Outlook Express 5.0.6 problem

I use this version on my G5 desktop and G3 laptop. The laptop is for trips. When I get home, I use a USB memory stick to carry messages received during the trip to my G5. This worked well for me for years when my desktop was a G4 using OS9. But it doesn't work w/ the G5 using Panther and the Classic environment. It does not recognize the messages as Outlook Express, instead uses another application that opens them but not as e-mail. If I force the G5 to use Outlook Express to open the message, the message is blank.
I need to save these messages in the appropriate Outlook Express folders I have set up and used for years. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated!
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi, rays -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
First, increase the Preferred memory allocation for Outlook Express if you have not already done so. Adding 20 or 30 thousand, or even more, to the original Preferred amount is not excessive.
Article #18278 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
Then try compacting the databases (the email and other archives OE uses). To do that, with OE not running, hold down the Option key and start up OE. A screen will appear asking if you want to compact the database files - click okay, and follow the prompts.

My old version of outlook express has several problems, will these be imported into a new thunderbird account

My old version of Outlook Express has gained several problems. It is time to change, will these errors be imported into a new Thunderbird account. I'm hoping that all would be well based on the belief that the two programmes are totally different.

You're not saying what problems you have with OE, so how should anyone guess?
There is no such thing as a 'Thunderbird account'. You do have an account with your email provider. You can use OE or Thunderbird to access that account.
But Thunderbird is not your email provider.

Outlook Express problem

I occasionally receive e-mail with Visio attachments that I KNOW are not harmful yet a message at the top of the e-mail says "OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: HSHA.vsd" What changes can I make to my outlook express to resolve this problem? My co-worker in the next office can open them, but on my computer, they are grayed out.

OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail
If receive this error with attachments in Outlook Express, here's how you fix it:
Outlook Express 6 has quite a few security enhancements that are good, but with some of the latest security patches OE has become so hyperactive with blocking everything that even having an attachment has become useless.
To view the attachments that Outlook Express has deemed "unsafe" do this:
Open Outlook Express
Click Tools->Options
Click the Security tab
Uncheck the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus box
Click OK.
If you're opening an executable, be absolutely sure that it's safe. I never open an exe unless I know exactly what it is, and was expecting it.

Outlook Express 6 (Win XP) 'Send/Receive' server p...

For the past few months 'Outlook Express 6' has been regularly reporting the following server communication errors when attempting to download messages from the mail server. (I download messages from two separate e-mail accounts)
The OE6 errors -
" o Message number 2 could not be retrieved. Account: 'X----- Account 1', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR inactivity timeout', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800420CD
o Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'Y----- Account 1', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F "
The errors usually appear after the initial start-up of Outlook Express or after the application has been dormant for some time. Generally, the first availbale e-mail message is downloaded and then the process halts and fails with the above errors reported. Subsequent 'Send/Receive' requests are usually successful but with duplicate copies of the first e-mail msg appearing in the Inbox.
I welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

Hello Keith,
Many thanks for sharing the search reasults for the 0x800CCC0F error.
I've now scanned through the responses, these generally indicate this error is a BT server side issue rather than an Outlook Express or Win XP problem. For me, this problem occurs regardless of e-mail msg quantity and/or email attachment size. My OE is configured to delete messages from the server after downloading them - so there is never a huge number of msgs to download throughtout the day - typically 1 to 4 per OE session.
Interesting to note that there's an increasing frequency of reponses reporting this problem within the past few months indicating an underlying 'problem' trend which isn't being fully resolved by BT Support.
I'm now experimenting with the Mozilla Thunderbird email app which so far doesn't report any issues when interacting with the BT mail server. However, I really would like to stick with Outlook Express and get back to reliable downloads from the mail server. As things were a few months ago.

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

or something else.

HUGE Outlook Express database problems!

I had a hard drive failure. The problem is that my Outlook Express Identities folder was stored there. I recovered the Identities folder using Data Rescue and I discovered that the file called "database" is truncated.
I can do a rebuild of the database but then all several thousand emails are missing. After some trial and error, I confirmed that it is the database file that is screwed.
I can use a backup file from 10 months ago but then the last 10 months of emails are missing.
Database - 70 MB
Database Cache - 20 KB
Messages - 750 MB
I think everything I want is in the larger Messages file even though I also see messages inside the Database file. (I'll never understand the MS programming philosophy)
Are there any Mac utilities that will extract the emails from these database files?
What about my damaged database file? Since it's truncated, is there anything I can splice to the end of it to fool Outlook Express into properly rebuilding it?
Can these be transferred to a PC and then repaired using one of the dozens of Winbloze utilities available for database repair and then converted back?? If so, how?
I'm stumped and I'm hoping anyone here can help.
Thank-you.

