Outlook Express losing inbox messages?

Hi Experts,
My Outlook Express is losing inbox messages. I had many in my inbox, shut down the PC.
Then I re-started the PC, this time there was only 1 message in the inbox.
Regards

Hello Brian,
The current forum is for developers. I'd suggest asking non-programming questions on the
Outlook IT Pro Discussions or
Microsoft Community forums instead.

Outlook Express Error 0x800c0133 (corrupted inbox file)

I use Outlook Express. I can send, but not receive. I have deleted the many emails that had never been deleted, but still can not receive. I have been
told I have a corrupted Inbox file. Something about the Inbox.dbx, but I don't know or how to correct this error.

It may be possible to fix the problem using these steps :
Open Outlook Express
Click "Local Folders" in the left side navigation
Select New Folder and name it TEMP
If possible move all of the email from your Inbox to the TEMP folder
Go to menu bar and select Tools -> Options -> Maintenance -> Store Folder and then write down the location of your
inbox
Close Outlook Express,
Use My Computer to go to the location is step 5 and then delete the file inbox.dbx
Open Outlook Express - The Inbox folder should be auto recreated.
Move your email from the TEMP folder back to your Inbox
I don't know if anyone is still looking for help with this error. It basically means you have too much saved
email in the version of Outlook Express your are using. You may want to try some of the methods listed in
Outlook Express Fix Toolbox
Link to free demo version:-

Hope this helps for people who are still getting this error. If you are getting it, I am sure you are dreading
the fact you may lose 'A lot' of your saved emails. Good luck,

Outlook Express warning, and it is not used.

HP Pavilion A1222N desktop, win XP Home, IE 8, Eset Nod 32 v 5.0.95.0
I keep getting this message (in red), at log on all of a sudden. We do not use Outlook Express, but use Hotmail which is Outlook.com ... I believe?? They are two different things? Am I correct?
To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take up to a few minutes.
I searched a few places and do not want to mess up the computer by using them with not being sure. I am not sure if Outlook Express can be completely removed without causing grief. Or go mess around in the registry with a hex key. Kind of scares me in case I mess it up? Here is what I found... but not real confident about what is correct and best move.

If you are referring to this, then I do recommend using the last option listed in it. The reason for this is that I do not have a Windows XP system with Outlook express installed to test this with. The first option's syntax, order of the command, doesn't look proper to me and I can't verify if it is correct or not. I do know that the second option is valid for a Windows OS.

Send mail with outlook express from LV

Hi,
I would like to show the "Outlook express's new message" dialog box from labview 6.1.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.
Alexis de La Fontaine.

Hi,
Send this to "System Exec.vi" :
rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Information%20about%20%20program
This should all be on one line. It might get truncated by mail servers.
The %20 gets translated to a space. You can leave the ?subject=etc.., and
you can even leave the email address. It's also possible to fill in the
message, but I never got it working (or forgot how to do it).
Regards,
Wiebe.

When I click on an email link on a web page, it goes to my Outlook Express inbox, not a new message

It used to open to a new message with the relevant email address in the "To" line. Now it just opens Outlook Express to my inbox.

Hi, cor-el,
Thank you for responding so quickly!
I tried to follow the instructions, but it didn't work. There are 10 mimeTypes.rdf files on my computer!
I tried to follow the website instructions of
Tools -> Options -> Content / File Types -> Manage
but once I get to Content I am stuck. No Manage button. (there is nothing that says File Types)
What do you suggest?
Thanks again.

I am using outlook express for my mail. When using internet explorer on PC I could set it up so I could simultaneously see all my inboxes, the mail details and a message preview. Can I do this on my Mac?

I am using outlook express for my mail. When using internet explorer on PC I could set it up so I could simultaneously see all my inboxes, the mail details and a message preview. Can I do this on my Mac?

