... WHEN i GO TO OUTLOOK EXPRESS TO CHECK MY MAIL BY CLICKING ON SEND AND RECEIVE IT TAKES AT LEAST TWO TO THREE MINETUS FOR THE MNEW MESSAGES TO DOWN LOAD. DOES ANYONE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? I HAVE WINDOWS XP PRO. -- nanacopa [X-Posted to OE General] Turn off your Caps Lock! 1: Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in Custom Mode and opt out of e-mail scanning when the option arises. 2: Move any messages you want to save out of Deleted Items, Sent Items and the Inbox to folders that you create and then close OE and delete the dbx files for those three folders. Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run. In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx, Sent Items.dbx and Inbox .dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE. Compact all folders as described below. To help prevent this in the futu Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible. After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while working *offline* and do it often. Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed. Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2 or SP3}. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA |

Possible your client was corrupted,if so try-'.dbx explorer' (http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/dbx_explorer.html),this tool helped me many times and it is free as far as i know,it can easily assign tasks, share calendars, organize meetings and forward documents as attachments,works with corrupted files of dbx format and it does not matter, which factor led to mailbox damage, it may be viruses, hacker aggression or any other problem,compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 and Windows Me,works with all supported versions of this email program. -- zlatan24 Posted via http://ms-os.com Forum to Usenet gateway |
