhile, when I click to delete a email, that email won't show as deleted from inbox, but when I then go to the deleted folder it shows up there....checking back at the inbox the email is now gone from the inbox.
I'm running Outlook Express on Windows XP Professional. When I send an email the message is sent with an undisplayed warning and the message remains in the Outbox after it has been sent resulting in it being continually resent until I manually delete it from the Outbox. A copy of the message is not saved to the Sent Folder even though the option is checked.I have run Nortons Utilities - and other utilities - and cleaned up Windows Registry and other Windows Errors - to fix my problem (without success). Is my Outbox damaged? Do I have to restore Outlook Express?
The error message reads as follows; Host POP1 couldn't be found. Verify Server,POP3 server,POP1 Protocol SMTP port 25 secure(ssl) no, socket error 11001, Error #0X800CCCOD
I need help getting my outlook express running correctly. I can''t recieve or send e-mail. errors keep popping up.
I inadvertly deleted my Outlook Express e-mail with all contacts and saved e-mails. I really prefer OX to all other e-mail providers and would like to get it back.I have looked at the MS web site but cannot find a "download" button to push.
I'm trying to take a shortcut in Outlook Express using it's mail modification security feature to filter out spam emails. I would like to be able to copy and paste all of my "spam rules" from my computer onto the system of other family members using a USB storage device. This would end up saving considerable time by avoiding the input of over 150 words (this amount is always growing), one at a time, into each computers OE mail modification security feature. I've look in the WINOWS folder and can't find where the OE files are all kept, and specifically, the spam rules. I've been to the OE folder before but can't remember for the life of me what the address is.
i close down outlook express 6 and this stupid dialog box pops up saying "to free up disk space outlook express can compact messages, this may take a few minutes" i click cancel, but everytime i open it,it happenes again.if anyone knows how i can get rid of this message, please reply to my post
Old system had many .dbx files but zero .pst files - no export/backup had ever been done on it. Tried to copy over the .dbx files, and appeared to work, but then somehow outlook clobbered old and copied .dbx files, or rendered them invisible.
I have powerpoint viewer 2003 which will open .pps and .ppt files on my hard-drive, but will not open them as e-mail attachments received in OE6. This is very inconvenient, and I want to remedy the problem. I do not have MS office 2003, but the stand-alone MS powerpoint viewer 2003. I am using WinXP Media Center Edition, version 2002, with SP2 installed.
I have ended up with DBX files on"Windows XP service pack 3"but cannot read them or change them. Is there a way to save them elsewhere on my hard drive
when Outlook Express removed all my attached files in my email by claiming that the attachments were unsafe. May I know how to stop Outlook Express from doing so in order that I can read the attached files
I have had a slightly annoying problem with Outlook Express which I use as my default mail client. Everything seems to work fine apart from when I try to open PDF files directly from OE, it tries to open them with notepad, which obviously doesn't work. I can save them anywhere else on my computer, my documents for example, and opening them from there works fine. I have the latest Adobe Reader. I can't find anyway to tell OE to open these attachments using Adobe Reader.