I never had a problem with OE, but it uses the same
MS programming philosophy as entourage, where I do
know you can't get out of a truncated databse…
Sorry, and if the automatic Rebuild routines won't
fix it, it's just gone.
Not quite...
I was able to recover about 99.9999% of the 28,000 "lost" emails using a neat little utility called "Emailchemy".
It scours nearly any email database file in almost any condition, pulls out the messages, and then saves them ALL to a generic mbox file that ANY email program can read. It also preserves the attachments!
FYI- For Outlook Express in OS 9, the file called "Database" contains all the outgoing emails and attachments. The file called "Messages" contains all the incoming emails and attachments.
I just ran Emailchemy on both of them and imported two mbox file into Entourage for OS X. That created two folders, each containing all the messages PLUS attachments from each of the two files.
In Entourage for OS X, ALL incoming and outgoing emails plus attachments are stored in the file called "Database". For this program, there's no such thing as "Messages" file.
So anyone reading this, DO NOT delete your corrupted Microsoft email database files, lock them, back them up, and do NOT give up hope. Even if you couldn't extract the information, you can still open the file in a text editor and see your messages inside (minus the attachments, of course). As horrific as this process may sound, at least you can search for something specific if needed.

Outlook Express and Ovi Suite syncing problems

Hi,
I just installed the Ovi Suite for my new N5230 phone.
I tested syncing contacts for the first time from Outlook Express to the phone and my account at Ovi.com via Ovi Suite. All went fine.
However, I undertook a major edit of all my Outlook Express contacts data (thankfully backing it up afterwards on my PC) but when I went to use the sync fucntion in Ovi Suite again I was not given an option of (a) whether to merge or replace or (b) where to start sync from if not a merge. Consequently my phone and Ovi.com contacts lists filled up with duplicates through a botched merge. Where a contact was deleted in Outlook Express no Sync Conflict message appeared to ask me if I wanted to delete the same entry in Ovi.
When I deleted all the contacts in Ovi Suite and tried to sync again my Outlook Express contacts list was deleted! Thankful for the backup before I started this waste of a Sunday afternoon.
So basically, is it the case that if I want to use Ovi Suite and Ovi.com for contacts then I have to use Ovi.com as the master list and not my contacts list in Outlook Express on my PC? If the software simply merges data all the time how the heck am I meant to delete a contact from all three storage areas?
Any advice appreciated.
Bill

Well for anyones information. Syncing with ovi suite.
I have successfully got ovi suite working.
For those with problems this is what I did. I have vista.
1. I uninstalled all programs from nokia.( ovi suite using the online uninstaller. Pc suite using the installed uninstall program.
then i ran pc suite cleaner.
2. using search for nokia then using advanced search for all nokia folders remaining (important to use advanced search or you will miss some of the folders and files. Then deleted them. Some you may have to change the user permissions to delete them. It is important to delete these as they hold data and i think might be one of the conflicts stopping sync working.
3. Delete any remaining files except bookmarks pics etc.
now there should be nothing on the pc.
Then download and run ccleaner. Cleaner and registry.
Reboot pc
Then download ovi suite.
A wizard might pop up but if not start ovi suite and connect your phone. I turned bluetooth off and used usb.
The phone will download settings. You can select pc suite on the sync settings in the phone. not ovi.com.
the program is good and worth the trouble. It saves your messages and contacts as well as syncing contacts and calendar with your required program, also bookmarks can be saved with firefox and explorer in your phone folder in favourites. It creates the folder. To transfer bookmarks from pc to phone ensure they are in this folder.
This took me a lot of reboots and time with a few calls to nokia and i am still waiting for their callback!!!
It also works fine on my xp computer too.

Problem with Outlook Express 5.0.6

I am using an iBook OS 9.2. Since moving to DSL I can receive e-mail but no longer send e-mail using Outlook Express 5. I have been instructed to download Outlook Express 5.0.6 from Mactopia to solve this problem. My download is complete but when I go to open it I get a message with a yellow alert saying "You do not have the appropriate privileges to use this file." Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance

Hi BDAqua:
I have all on a USB 2.0 portable drive: the entire user folder.
The computer has a previus user, from the former owner:
- "Powerbook" (this is the original user for me, I get the titanium with this user only)
- I create a new account: Pilar Ponce de León (pilarponcedeleon).
- Give to the new account administration privilleges.
- Trash all the content of the pilarponcedeleon folder on the computer, and put in that place teh content of the backed up user (also named pilarponcedeleon).
- Boot from the new user, and is done.
After a couple of day running only from pilarponcedeleon, I delete the "Powerbook" account.
Then I need to access the computer, adn can see it from ARD, but always shows the "Login Window" as the active application, and I have to go to the computer for teaching or seting up things... and with the old iBook, same user, everithing works fine, since I run from my computer, and solve any problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Pablo

Sub account problems with outlook express

I have a slight problem in that I use outlook express as my email software and have no problems receiving my emails but I have a sub account for my partner and I cannot receive her emails so if anybody can help I would be very greatfull.
I have only had this problem since I set up outlook on my new laptop and can still receive her emails on my old desktop but as I do not use it very often it is a pain to fire it up just to receive her emails.

