These steps repair the most likely causes of unexpected behavior in Outlook Express with a minimum of
effort.
Close the Folder List by clicking the X in the upper right-hand corner of the list panel. Alternatively
you can click Layout on the View menu, and then clear the Folder List check box.
On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Compact All Folders. Do not use your computer
until the process is complete, which might take several minutes.
If an error occurs, close Outlook Express, re-open it, and begin the process again from the top. If the same
error occurs again, close Outlook Express, restart your computer (or log off and then log on again), open
Outlook Express and then begin the whole process again.
Let the compaction process finish before you try to use your computer.
Unexpected behaviors in Outlook Express can be caused by small errors in the file Folders.dbx. This file
is the master index of the message store folder and damaged entries there can create all sorts of fun, such
as the wrong message or folder being displayed. When you compact all folders you are also updating this
master index. If you dont compact all folders from time to time, you are more likely to see distinctly unfunny
behavior.
Re-register libraries
Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) are files that contain functions that may be shared by other programs, such
as recognizing hyperlinks, displaying rich content, and so forth. These specific DLLs are used by Outlook
Express, and can cause glitches in the visual display if they are damaged. Re-registering a DLL using
regsvr32 is similar to reinstalling those functions and thus makes sure they are installed and working
correctly.
1. Export your e-mail and news accounts in Outlook Express so that you can import them into a new
Identity.
a. Click Accounts on the Outlook Express Tools menu.
b. Click the Mail tab and select the default account.
c. Click the Export button and select a location for the exported file.
d. Make sure the extension remains "iaf" (for Internet account file).
e. Repeat steps B and C for all accounts.
f. Click the News tab and repeat steps C and D for all accounts.
g. After all mail and news accounts have been exported, click Close.
2. On the File menu, click Identities, and then click Add New Identity.
3. Type a name for the new Identity, and then click OK.
A new Identity allows you to start Outlook Express with all default settings, a useful way to work around
registry or file damage.
