My .dbx files were crashed. How to make outlook express repair?

My Outlook Express 6 repair basic kit, didn't help.

Hey!
The solution to repair DBX files of Outlook Express consist of importing the corrupt files to Outlook Express and then accessing it again.
The very first step is to locate the corrupt DBX files by Registry Editor. After that, follow the instructions given in this post:
nalavadebela.wordpress.com/2014/04/25/feasible-technique-to-repair-damaged-dbx-files-of-outlook-express/
You can also use Outlook application without losing your DBX files by converting all your DBX files to PST format.

Thanks.

How to repair damaged DBX file of outlook express?

I am currently having 4 GB data available in inbox.dbx. But there is one problem with that. I am not able to see my mails as header corrupt the dbx files. This is very annoying. I tried many things to solve the problem from my side but it was not helpful
to me. So I am leaving the question over here so that I can get the response from you people that what should I do to repair the damaged DBX file of outlook express. Thank you so much in advance for reading and replying to this thread.

The manual solution starts with finding or locating the corrupted DBX file(s). You need to start the Registry
Editor to find the location where Outlook Express stores its files. Follow the steps given below to know how to do this:
Press Win+R to open the Run window.
Type regedit into
it and press enter.
The Registry Editor window will be opened. In the left hand side pane, expand the folders in
this manner:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Identities > XYZ > Software > Microsoft > Outlook
Express > 5.0
Now in the right hand side pane, locate the Store Root settings from the list and double-click
it.
The path will be shown where Outlook Express stores its files. Copy the full path from there.
Once you have copied the path, you need to move the mailbox file(s). Follow the steps given below to know
how to do this:
First of all close the Outlook Express program if it is opened.
Now paste the path (copied earlier) on your Windows directory and press enter.
You can copy or move all the files from this location to a new location. After that, delete all the files from the
original location if you have copied them.
In the third step, you need to import the DBX file(s) into Outlook Express. It would be easy for Outlook
Express to import the file(s) without causing any trouble. Follow the steps given below to know how to do this:
Start Outlook Express on your system.
Click on File menu > Import.
The Outlook Express Import window
will be opened. Select the Outlook Express version in the list from which you want to import the emails. If you are unsure with that, you can select Outlook Express 6. Click on Next.
Now click on Browse to select the directory where the files are saved. This is the very same
directory in which you have moved the files from original location earlier. Click on Next.
Select the items you want to import. For example: you can import All folders or the Selected
folders. Click on Next.
Now start your Outlook Express and check your mailbox folders again.

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

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.

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.

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.

Outlook Express Won't Launch/Freezes Computer?

I have a 5 yr old G4, running OS 9.1, Outlook Express 5.0.2
When I try to launch OE, the computer freezes (altho the cursor moves around, it can't do anything). The computer makes a sound of 4 drawn-out clicks (rasps) followed by 2-3 shorter ones. Then a an error message of Type 1 appears. The same thing had been happening with Simple Text for a couple of years (altho that said "Error of Type 113"), but we never really use it so it doesn't matter. I tried to open "Apple System Profiler" and the same thing happened today. Everything else seems to be working fine. Any thoughts, suggestions, help????
Thanks.

