I have had microsoft outlook express for years, all of a sudden I cannot open my email. When I try and open the program, it freezes up and will not allow me to open email or even close down the system. I receive mail and can read it in the preview pane but cannot open or send. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks Gloria

Without knowing exactly HOW it's failing for you (error
messages, details and the like) I can only guess.

My guess is that your configuration for your email account
with your new ISP was not entered properly into Outlook
Express.

Outlook Express is driving me a bit crazy. I can receive e-mails but I can't send them. I've tried creating a new account and I get the same results. I figured reinstalling OE6 might help, but the only issue I'm having with that is I don't use Internet Explorer as my web browser. I use Firefox. Is that going to matter? If I install IE6 with OE6 is that going to effect my Firefox? I think this all started b/c I switched from one ISP to another. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I installed Outlook 2000 to try to learn in and when I set it up it asked if I wanted it to bring over my address book from Outlook Express. I said no. What I didn't know is that it would delete my address book in Outlook Express. Is there any way to get it back? Thank you.

Right click on it in the list and click on delete.

If by "open" you mean it shows up in the preview pane, then turn the preview
pane off.

Suggestion to: "When I insert a midi file into OutLook Express mail it will not play, however I can insert a wave file and it plays. I'm running I/E 7 & Media player 10. Help"
Posted by: Ejay at May 5, 2007 05:34 PM

This was MY solution to the same problem: Check the SW Synth or MIDI Synth volume in your volume control panel. Make sure it is not set to zero or muted.

Hi Leo, Every time I log onto Outlook Express to get my emails, a message comes up saying the Pop3 server has failed. What does that mean and how can it be fixed. It has been doing that for a little while and I used to use Windows 'System Restore' and it used to get fixed but the last time it happened, System Restore hasn't fixed it. If you could help I would be very grateful. Thanks. Diana Kavanagh. Qld. Aust.

I have been using yahoo mail but now need to use Outlook Express. I don't undertsand what the problem is. I keep getting these problems whenever I try to send/receive:

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'monitmv@prodigy.net'. Subject 'a picture for you for business cards', Account: 'POP3', Server: 'smtp.prodigy.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/sbc/dsl/mail/pop/pop-11.html', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'smtp.prodigy.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

The host 'pop.prodigy.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'pop.prodigy.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Please help me get over this one!!!

Thank you

All of a sudden, I stopped being able to view the body of my messages in Outlook Express. I can send messages and they are downloaded from the server. It takes an unusually long time for OE to load the message so that the subject line is shown. Once this is done, the message area remains empty and white. This is true for old messages as well as new. Please help!! Thanks.

I have run a scan 4 times and no virus is detected. Can anyone help? I also tried to remove OE and all it did was remove IE and did not remove OE (yes, I am sure I checked the OE box).

Hello,

I've the same problem than J.B.
I'm running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2, and have tried Emil's method step by step, uninstalled KB911567 as Joe says, even tried the system file checker (which, btw, asked me for a Windows XP Professional disk) and all remain the same, even worse: now I have two "Main identities" in the identities selection drop box...
Does somebody has any idea different from reinstall Windows and/or switch to other mail client (I'm currently trying Thunderbird, which has imported all dbx files ok, but not the contact list)?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks so much for your posting about the Outlook Express address book error. I spent so much effort trying the Microsoft help pages to no avail. It appears that your step 6: ... If you have a DWORD key "UseOutlook" put it on "0". Otherwise, create it with the value of "0". was the main problem, since I didn't have this key.

Joe - you hit the nail on the head with that one. I wish the MS guys would be more diligent with testing this stuff . I removed that patch by running the uninstaller from the hidden uninstall folder in c:\windows, opened the address book, exported it to CSV format, closed the address book, re-installed 911567, deleted the .wab and .wab~ from 'c:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book', then opened OE again, opened the address book and re-imported the CSV file. Unfortunately the groups didn't reappear (presumably a limitation of CSV export), but I can live with that.

