All Outlook Express email lost with IOS upgrade

I upgraded iTunes to the latest version and upgraded IOS from 4 to 6. Now Pocket Earth maps works on my iPod, but my Outlook Express email on my PC has been completely destroyed. All my emails and contacts are gone!!! What can I do? Is there a solution other than trying to restore my PC to an earlier date and forgetting about the maps for my iPod. (They aren't that useful anyway.) Please help me if you can.

Thanks, but I was able to get all my email data back. I took my PC to Office Depot and their computer guy said it was a user profile error. He changed my identity back to main identity in Outlook Express and that fixed my problem. It cost me $30 but at least it's fixed.

All files and more lost with software upgrade

hello
my in-laws called me in a panic yesterday. they used the software upgrade to install 10.5.2 and could not find their entourage mail program anymore, it was gone, so were all the files in their document folder. i connected through ichat to their computer (had to set up the accounts again, as the old ones were lost) and yes, it is all gone, though documents they saved in the applications folder are still there.
i called tech support for them and was told that programs that are left open during installation will be deleted. isn't it impossible to continue installation until programs are quit? why would all their files be gone from the document folder? also gone were their ichat ids and safari bookmarks. it felt like an erase and install but all they did was the software install which i assume is a default installation?
no, no back ups for them. they just recently acquired this computer on our recommendation that they would have less trouble with a mac than a pc with vista. but now this.
they will be talking with tech support soon, but i have little faith in them, so i am asking here. what could have happened?
thanks,
marianna

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
One thing which may have happened is this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854
However, this is an important lesson for everyone. It is not a question of if data will be lost, but when.
See my FAQ* on backing up as to other possible recovery strategies, and make sure everyone knows never, ever install an update without backing up first. Regardless of the cause, data will eventually get lost, and updates are often the most frequent events where they happen as they change the system much like changing the guts of an automobile.

How can I sync Outlook Express email with Nokia 58...

Hello -
I'd like to know if/how I can sync my works outlook express emails with my nokia 5800? Not via a web browser but setting up the sync in the messages area. All the sites/manuals I've searched are too vague and don't seem to offer any explanations on what I need to do specifically for outlook.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks

In general you don't sync with a mail client's local message store (such as the Outlook Express message store on your Work PC). You generally sync to a mail server.
So what you can do is find out which server your Outlook Express mail client is configured for on your PC, and then use the same server settings on your Nokia Phone.
For further questions, you may want search in, and post to the Mail, Messaging & Browsing discussion forum.

Hi.
Does this laptop come with Windows 7 by any chance ?
Outlook Express has been replaced with Windows Mail, and is pretty much very similar in use. Indeed there is even an enhanced version called Windows Live Mail. See :-
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Where-is-Outlook-Express
Depending on if you wish to stick with what you know, there are other mail clients worth thinking about - e.g. Thunderbird

No no no... you are not receiving email from Outlook express. It doesn't work that way.
Try this... Blackberry's Email Account Validation Tool.

Outlook Express corrupted, Lost Folders

My outlook Express prefs file (probably) got corrupted, giving error "End of File Reached". I looked at the Messages file and it had expanded to 241MB. The procedure to rebuild the prefs file creates a new EMPTY messages file and relabelling the old one. I saved the old messages file to my desktop and put a Lock on it. Is there any way to recover items from that file. I tried moving the file back into the Identity, but it is not recognized. 100 pictures and 200 JOKES are at stake here!
Thanx
Roodle

My situation is a little more complicated thaan the referenced item. I did the "compact" operation and allocated more file space. Then each message that came up had garbage in the message body - instead of the message. So I experimented. I set up an Entourage account and tried resending the items to that account (to myself). The garbage travelled along. So... I tried to send multiples at a time to Entourage. It worked (for a while). The messages came over intact. I thought I had cracked the code, until about 40 items were transferrred. OE got another "end of file reached". The messages file in the OE identity had expanded from just under 100MB to 241MB. I saved that file to the desktop with lock, moved the original messages file back into the identity along with it's associated prefs file and tried again. This time it expanded to 602MB. This is where I am right now.
I believe the data is still there, but index pointers have somehow gotten corrupted, causing the message file to fill with garbage. I recognized some of the garbage as software product names from my hard drive. Yikes!

