I lost mail Outlook Express 5

please help me. yesterday there was some mistake and I lost all emails from outlook express 5. can be because of a system recovery point? I did kickback
of system since the system is a bit buggy. I am asking if you can help me! I don't know what to do. all emails are very important. Pleaseee( 

Go to the directory where is lie the database of outlook express 5 and look at their size. Perhaps there was a compression of bases and there was a failure.
Note the files with the file extension dbt or bak. If they weigh a lot, it means that the mail has been preserved. Rename the dbt file to dbx. Base lying here
Documents And Settings\$user\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\type {C2CA6003-39F5-43A0-80BA-A61F26C35534}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
But to get there via Windows Explorer you need to enable showing hidden folders. My computer - the top menu Tools - folder options - View Tab - there to
tick Show hidden and system folders. there also to tick (if no) - Show file extensions. 
If in this way not be able to recover emails, then you have to use
Address Book Restore Toolbox. By means of this utility you precisely will be able quickly to restore the letters.

Here you can read additional recommendations about restoration of .dbx of files.

  • Leopard Mail & Outlook Express 6.0

    For all of you struggling to get your mail clients to connect via POP to your standard Leopard Mail Installation - here's what I found.
    They don't work well together...
    I found that everything works great with the same configuration settings with the Thunderbird mail client. I suspect that Outlook Express just finally fell off the usability wagon...
    Cheers,
    Scott

    It takes some extra doing to get a standards-compliant mailserver like Postfix to accept non standards-compliant Windows mail software.
    However, if you mean 6.0 then you're talking XP pre- SP2 which you shouldn't be using at this point.
    Setup an alternate ("submission") port in /etc/postfix/master.cf
    This will enable ssl but not require it. Personally I *do NOT* recommend making this port available outside your firewall, - but you may need to - proceed at your own risk.
    Then set the client to use this port (587)
    587 inet n - n - - smtpd
    -o smtpdclientrestrictions=
    -o smtpdrecipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauthdestination,reject
    -o smtpdusetls=yes
    -o smtpdenforcetls=no
    -o content_filter=

  • 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.

  • Sync e-mail outlook express

    After spending a number of fruitless hours I'm concluding there is no such thing as iTouch doing a viable e-mail sync with Outlook Express. I should be able to pick up and send emails for a given e-mail account from my iTouch and my laptop, perform a sync, and then end up with the inboxes for that e-mail account looking the same on both devices -- Right?? But that is not what I'm seeing. I'm still trying to figure out what, if anything is happening but am a too frustrated. Hopefully there is some one who can shed some light. I need to take an asprin now ):
    Thank you.

    I'm looking for a way to have all the emails I've sent/received via my iTouch, for a particular email account, copied over to my laptop and then have all the activity for that same email which is send/received via my laptop, copied over to my iTouch. That way all the activity for that one email acount will be on both the iTouch and the Laptop. And I can use the laptop e-mail client to archive all the email activity for that account.
    Do I need to use another e-mail client on my Windows laptop which is better supported by an iTouch sync? Or perhaps I am forced to by a subscription to MobileMe??

  • Mac mail & Outlook express COmpatibility?

    G'day,
    I'm sending family emails with photos attached from my mac to their PC. THey're using outlook express on XP. They get the photos fine but they can't save them. It tells them the file is transparent?
    I'm figuring it's a PC problem because we all know there's nothing wrong with Mac. But I was hoping someone knows what's going on here, especially if the fault is actually on my end.
    Cheers, John

    John,
    If you are sending with Rich Text Format, and if because of more than one font being used (such as might result from some Signatures) try testing using only Plain Text. When only one font is used, Mail converts it to Plain Text when sending attachments, but cannot do so if two or more fonts are being used, even if the same font, but different size or color. In the latter case, the RTF gets converted to some poor HTML. You can see the difference when examining any message you send in Raw Source.

  • How do I put an icon for Outlook Express on the home page????

    Having just moved into FF 3.6.1 from IE8, I am use to having an icon for the mail (outlook express) on the home page. I set outlook up in 'Options';'Applications';'mailto' as default, however, how do I set up an icon on the home page that will enable me to read my mail.

    GetMail extension adds that feature to Firefox. <br />

  • Lost outlook express mail boxes and failed transfe...

    I have just joined BT from orange (I had a wanadoo email address).  I've lost the previous contents of OE mail boxes. Any ideas how I might recover. Also followed the instructions for transferring contacts and got message 'cannot read file' or words to that effect. Help please?

    1. If you are lucky your old OE files may still be in the recycle bin on your C: drive so look there first.
    I suspect you used the BT disk or similar to setup access to BT and it may have screwed up your existing settings.
    If they are there I can tell you how to restore them.
    If they are not there look at
    c:\documents and settings \{your username on PC}\local settings\Application Data\Identities\{ an identifier}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
    where the bits in {} are unique to your machine.
    You should find a file for each of your email folders.
    Let us know how big the Inbox.dbx file is and any other Inbox.xxx file.
    2. Waste of time.
    3. I strongly recommend that you use Outlook Express to get your emails from BTYahoo. If you want help here let me know. Note that you can still use OE to get emails from your old provider.

