Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / February 2008OE6 not receiving mail
OE6 with Win 98, PC. A couple of weeks ago I could no longer send emails. I ran an Earthlink patch and then one of my two addresses worked. They could both receive mail. Now neither one will receive mail. I get an error msg saying it failed. I can retrieve them by going through the Earthlink email reader, but that is extremely tedious, and not a long-term solution. ( I also get an error msg when I close IE6, which started about the same time.)  Signature- Alan Justice P.S. When I stopped receiving mail, all messages were deleted from my inbox, but not others.

What does the error message say (exactly)? Have you considered the possibility of infection? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > P.S. When I stopped receiving mail, all messages were deleted from my > inbox, but not others. I tried to run ScanDisk. It found the error in Inbox.dbx (in Outlook Express directory), but was unable to fix it, and never would finish running. But I found another version of that file in the Mail subdirectory. I copied it to the OE directory, and now it works! I still can't find all the messages in the Inbox, but the others are there (e.g., sent messages are in the Sent Items.dbx file). Does anyone know what the filename is for msg in Inbox? Signature- Alan Justice > What does the error message say (exactly)? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > P.S.

Messages can be extracted from DBX files with these programs: DBXtract ($7): http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx There is also a free alternative to DBXtract, though not for DBXpress: http://www.insideoe.com/resources/tools.htm#macallan DBXpress: ($25) http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx SignatureFrank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM www.fjsmjs.com Do not reply with email |