Hi, Rodney -
With regard to Outlook Express, try this -
1) Increase its Preferred memory allocation; adding 20 or 30 thousand, or even more, to its original Preferred amount is not excessive.
Article #18278 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
2) Then compact its database files. To do that, hold down the Option key while launching Outlook Express. A screen should appear offering to compact the database files - okay that, and follow the prompts.
Re Apple System Profiler, try increasing its Preferred memory allocation - doubling the original Preferred amount should suffice.
Re simpleText, increasing its Preferred memory allocation may also help. Note, though, that SimpleText has a finite limit of how large a file it can handle - 32MB. Any file larger than that, even if in SimpleText format, will not be openable by SimpleText.
One solution for that which many folk have gone to is to use a replacement program. One such is SimpleEdit.
The computer makes a sound of 4 drawn-out clicks (rasps) followed by 2-3 shorter ones.
That can be worrisome. It can indicate the OS is finding it difficult to open a file needed by the program; an overly full drive; damage to the disk directory; or, worst case, physical damage to the drive, such as one or more bad blocks.
• Difficulty in opening a file can be caused by the file having become damaged. This is not unusual particularly with preference files, and the solution for those is usually to throw away the appropriate preference file, then restart the machine. The next time a call is placed to use that prefs file a new one will be created with default settings.
The prefs file used by Apple System Profiler can be found 'loose' in the Preferences folder (in System Folder); its name is ASP Preferences.
Outlook Express uses at least two prefs files. One is named Outlook Express Prefs and is located loose in the Preferences folder. The other is named simply Preferences, and can be found in the account folder for the user account. OE 5 places that here - (hard drive) >> Documents >> Microsoft User Data >> Identities >> Main Identitiy >> Preferences. If you have created additional acccounts, there will be a separate folder for each in the Identities folder, each with its own Preferences file.
SimpleText has no prefs file.
• A too-full drive can result in extensive fragmentation of files, giving Finder a lot of grief when it tries to pull one together; it can also lead to erratic Finder behavior, including crashes and other events.
It is good practice to not let a drive get more than about 80 to 85% full; leaving the remainder unused allows room for files to grow normally, for Virtual Memory to use without incident, and for temporary files (such as are created during a printing operation).
• Damage to the disk directory can best be checked for by booting the Mac to the most recent OS 9 Install CD available (one valid for that model), and running Disk First Aid from the Utilities folder on the CD. Although DFA is somewhat limited in what it can fix, its diagnostics are excellent.
If DFA finds somethig it can not fix, it would be time to use a stronger utility, one such as Alsoft's DiskWarrior or Micromat's TechTool Pro.
• Physical Damage to the hard drive is more difficult to diagnose and fix.
If it is bad blocks, that can usually be fixed by doing a deep (zero-all-data) re-initialization of the drive, reformatting it as Mac OS Extended in the process. Once the re-initialization is completed, run the Test Disk item in Drive Setup's Function menu - doing so should map out any bad blocks.
Using Drive Setup
Note - re-initializing and reformatting a drive will erase it, so be sure your data has been backed up before doing that.
• If your drive was last formatted using Drive Setup on an OS 9.0.4 or earlier Install (or Restore) CD, that version of Drive Setup had a defect that could leave a drive vulnerable to incurring a wrapper error. The versions of Drive Setup that come on OS 9.1 and later Install CDs do not have that defect.
The version of Disk First Aid that comes with OS 9.1 and later install CDs can sometimes repair a wrapper error.
Alsoft's DiskWarrior (v. 2.x or later) can definitely repair a wrapper error. Note that the current versions of DiskWarrior (v. 3.x) boot to OSX - they have no problem repairing OS 9 volumes, but the machine should be OSX-ready before booting to that disk. If the latter is not the case, look for a v. 2.1 or v. 2.1.1 version of DiskWarrior.

Want to synch with Outlook Express

I am trying to synch my Palm OS with Outlook Express. I have downloaded 2 trial versions, neither of which worked.
Express2Desktop converter says that it has copied the files from but then nothing shows up in the left-hand (Palm OS) pane.
Express Mirror installed fine but even though I did a repair and rebooted, it kept saying it couldn't find palm.csv in its own folder (which I am assuming it should have installed automatically).
I checked that I have the latest version of Palm OS installed on my computer.
Does anyone have any ideas of some other software I could try, or else why both of these synch programs failed?
thanks
Post relates to: Zire 31

If it works, ExpressMirror sounds like a very clever product. It had not occurred to me to synchronize your device to Palm Desktop, and then Palm Desktop with the Windows Address Book.
Does anything in the ExpressMirror Tutorial Online help?
I do not see any FAQs or online support, but you can contact the vendor at [email protected] and see whether they recognize that error message.

Hotmail not working with outlook express..