About accessing using a browser: I can get in using Firefox or Safari, butI cant set the page up to see all my inboxes at the same time (so I can file emails appropriately) or get a preview to save opening every mail

Deleted emails in Outlook Express inbox

Deleted items in inbox of Outlook Express was emptied 'automatically' (without a command), probably my inbox was filled to much.
2800 e-mails appeared in the dust bin as a batch.
I transferred (relocated) them to: "Local setting/Application data/Identities", but could not be opened any email.
Any suggestions friends,

If you carefully follow these instructions, you may be able to recover them.
1. First CLOSE Outlook Express.
2. Hopefully you haven’t emptied your recycle bin yet. DON’T EMPTY IT.
3. Click to open your Recycle Bin and do check it. Do you see any files that end in .bak, like drafts.bak, sent.bak, and
especially inbox.bak. If you do, it’s recoverable. But DON’T right-click and choose restore YET. (If you don’t see the files there, they may be in another folder, which you’ll get to later. At any case, they’ll have the .bak extension.)
4. If you’re not already viewing details, choose VIEW from the top menu, and click on DETAILS. This is so you can see the
original file location.
5. The original file location could look something like this:  - C:\Documents and Settings\Default\Local
Settings\Application Data\Identities\some string\inbox.bak  - (Default could be some other name, some string is the string that you were given, which is different for different users.)
6. You’re going to have to find that original folder, but you might have to reveal hidden files and folders to do so. Local
Settings are usually hidden.  - Click START, Choose CONTROL PANEL, and Click FOLDER OPTIONS (for Windows 7, you’ll have to click on APPEARANCE AND PERSONALIZATION link first before you can click on FOLDER OPTIONS.) Then click
VIEW and look in the ADVANCED SETTINGS Window for SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS. Click that radio button if it isn’t already chosen, then click the OK button.
7. Now you’re ready. Find that folder, and look for an inbox.dbx. That is your current INBOX.
8. Right-click inbox.dbx and rename it inbox2.dbx, just in case
9. Now you can go back to your Recycle Bin, right click inbox.bak, and choose RESTORE.
10. That file inbox.bak should now be in the folder you just found.
11. Right click inbox.bak and rename it inbox.dbx
12. Now open Outlook Express and your inbox messages should be restored.
OR if that doesn’t work ..
From the Outlook Express Top Menu, click File > Import > Messages >
Choose the email program you use  If it was Outlook Express 6, then choose >Import Mail
from an OE6
Store Directory
> Click OK, and browse for that folder you just found
> Click and choose inbox.dbx or whichever file you want to restore, those messages should be restored.
In case both methods don't work, then use OE-Mail Recovery http://www.oemailrecovery.com/outlook-express-recovery.html

Outlook Express message database

Hi all,
After moving my Utilities folder (which contains the OE database) to an external hard disk, and then moving it back again (had to free up some space temporarily), Outlook Express starts as if for the first time: no preferences set, and what's worse, no messages in the Inbox and Sent Item folders.
The messages, all 1 GB of them, are still in Utilities: Documents: Microsoft User Data: Identities. I just can't get Outlook E to find them.
I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or shared experiences. If I've lost my e-mail archives I'm up the creek...
Tomas
Pismo Mac OS 9.1.x

Hi, Tomas -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Outlook Express expects its database files to be in one of two places.
In cases where an older version of OE was updated to 5.x, they may be in an Identities folder in the Outlook Express application folder (where the older versions kept them).
Otherwise, OE expects them to be here - (hard drive) >> Documents >> Microsoft User Data >> Identities. In the Identities folder should be at least one folder, Main Identity - that's the default account (identity). If additional accounts have been made, there will be additional folders in the Identities folder, one for each account.
OS 9 does not like having the Documents folder inside any other folder, and will usually create a new Documents folder if an existing one has been moved elsewhere.
If OS 9 has created a new Documents folder, move the Microsoft User Data folder into it. Any folder by the same name in the new Documents folder should not contain any old info, so replacing it should not cause any problems.
If OS 9 did not create a new Documents folder, try moving the old one out of the Utilities folder, so that the Documents folder is at the root level of the drive (same level as the System Folder and the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder). Then restart, and try OE again.
You may need to rebuild the desktop - not a bad thing to do when a lot of files have been moved around, or after installing a bunch of stuff.
Note - although OS 9 and many of its programs (MS apps, AppleWorks, etc.) use the Documents folder for some of their support files, you do not need to use that folder for the documents you create.

Outlook Express Inbox is crashed. Can i repair it?

Outlook Express Inbox is crashed. Can i repair it?

There are two possible reasons of this problem, if .dbx files are damaged than you can recover it with this soft called
OE-Mail Recovery:

but If Outlook Express prompt you to compact messages and you was agree then you can saw "Good buy" to old messages

Importing messages from Outlook Express on a PC to Mail

I just spent a long time looking through posts to find a way to do this, and still had difficulties, until finding this link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040325164915651
on one of the posts.
Actually it is simpler than described on that link, presumably because it's a couple of years old and the software has improved.
All you need to do now is Copy-Paste all the emails from each OE folder into a new folder you create on your desktop (OE lets you do this. So you make an Inbox folder, Sent folder, etc). Copy those folders over from PC to Mac (eg using a Fat32 formatted external drive) , then drag & drop those files one folder at a time into a Subfolder that you create in Entourage. (ie you make a new Inbox, Sent etc subfolder) Then Mail will import these folders from Entourage by itself using Import.
You need to have Entourage (part of Office) to do this.
cheers

Since you have a new Mac, you can create a .Mac trial account for free which is good for 60 days I believe.
A .Mac type account with Apple's Mail application is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way.
When creating a .Mac account with the Mail.app, the default account type provided is .Mac but you can also select IMAP or POP as the account type.
You can create a .Mac account as an IMAP or POP account with a different email client on a Mac or Windows PC.
After creating your .Mac trial account as a .Mac or IMAP account with Mail on your Mac, you can create the account as an IMAP account with Outlook Express on your Windows PC.
After doing so, copy messages from the POP account's Inbox mailbox to .Mac account's Inbox mailbox and the same for the POP account's Sent mailbox to your .Mac account's Sent mailbox.
Launch Mail on your Mac and these messages will be available in your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox.
Create two "On My Mac" location mailboxes in Mail - one for transferred Inbox messages and one for the transferred Sent messages.
Transfer these messages from your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox to the appropriate user created "On My Mac" mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive. This process will save the transferred messages locally on the hard drive and remove the messages from the server at the same time.
A .Mac trail account has limited server storage space so if the Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox for this POP account in OE on your PC exceeds the server storage limit for a .Mac trail account, you must do this in stages and although this may sound involved, it really isn't and overall is probably the easiest and fastest way to do so.

Sync error message about mail client - using Outlook Express, wants Outlook

I keep getting a message that "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client"
Outlook Express IS set as my default mail client, both on my computer and on the iTunes screen.
I use Calendar on the iPhone, but do not have sync requested on iTunes for this function.
I do have Outlook on my computer, but do not use it (don't need calendar function at home, but do like to have it on my iPhone since I carry it with me)

I'm having a similar problem. "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client." (iTunes 7.6.1.9)
I sync my contacts with Yahoo! (not Outlook).
I was syncing my calendar with Outlook. This was working just fine, but when I started to get the error above, I have tried turning off the calendar sync. No help there.
I am not syncing any email accounts via iTunes.
Anyone have any suggestions? Given that I'm not syncing with Outlook I don't understand the error. Thunderbird is my default mail client and I shouldn't have to change the system defaults to work around this bug.

I am not able to import my whole inbox from Outlook Express what can I do?

I need to improve my old but trust email and selected Thunderbird, I downloaded it and it set up most of my folders and a few mails into my inbox. Clearly not everything was correct so I read the help, and uninstalled Thunderbird, set outlook express as the default email client programme, downloaded Thunderbird again and this time all the folders were there with the emails within them - but the inbox only held about 5 emails.. (It should have about 1,500) not sure how to get my old email in... is there a cheat such as move all the email in inbox to a temportary email folder and then reinstall Thunderbird, and then simply move the email from the temporary folder back into the inbox?
Seems to be it should move it without having to do this , but strange things can happen!!

Outlook express is notorious for corrupt DBX files. not always such that things do not work in Ouytlook express.
Tools menu (Alt+T) > import and you can retry the import as often as you like. Each try will create an outlook expresss [number] folder under local folders with what it has obtained in them.
Note that import maiol only hey... your setting apparently came first time round.
I would suggest running one of the DBX repair tools on outlook express toi be sure.