J.B., The recent update to Outlook Express has broken the application and the adress book. The best solution is to uninstall security update KB911567 from "Add Remove Programs". Also, disable automatic updates so that windows doesn't automatically reinstall it. From now on we need to check for windows updates manually and skip over KB911567.

To J.B.

Here is how i've solved the problem. (On Windows XP)

1. Try to recover your Address Book (I recommend you "Address Book Recovery", a small tool that recovers your contacts as .Vcf files which you can import in Address Book.
2. Close OE and MS Messenger.
3. Open Task Manager and close every instances of "msimn.exe" and "msmsgs.exe" in Services if they still run.
4. Uninstall Outlook Express and Windows Messenger with Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs-> Add/Remove Windows Components. Dont.t worry, you won't loose nothing.
5. Install again OE and Windows Messenger with Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs-> Add/Remove Windows Components.
6. Open Regedit and find "HCCU\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4" If you have a DWORD key "UseOutlook" put it on "0". Otherwise, create it with the value of "0".
6. Find you Address Book, some files with extension .wab and .wab~ and move them to another place.
7. Open OE and close it to create a new Address Book.
8. Restore your Contacts by double-clicking one by one all .vcf files previously saved at step 1 (if you save them, otherwise you must add those contacts by hand.)
9. Now, if you open OE, you should be able to open your messages.
10. Good Luck!

Eac time I attmept to open any email, I get a pop-up that says, "Unable to open the Address Book. The address Book may not be installed properly." Another pop-up tells me "there was an error opening this message. An error has occurred." Another one tells me "the address book failed to load. Outlook Express is incorrectly configured, please re-install." I desperately need help. I have tried all kinds of remedies. Pleas help.

My system is around 1 1/2 years old and runs win xp service pack 2. Alls well to this point. Just installed some critical updates from microsoft and now the box that comes up when you click "Send/Receive" just flashes on the screen for maybe a half second. This Progress Box used to open and it would say, connecting, sending mail, disconnecting, connecting, checking for mail, receiving mail, disconnecting, and all the while it was receiving or sending, the progress meter would show the progress. Now, it is there but it just flashes and it's gone. I remember an update to my virus scan "Hauri" also just before this went haywire. Maybe that's another player in the game. What do you suggest? Not the registry, I hope. Thank you, Janet

Outlook Express can no longer be used with Free Hotmail accounts. You'll have to use Hotmail's web interface, or pay for an upgrade. More here: http://ask-leo.com/can_i_use_outlook_express_or_outlook_to_access_my_hotmail_account.html

It depends on where the mail is coming *from* more than anything else. But on the surface, I suspect the mail forwarding service, whichever one that might be.

I have a tough one, lets see how good you are... :)
My father has been receiving SOME of his email 2-7 days later than when they were sent. Were do they go ? Maybe they stop for coffee on the way. He's using OE, Kasparsky Anti Virus, a mail forwarding service, and the ISP says nothing's wrong with them. Any Idea ?

To resolve this behavior, rename the Pop3uidl.dbx file, and then restart Outlook Express. Follow these steps:

1.Click Exit on the File menu to quit Outlook Express.

2.Click Start, point to Search, and then click For Files or Folders.

3.In the Search for files or folders named box, type Pop3uidl.dbx, and then click Search Now.

4.Under Search Results, right-click the Pop3uidl.dbx file, and then click Rename.

5.Type Pop3uidl.old, and then press ENTER.

6.To start Outlook Express, click Start, point to Programs, and then click Outlook Express.

5. I am receiving multiple copies of messages. How can I fix this?

This problem has been seen in Outlook Express before. In the program, go to Tools --> Accounts --> Mail --> Properties --> Advanced. At the bottom is a section called Sending. The box "Break apart messages larger than" is probably checked. The value in the KB box is usually what is causing the
problem. Raise that value to 3000 or just uncheck the box all together. Click OK, and then Close.