Why will links in Outlook Express emails no longer open a tab in Firefox?

Before firefox update, when I clicked a web link in an Outlook Express email, Firefox would automatically open and go to the correct website. This no longer happens. Where do I change the settings?

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+the+e-mail+program+used+by+Firefox
You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.<br />
If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.<br />
You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true.<br />

This can also be a problem with the mimeTypes.rdf file.

How do I transfer my Outlook Express emails (dvx files) to a program on my iMac?

I have my old Outlook Express emails on a flash drive in hidden files (dbx) and would like to at least be able to read those files. I have Thunderbird on new Mac as well as apple Mail. I do not have Outlook. Is there a way I can convert the dbx files to .mbox files? Or at least be able to read the dbx files or transfer into THunderbird? I have googled this until I am crazy.

Actually those .DBX files are just Text files that can be opened with any Text Editor like Text Edit app.
Not sure about how to get them into Thunderbird. The place to ask that would be over at the Mozilla Thunderbird support forum.

Typically the manufacturer does not give you all the options on a Mac than on a PC. That is up to the manufacturer who writes the drivers for the printers

How can I recover all my MAIL emails lost after upgrading to TIGER?

Hello,
I just bought Mac OSX Tiger today and after upgrading from the previous Mac OSX and after launching Mail, I discovered that all my INBOX emails were LOST!!!
I still have the Draft emails, the Sent emails and Trash but no trace of my 1,425 ancient and precious INBOX emails!
Please help me recover them. I tried lots of ways to get them back but cannot find them. I'd like to also understand what happened.
Thank you!
iBookG4

HI Greta, Did you Clean Install Tiger, or Upgrade from a previous OS? as if the latter, you might find them in the ARchived files.
I upgraded to Tiger in December and it caused problems with mail but I didnt lose the messages. So I am thinking you did a clean install.
Post back with more info please

I've lost my outlook express email - the bar is there - but nothing else - am not able to figure out how to restore or fix - HELP

I WAS DELETING ALL MY EMAILS FROM OUTLOOK EXPRESS. I DID SOMETHING WRONG (I THINK I MIGHT HAVE HIT SMART MAILBOX OR SOMETHING TO THAT AFFECT) AND NOW I ONLY HAVE THE BAR AT THE TOP - NOTHING ELSE - DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX OR RESTORE. NOT VERY TECH SAVY SO ANY HELP IN TERMS I CAN UNDERSTAND WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. EMAIL ACCOUNT IS STILL GOOD - I CAN ACCESS IT ON LAPTOP - NO PROBLEM

The bar at the top does not have any colors.
I have the apple icon, Mail (in the mail tab I have everything but Quit Mail & Show All)
File (Only 2 items highlighted - Close all Windows & Add RSS Feeds)
Edit (Attachments, Find, Spelling & Grammarr, Substitutions, Tranformations, Speech & Special Characters - rest are un-usable)
View (Message Attributes, Sort by, Selec & Message)
Mailbox (Take All Accounts Offline, Synchronize Account, Online Status, Get New Mail, Erase Deleted Items, new Mailbox, New Smart Mailbox, New Smart Mailbox Folder, Go To Favori9te Mailbox, Move to Fav Mailbox, Use this Mailbox for)
Message(Mark, Flag & Text coding)
Format (everything but Make Rick Text)
Window (everything but Minimize & zoom)
Help (normal)
Most of the tabs that are highlighted with the arrow pointing to an additional screen have items that are not highlighted s0 are un-usable.
As an example - the Quit mail command is not usable so the mail is continually running - problem is I can't see it - bar is at the top - screensaver fills the rest.