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Do you receive any error messages when trying to receive the emails ?
If I may be frank, the fact that you can receive the emails on the old machine, and not the new one indicates a settings problem in the new machine (though other things can interfere).
Make sure that you have spelt the email address correctly, it is surprisingly easy to get a character wrong. Also make sure that you have got the correct server address mail.btinternet.com, and that you have the correct port number 25 - and not using any SSL (that is usually a tick box).
Please don't post any personal details on a reply (e.g. remove email address from any error message posted).

Problems syncing BB Curve 8330 with Outlook Express

Just got a new BB Curve 8330 and love the phone, but having problems syncing with Outlook Express 6.0. I am running Desktop Manager 4.5 (started with 4.7 and had same problem) and Windows XP SP3. I need to sync Addresses and Calendar. When I go to configure syncronization and select Calendar and Setup, I never see any option for Outlook Express or Outlook (only see ASCII and Yahoo). When I select Addresses and Setup, I do see and select Outlook Express. However, when I syncronize no addresses are moved across to the Curve.
Any ideas on how to get the Outlook Express options to appear on Calendar Sync or how to troubleshoot why the Address Syncronization doesn't work (i.e. is there a log file that might have errors I could look up?) If necessary, I also have Outlook 200 on this computer if I have to go that way.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Hi LeslielG,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Can you please verify that the appointments being deleted during synchronization are still on your BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 smartphone? If they have been removed due to the Keep Appointments setting, the synchronization will try to remove them from Microsoft® Outlook® as well. This KB article provides more information on this. "Calendar items occurring in the past are being deleted from the calendar application on the computer" http://bbry.lv/KKQSel
Hope this helps.

HELP! - Big Photoshop, Outlook Express, "My Pictures" Problem

Can anyone see what's gone wrong here and how I can solve the problem please? I use XP. I've imported photographs from My Pictures into Photoshop Elements 6, edited them and then saved them back in My Pictures as PSD files. Wanting to email them, I've used the "Email your pictures" option on the My Pictures menu which defaults to Outlook Express that I don't use any more for sending emails. I've selected the "make my pictures smaller" option then, rather than sending from Outlook Express I've selected "save attachments" and saved them back in My Pictures. Using this method opf reducing their size, I've then attached them to my Googlemail emails. I've done this successfully in the past but last time I attempted it I got an error message saying Windows Explorer has hit a problem and needs to close. Now, every time I go to My Pictures I get the same message straight away. Any ideas about why it happened and how I can do anything about it?
In the past, I've tried using Photoshop to reduce the size of files but it asks for the required size and I'm not sure how to answer. If it just said how many kb do you want it would be easy. All comments gratefully received.
Hugh

Hi,
This seems more of a Internet Explorer problem. You can try uploading the psd using any other browser.
Check that the size of the image is not too large. Gmail does not support files more than 25MB size.
Hope this solves your problem. Try this and inform what happened?
Cheers

Having problem sending mail through iMAC to PC outlook express.

i have iMAC MAC OS X 10.3.9 and using mail to send/receive messages.
I m having problem sending messages to outlook Users as when i send any message to them with different font colors so they receive message but in all Black color,and while when i send the same message with different Font color to Mac users so they receive same message which i sent with different Font color.
In both conditions my message in sent item shows all colors which i have done but outlook users do receive message but with all Black color. Plz give me an opinion to solve this problem.

If you are accessing your Comcast POP account with Outlook Express on your Windows PC, create your .Mac account as an IMAP account with OE.
Create a .Mac server stored mailbox for Comcast received messages and another for Comcast sent messages.
Copy the messages from the Comast Inbox and Sent mailbox to the designated server stored .Mac mailboxes.
After doing so, when launching the Mail.app on your Mac, these server stored mailboxes created with OE on your Windows PC and the transferred messages will be available.
Create two "On My Mac" location mailboxes - one for the transferred Inbox messages and one for the transferred sent messages. Transfer the messages from the server stored mailboxes to these "On My Mac" location mailboxes. This process will store the messages locally on the hard drive and remove the messages from the server at the same time.

Firefox won't take PC online. IE7 and Outlook Express do. Not firewall problem WinXP

WinXP, Firefox 3.6.13. Starting Firefox doesn't put the PC online if it isn't. Mailwasher, Outlook Express and IE7 all do. Have tried removing the one Firefox entry in Windows Firewall exceptions but this did nothing at all. Can't find anything in existing posts. Problem first started after upgrade to this version of Firefox.

Hi Lidia.C,
I understand that you are passionate about fixing this issue and I am sorry that it is so difficult to print.
It is possible to change the default program that reads pdfs if it does not work from adobe. This can be done from the "3bar" > Options > Applications menu. [[Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
Does downloading the file and saving it first, then opening the file in another program allow you to print in the meantime?
If there is a lockfile in the profile, it may be that preferences are not allowed to be changed. [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]
I hope this helps.