  • From Tiger to Leopard: outlook express "lost"

    I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. When I click on Outlook Express Mail, it won't work.
    Are all my thousands of old emails lost forever?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to *Apple Discussions*!
    Outlook Express Mail is not a Mac application. Therefore:
    a. You were using Outlook Web Access (OWA) through the web, in which case the alias is broken
    b. You had an alias to a virtual application running within Windows. You may need to check your application such as Parallales, Microsoft Virtual PC, or VMWare Fusion

  • Recently installed parallels on my iMac and created email account in outlook express where all my emails now are but have gone from my mail on the mac

    I have recently installed parallels on my Macbook and created my existing email account within outlook express which has all emails but by doing this it has removed all emails from Mail on the Macbook. I don't won't to delete from outlook then find I have lost them forever. I'm just trying to find out how I can get them back to their original place in Mail.
    Any help would be great.

    Hello,
    If has more than one account, the Inbox icon, for example, should have a black triangle if the accounts have been correctly added via the assistant. If that triangle is pointing sideways, then he clicks on it, it should turn downward, and reveal the Inbox for each account. If he does not have but the one account, then the Inbox should be that of the AOL account. Same with Sent Drafts, etc.
    If the triangle beside Inbox reveals other folders such as Sent Items, click to open that, and then click Mailbox in the menubar, place cursor on Use this Mailbox for and choose Sent.
    AOL is IMAP access, so can be tricky. The folders under AOL lower in the Sidebar are for other archiving. AOL only allows messages to stay in the Inbox and Sent folder for 27 days, and then you must Move the messages to the Saved folder to keep longer on the server. Of course, various On My Mac mailboxes can be created to save messages, and those will be on the hard drive of his Mac.
    In Mail 2.x and OS 10.4.10 there is no longer a separator for On My Mac in the Sidebar, but is with 10.3.x and Mail 1.3.x
    This may or may not be such a good idea to have switched him without being in front of his computer to provide some instruction

  • Downloads to Outlook Express mail from Google now (since Mozilla update) incomplete. ¿A Mozilla problem?

    For years, download to Outlook Express of mail in three Gmail accounts worked fine.
    New problem, not all of the mail at Google gets to Outlook, and what's missing disappears.
    This problem appeared after recent Firefox update. Is this a possible cause?
    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium

    It an Outlook Express thing Firefox has nothing to do with it. But after saying that, if you view your mail with a browser and then open Outlook Express, it will not see it as new mail and leave it on the server.
    Also OE is really limited you should use Thunderbird mail
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
    or something else.

  • I need to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs and I either don't have it but when I try to send an e-mail on Outlook Express, it won't go through and gives me an error report.....I really need to be able to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs. Help!

    When I try to apply for job and when I try to e-mail my resume' and Outlook Express comes up to reply to on, I put in my information, etc but when I hit send, it doesn't go through and says? POP and then error report and doesn't go through.

    I can't provide a solution with or without the error message, but without an error message, you are making everyone guess at what you see. I have no idea what you see, and I think someone who might be able to help you solve your problem would need to know what that message says. Is "Outlook Express" (Windows Live Mail) your default email processor, if not what is?

  • How can I read my incoming emails in one folder?Like I do in Live mail and Outlook express.

    Now we can only read emails in different folders if I am managing multiple email accounts.
    It does not feel so comfortable as we use Live mail and Outlook express.

    '''Unified Inbox for pop and Imap mail accounts:'''
    If you use the Unified folder view, this will show an Inbox with all emails from all accounts, with sub folder Inboxes for the individual Inboxes for the various accounts. Then you can choose to view the collective Inbox or the individual Inbox.
    This method can be chosen simply and quickly.
    * View > folders > Unified
    '''Setting up Pop mail accounts to use Global Inbox.'''
    Pop mail accounts can be set up to use a Global Inbox in Local Folders.
    Imap mail accounts cannot be set up to use Global Inbox, but can use the Unified view.
    To change Pop mail accounts to use Global Inbox, you would need to move all emails into Local Folders Inbox.
    Then change the settings for each pop mail account.
    Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the pop mail account
    click on 'Advanced' button
    select 'Inbox for a different account' and 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)
    click on OK
    You need to do this for each Pop mail account.
    Then close Thunderbird. You must do this before downloading anything otherwise the emails may continue to go to the wrong Inbox.
    Wait a few moments for Thunderbird to fully close and then restart Thunderbird.

  • How do I use Safari or Outlook Express for e-mail?

    I have Mac OS 10.3.5 and Safari. I am going to switch my ISP with AOL dial-up to a DSL company possibly with Yahoo. I have never used Outlook Express. Now, I want to use either Safari or Outllok Express 5.0 for my e-mail. I want to save all the e-mail in my compter. Which program can work better for me? How do I start to set up e-mail?
    Thank you very much in advance for your advice and instruction.
    Robert

    Safari does not do email (except if it is web email which all browsers can do.) Outlook Express only works with OS 9, there is no OS X version. OS X comes with a dedicated email application called Mail. You will find it in your Applications folder.
    If you open the Mail application and select Mail Help from the Help menu you will find all the information on how to configure Mail for your email needs.