From: http://www.adelphiapowerpage.com/synacor/faqs/Email_Faqs.cfm#5

By any chance, are you using Mcafee SpamKiller? I noticed in a forum that the program was causing the problem of duplicate emails:

When I send e-mails in Outlook Express, some of my recipients receive two copies of the same mail. What`s up with that; they are in my address book only once.

On March 1, 2006, my Outlook Express (OE) duplicated all incoming emails. When I tried to open them, they were slow opening. Meantime, the system kept saying I was receiving mail, although no new emails came in. This prompt never ceased. Whenever I would delete a copy of an email, it would go to the Deleted box and then return the next time I opened OE. Finally I had perhaps six copies of every email on March 1 and no actual new emails coming in, just clones of the original emails. Then for a long time I could not open OE at all. While this went on, I ran Norton Anti-Virus 2006 and updates to the moment, and Spy Sweeper also updated. Nothing was found that fixed the problem. I shut off the modem to the Internet. Then my OE opened much faster, emails opened instantly, and copying stopped. Obviously my virus/Trojan, whatever it is, is connected to something on the Internet. Curiously, when I was still connected and wanted to use Fire Fox to get to Semantec, it kept directing me to McAffe. I conclude that Norton's has been targeted by the intruder and maybe a greater vulnerability would be obtained if I followed the hijacked page and bought McAfee. I didn't. Short of re-doing my entire computer hard drive, what is to be done?

I can't send or receive mail thru Outlook Express. I just got rid of a malware called SpyStrike. The problems occured at the same time, but I don't know if they are related. The modem seems to be fine, the box says "connected" and the blue arrow moves, but nothing comes or goes. Any advice?

When I open Outlook Express to check my mail. It will say I have 16 messages. When they get done downloading, they are all double emails, so I actually only have 8 emails. Then when I open one to view it, eight of them just flat disappear and the other eight go to my deleted folder? Help, I'm way lost!

Hi Leo

Sometimes when i try to open up Outlook Express i find that it starts to open and then there is nothing there, in other words it hasn't opened properly. When i start to reboot it tells me that Outlook is still running but by this time its too late to stop the reboot because i other programs have closed and this includes my virus checker.

Can you please tell me why this doesn't open properly and tell me how to fix it.

Many thanks

Paul

Comment from Terri Sween on 2005-12-12

2005-12-12T19:01:50Z

Hi - this is a wierd one. I have some (about 300) items in my deleted items folder which will not let me delete them. When I try I receive a message saying that the messaging interface has returned an unknown error - I can delete all the remaining items one by one but cannot do a delete all on that folder. Its a big pain to delete all that junk piece by piece so I tried deleting the deleted items.dbx file. That file is now gone -- does not exist on my computer when I search either by name or search *.dbx BUT the deleted items folder is still there in outlook express!! With all the same junk inside it. I ran the repair program and came up with no errors. I have rebooted several times and still the same results. As an added piece of fun - if I highlight multiple messages to be deleted using the control key they (someimes, but not always, reproduce themselves - making multiple duplicate copies of themselves which increases the number of messages in the inbox when I delete them!!!) Any ideas. Thank You.

Hello Leo,
I'm running 2000 and my Outlook Express is telling me every time I send a file out that there was an error in a task (using my pop account) and the file is placed into the "out" box. In truth, it actually did send the file so I have to go in and erase the "out" box files each time. I tried doing the SFC you recommended but it would not allow me to fail on the CD location to redirect it to my I386 directory. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

When I opened Outlook Express today there was a message that said "message has not been downloaded"
It referred to a message dated 7-28-05. I am sure I
have seen that message.

Then I notice that all my email from 7-28 to 10-23
is missing. Some of it is important since it concerns Ebay transactions.

Where did this email go?? How do I get it back ??

Thanks,

Bob

Hi (I could not find an article to match my issue)
I "selected all" emails in my "sent" folder to delete. There were over one thousand.
In the middle of doing this which was taking a while, OE failed. Message screen said the system had an error.
After I rebooted I can not delete anything from any folder, nothing.
What do I do in order to be able to delete my emails?
thank you very much for your time.
Perry