Hello,
Just obtained a nice, mint like Pismo with the G4 550 upgrade.. It also has the original 802.11b airport card, not so slow as many say it is.. My question pertains to outlook express and hotmail...
How do I set up my pop3 account for hotmail under OS 9.2.2's outlook express?? I keep getting errors such as server not reached or something... I have tried other email clients, to no avail.
Also, I have a problem with Sherlock 2 not working... here is the message for this problem:
I wish I had another way to contact you.. Just got my PowerBook G3 Pismo today.. everything runs great on it!! Well, sorta.. My questions pertains to Sherlock 2 on the Pismo through 9.2.2 - I am having trouble using sherlock 2 as it seems to not have a network connection.. Here is the error:
Please note: I am using the airport card which works great and is connected, but why isn't sherlock 2 working?
Now for the error:
A NETWORK ERROR OCCURED. Check your network connections and settings, then try again... Now, why on earth is it giving me an error like this if the airport is connected and working???
Any help would be appreciated, as I have been away from OS 9 for a long time... though I just got back into it with sheepshaver, and NOW I have a real authentic PISMO
Thanks..
Also, what are your feelings about upgrades for this?? What would be the most economic devices I can upgrade herE? I was thinking about getting a USB 2.0 card.. possibly some more batteries(pram and battery are dead, so running pismo from ac adapter)..
The wireless 802.11B isn't so slow as many say it is.. its pretty quick and it doesn't feel any different than with my 802.11g on my mac pro.. I don't have an N router though.
If someone can help me out I'd be grateful.. I have been away from OS 9 for a long time.. I know more about OS X than OS 9.

Not sure about a fix, but look at these suggestions. OE is basically obsolete & doesn't meet the security requirements & set up of many ISPs.
Go to your Outlook Express folder Inside the OE folder, look for a folder named Microsoft Internet Self-Repair - inside you'll find a program named Microsoft Internet First Run. Double-click it to run it - doing so should replace any missing files needed by Outlook Express.

Was using Outlook Express (OS9) - should I switch to Mail or Entourage?

I've still been using OS9 for my email tasks (on one computer), and running OS X on another, because I am so used to Outlook Express, and I have over a 1 GB database of 8 years of email messages that I need to maintain (for my work).
I'm finally looking at options for dumping this and doing everything on OS X (currently I have 10.3.9, but I will soon update to 10.4.x).
I've been investigating Mail, and I imported all my messages from OE into it (took about 20 hours). I've started looking into it and, perhaps it's just that I am unused to it, but it seems to lack certain features I always use, such as the ability to edit messages that are already sent or received. The folder (mailbox) management seems a bit clunky at first glance. But again, maybe if I dive in I'll find ways to do what I want.
I've also realized I own Office X Entourage (never used it), and as I write this, I'm importing all my OE data into it.
I generally really like Apple apps, and detest MS apps. It goes against my grain to not migrate to Mail at this point, but I must admit it seems as if Entourage is just a reworked, very familiar looking Outlook Express (with more stuff), and it would be so much easier for me to go there.
Can anyone tell me why I should use Mail, and not Entourage, at this point? Is Mail in 10.4.x much improved from 10.3?
Thanks!

Mail in 10.4 is definitely a little better, but still can't directly edit messages, though you can redirect them and edit when you redirect a messsage by using Send Again in the Message menu.
Mail has a distinct advantage over Entourage in that it does not put all your eggs in one basket. Entourage stores every piece of address book, e-mail, and calendar information in a single database file in your Documents -> Microsoft Users data in your Home folder. Mail separates mailboxes into their own files. Apple's Addressbook which Mail has access to, has its own separate files. And Apple's iCal also has its own separate files. The database of Entourage can get corrupt very easily when it becomes large. While Microsoft includes a database repair program, I found it does not always work.
While it means backing up Mail/Addressbook/iCal requires a little more navigating of specific folders, you will have a much more reliable backup than using Entourage. I suggest for someone going to Mac OS X, to consider cloning for backup, as I recommend here:
