.IssueFor some reasons I'm looking for backup that stores messages in Outlook Express on Windows XP.SolutionBackup emails with Outlook Express:. 1. Click ': Tools Option. 2.
If you do not feel like upgrading to a later Outlook version after upgrading to Windows 7, then you might want to consider Windows Live Mail as a free alternative. It also has Contacts and Calendar support and is fully supported on Windows 7. If you want to switch to Windows Live Mail on your Windows 7 computer, make sure you install Windows Live Mail on your old computer first and select to import from Outlook. After this, move the message store from Windows Live Mail to your Windows 7. Hello, without using techno blurb can anyone tell me: 1. Is outlook express part of windows 7? If not, can i download it from somewhere, free, for use in windows 7?
Click 'Maintenance' tab and then 'Store Folder'. 3. You now see the full name of the folder in Windows XP where the rows all your mail boxes.
It is a name extension that corresponds to the full path to the Storage folder for Outlook Express. 4.
Select the folder name. 5. Right click and select Copy. 6. Cancel and still Cancel, Close Outoolk Express.
Start Run, a small dialog box opens, and then you paste what you just copy The folder name where your mail boxes must be part of the window. 7. You should now have before us the Outlook Express folder. It contains files with extension.dbx.
8. You select all.
9. Right click on the desktop, then on 'New Folder and name it 'Backup mail '. 10. In the Outlook Express window 'Copy selected items'. 11. Open your backup folder located on your desktop on 'Edit' 'Copy'.By doing this, you made a copy of Outlook folders.
Must now include that copy in your backup on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.To avoid this, you create a desktop shortcut to the Outlook file storage.You repeat the same route as above in step 1 to 6. 12. Right-click the desktop and managed to the 'New Shortcut.' A wizard will open and you paste and 'Next' and 'Finish'.With this shortcut, you can copy your mail files directly to CD or DVD.To know more about 'Backup Outlook Express files and folders please click.
So the replacements are there; Microsoft has simply removed the years of duplication by making Windows Live the official, single set of tools you can download and use if you like.The problem, of course, is migration. According to Microsoft you can Import directly from Outlook Express and Windows Mail folders stored on your. One of the problems with Outlook Express is difficulty in exporting data. Your best bet is to find a more recent software to help with the migration. I'll show you how to move from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail on Windows 7 (the easiest moving option), step by annoying step.
Outlook Express's day has come and gone. It's unsupported and often loses email. I'll explain what I think you should do instead. The first thing to understand is the difference between an online program (such as the Yahoo website) and a program running locally on your computer. Then I can point you in the right direction.Posted: October 29, 2009in:Shortlink:Tagged. New Here?Let me suggest my to get you started.Of course I strongly recommend you - there's a ton of information just waiting for you.Finally, if you just can't find what you're looking for,!
Leo Who?I'm and I've been playing with computers since I took a required programming class in 1976. I spent over 18 years as a software engineer at Microsoft, and after 'retiring' in 2001 I started in 2003 as a place to help you find answers and become more confident using this amazing technology at our fingertips. Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, and Thunderbird are not adequate replacements for Outlook Express. That’s because none of those programs provide the “Identities” feature. If you don’t use or understand Identities, you can pass this off as an unimportant extra, but those of us who do use it feel that it’s an essential item for any respectable e-mail program. We are not weirdos or cranks.
We just feel that this important feature should not have been discontinued. I’m unhappy enough that I won’t ever upgrade to any new Microsoft O.S. Unless they bring back Outlook Express or a viable replacement. When they no longer provide security patches for XP, I’ll move to another platform. I don’t need to stick with Microsoft to use Thunderbird.
I can use it with a Linux machine, or if I win the lottery, a Macintosh. If e-mail is a user’s chief concern, the much maligned Windows ME is a far more usable operating system than Windows 7. Incidentally, I’ve been using the Release Candidate of Windows 7 for some time and have found that one workaround for the Outlook Express problem is to run an older version of Windows in Microsoft’s Virtual PC. It works, but what a pain! And possibly insecure too. Your telling ME they are, to put it very politely, “not adequate replacements” for Outlook Express.
Perfectly workable programs are being wiped off the books at an alarming rate replaced by badly coded useless and troublesome programs like there is no tomorrow. When is the international community going to give Microsoft a serve about their unwillingness to listen to the pleas of so many users with endless problems. It is getting out of hand and needs to be deal with by someone with balls. I have just spent more than three days trying o make a damn email client work on windows 7 64bit computer running like a rocket.
What the hell is wrong with software developers these days?. Just one more reason that Windows will continue to be bloatware. They will always have to support obsolete technologies and methods. It always amazes me how resistant people are to change yet they are the first to complain that “nothing changes”. I haven’t used Outlook Express in years. If I get one more e-mail with the.eml extension I am going to choke someone.
I have been using Windows 7 beta for many months. It is rock solid and it closes a lot of security gaps. All of you out there who refuse to change, I don’t want to hear you complain that “my computers slow”. You are probably a bot for half a dozen spammers out there. Just pay the computer tech and quit griping about how expensive it is to have your computer deloused. I remember Incredimail.
I used to get emails from people using it, identifiable by its graphically adorned emails and animated gifs. I used it for a while to create holiday and birthday emails. It worked very well and extremely simple to use. I’m not sure it it allows you to create undecorated emails suitable for business or not. Maybe someone who uses it could post a comment on that.Update: I just downloaded it and tried it.
It seems easy to use. I’m not sure of the features, but it should work if you don’t have any special requirements. The free version puts an advertisement gif link at the bottom, not a major problem for email with friends but probably a deal breaker for professional emails.
For $30, they have a paid version without the ads. So you might want to try it out and buy it if you want to get rid of the ad link. It can run together with any other email program as long as you use IMAP or set it to leave mail on server. Isn’t this all about “monetizing” e-mail and driving customers to the Microsoft site where you must endure reading your e-mails amidst a perimeter of strobing flash ads?And this is a web based service. Would anyone be content with a Post Office where you go to read your mail but must leave them there?
When I get mail, I want to GET it and keep it if I wish too.Once Yahoo killed my ID and all my e-mails for some reason I could never find out. I could never even talk to a live person. Just one day – blink! – everything gone.If you review the TOS for Windows Live Mail, it likely says they can delete your account, at their discretion, at any time, for any reason without notice or explanation.How is that an improvement?.
I am trying to migrate Outlook Express (XP) to Win 7 Outlook. The W7 Outlook gives instructions in its help menu, but refers to its own OE version which doesn’t exist, as mentioned above. I tried downloading the Virtual PC program as suggested above, but it will not download for Home Edition. Win 7 Live Mail does not look like OE as mentioned above, and does not have the options listed in the conversion instructions in the Outlook 7 Help. Do you have any ideas for converting the data from the older OE to Outlook 7?. Used Outlook Express for years, mailing lists/contact groups with 50 entries max in order not to be considered spam by ISP. Using Windows mail and Vista at the moment and I do not agree that Windows mail is exactly like Outlook Express.
Outlook Express is a lot better and Windows Mail so far is annoyingly slow, clunky and does not allow me to have the groups/mailing lists the way they were. Had no trouble to import the whole address book from Outlook Express, but using Windows Mail? NO if I can help it: am now looking for a way to get Outlook Express working on Vista, anybody doing this? Help available?. I’ve tried several times to work with Windows Live Mail and it doesn’t work well for me.
Too many hoops to jump through. For one thing, my Kaspersky Security Suite doesn’t scan incoming emails for spam junk, viruses, malware, etc. Does Windows Live Mail work and look like Outlook Express? Absolutely not!
Right now, I’m using Eudora for my emails, but the company that made it is no longer supporting it. Eudora works somewhat like Outlook Express, but there’s still a lot to be desired. So far, I havent’ figured out how to get it to access more than one email account. An email program called The Bat looks promising.
Re: windows live maili’ve read all these comments, and I too am frustrated with windows live mail.I use it under vista, BUT it is available under windows 7.despite my frustrations (primariliy with how the CONTACTS are stored, not able to retrieve groups, etc), I think many of you are missing somethign.If you start windows live mail, and do NOT SIGN IN, you can use it to send/retrieve mail, per multiple individual accounts, using POP and STMP accounts, and read/store these emails on your desktop. You do NOT need to go online to their mail sites ( I DETEST online mail due especially to the home pages, etc)Tools / Accounts is what allows you to set up different emil accounts, similar to the IDENTITIES on outlook express.Hope this helps some of the users.If any of YOU users can recommend a better contact-management program, that allows me to store emails/contcts by groups, etc, AND EXPORT/RETRIEVE/MERGE these groups (windows live can’t export groups addresses), I’d appreciate itnick. Well here is a HAPPY STORY. My XP desktop crashed; was able to have the geeks back up my broken hard drive on an external hard drive. They salvaged my old emails in.dbx format ( I have 100s in different folders w/ attachments etc.)After much searching and trying, I now have my email back. Here is what I did:1.
Bought a new computer; windows 7 (yea another operating system – so far so good)2. Created windows live id and account3. Open up the windows live, up date and get it running; along the top bar, rt side, select menu, select open menu bar.4. Select file, import (for me it was outlook express 6 files), browse to find your.dbx files.5.
It actually worked! Not bad for a non-computer personAll folders, files and attachments are there, in order.
This is a a VERY Merry Christmas for me – I wish all of you the same!. Windows 7 is a good leap forward from Vista. I am using Earthlink MailBox for some years now. Have tried a varieties of Email Programs and considered Earthlink MailBox is probably the best in “fencing off” the unwanted senders.In Vista -I have Ultimate installed in my Laptop- it’s just not possible to install indipendently the Earthlink Mailbox. With Windows 7, the XP Mode is a life saver.
Though XP Mode only available on Windows 7 Pro., Business and Ultimate, I was able to install the Earthlink MailBox indipendently on my other Laptop runing Windows 7 Home Premium without any problem.The question now is where to download the used to be free Outlook Express. Probably Leo can answer this.
Just a little story. I got used to Windows XP, liked it, but got tired of limited usage, window explorer errors, not able to preview my digital Mpeg 4 files. I tried Vista 64 bit OS. After more frustration, not accepting my good and old programs, I returned that junky software with a brand new PC from the Future Shop. The PC should be renamend to Gates Way!
The story continues. Bought Easy Media Creator 2009 from Roxio to replace the older version from 2008, hoping that it would work better with Vista. Program was very slow and crashing, did not notice any changes to the software except the new cover and graphics.
The program was identical. I also forgot about the 32 and 64 bit headache. Another grab for money?! Unable to do my holiday videos and media files, I switched to Windows 7.
This Roxio program would not even start on my Windows after downloading it and I was prompt to buy the upgrade to Roxio Creator 2010 from their website and to spend another 100 $. I am speechless. On top of that my digital camera Canon Power Shot, one of the best on market was not compatible, because the driver was not recognized and so is the installed software Zoombrowser I got used to and loved it. Another device would not work was the CapWiz, needed to transfer old analog files on HD and to make them digital. Another setback! There is no Outlook Express, so I am now stuck and start hating all this Windows and Creators.
It is unbelievable how much money is asked for a new software and how little is made in effort to make it user friendly. I do not care about new appearances in software. I do not care about a fancy cover!
I want a program that works, is compatible and not irritating, because I do not get paid for my lost time, like those messing up already good features in already existing and popular programs. Get rid off the bad stuff, improve it, add new and keep it the way it was originally designed to serve the people. I have switched to Incredimail – paid 29 $ for life – years ago. I like it and find it very practical, it has an extremely relyable backup and transfer feature. However, for all those who do not want to pay, I sincerely advice to install and use Mozilla applications instead. They are legally for free, work well, and Mozilla provides a backup-feature.Anyway, I also advice to avoid all new versions of any microsoft programs unless you do not really have a problem with the old one.
They are made uniquely for you to spend money!. I help senior citizens with computers and wish that Microsoft had included a basic e-mail program with System 7. I personally use Outlook so no problem. My wife wants Incredimail on hers and I experimented and found it will work on System 7. I will probably recommend Thunderbird to senior citizens since it has a rather plain page and shouldn’t be much of a learning curve for them coming from Outlook Express. Windows Live Mail seems awkward. I didn’t have much trouble converting from Vista as long as I paid attention to getting 64 bit downloads.
That was more of a concern than moving to System 7 with printers, scanners, etc. I replaced Vista with 7 because it was part of the computer purchase; took forever, between back-up,and download; it was O.K. EXCEPT that everything is tied to Windows Live; so that the startup suddenly was a slowup; and the contacts from OE got all fouled up; took ages to alphabetize, and then it insisted on first names first even when it was set for last namesso I did the only sensible thing; dumped it out, went back to Vista, and windows mailmuch more manageable, and way faster.Windows Live arrogates to itself grabbing everything first.I don’t see how that’s improvement. Hello Leo — We love your advice. I have one suggestion — I have Word 97 for typing letters and have tried and tried to get someone to update so each time I am looking up the subject of my letters the search always goes back to the beginning (I have 350 letters in it)so it takes me a long time to find Apples and then have to go to the beginning to get to the Thermostat letters. My Xerox Memorywriter was easier than Word as it had a quick “Find” key on it.
See what you can do! I have called and written to Microsoft 5 times. Best regards.
Windows Live Mail is NOT a direct replacement for Outlook Express. You buy a new computer with Windows 7 and Office 2007 student/home edition. All well and good BUT this edition does not include Outlook 2007. Fair enough – so you download and install Windows Live Mail and set it up. Again, still all seems fine.
AND THEN you type a newslatter in Word 2007 – select send as an email attachment – and it doesn’t work. Windows Live Mail doesn’t have the MAPI engine (I hope that I have got this bit right) that was included in Outlook Express and Outlook.Instead you have to save work and then attach it to your email afterwards.
So the net result of a massive up-grade and expense is that a job that took two steps – write and send – now requires five steps – write, save, open email, attach and send.Windows Live Mail is also alone in having plain text tool bars and frankly feels unpleasant by contrast to Office 2007 with its ribbon approach or any of the earlier/other icon driven email progs.Microsoft seemed to have allowed themselves to be split into competing teams in a way that Apple would never do. I was searching for Outlook Express to use in Windows 7 and came accross this site. I have been using Windows Live mail and it is alot like OE but I have come accross a snag and I can’t find anyone to help me with it.
I can receive all my mail but can’t under any circumstances send anything out. It just stays in my outbox and tries each time it’s turned on. It is very frustrating as I would use it all the time. I don’t want to set up another email address somehwere else. I like what I have but can’t mail out. Could anyone HELP me, please.
What if you don’t want a live sign in, don’t want to be part of the microsoft ” we have your identity” either. What if you don’t want your stuff stored by microsoft. Don’t want to have someone out there trying to live chat with me when i just want my mail. Why would I wan’t to have my mail server settings held by them.why would i wan’t the security risk of a messaging client.What about if the chineese compromise the live servers and get your data which you are being forced to give them acess to by setting up live mail client.They are just doing it so you have mail and a facebook style thing all in one, maybe they want the facebook traffic and this is how they trick you into it. Personaly i don’t eat that facebook/ myspace type activity. Hi Leo, Hope you don’t take offense to this,but the following statements are not correct:Quote:”Summary: Windows Mail has been removed from Windows 7, along with several other applications.
We’ll look at where to find their replacements.And also here -Q&A – Quote:” You say you don’t recommend using Windows Mail on Windows 7. Can you tell us why you don’t recommend it?Your answer:”Has nothing to do with recommending. It’s not available. Windows Live Mail is, but Windows Mail is not.” 17-Feb-2010Windows Mail was NOT removed from Win7 – it’s only hidden and not active.You can reinstate Windows Mail with a few tricks.or here.these are only 2 of many covering this subject.Hope you’ll vary your statements to reflect reality,rather than outright claiming that Windows mail is NOT on Win7.Pete.
Some manufacturers preload Windows Live Mail on their new computers, so check before you start downloading.I have set up Windows Live mail for quite a few customers migrating from XP to Windows 7, and most of them are quite happy with the change. A few miss the identities feature, but with a few rules, you can set Windows Mail up to deliver messages from different email addresses to different folders. Most of the time, my customers are happy with that setup, and usually comment that it is faster than switching identities.Elizabeth.

I spent 3 weeks trying to get Thunderbird to work on my ISP, and finally gave up. It makes a huge difference who you have! I have Comcast.net and Thunderbird has huge problems with comcast because of the authentication codes along with multiple servers with slightly different names. It doesn’t stop there, the Help instructions for Thunderbird are not even a replica of the screens you are looking at!
Thunderbird Help doesn’t even know what Thunderbird screens look like! I’m now using Outlook with windows 7 and am much happier!I still miss my Outlook Express, but I caution anyone trying to convert to Thunderbird if you ISP is Comcast.net! Seemed like each new day was a different authentication problem. How can you open a new email in Windows Live Mail – maximized (each and every time)?Windows 7 – Windows Live Mail has replaced Outlook Express – sadly, whenever i open a brand new email – it does not open maximized – worse, it opens all over the place and is difficult to find, to see, and worse, needs to be moved over (centered) or maximized – each and every time.
I tried the usual tricks (grab the edge, resize, reposition and “file exit” in the hopes of saving this as a default. I can’t find a tweak or a registry edit that will force new emails to open maximized. Don’t bother suggesting other email clients (applications). And Thunderbird has its own problems for the visually impaired. Since we were forced to buy a new computer we were very disappointed to find we had lost Outlook Expres with windows 7.
We heard we can get it back under a new name —Windows Live Mail. Is this true and if so how do we get it. As stated above, we too want nothing but our outlook back.We were so used to it and it was quite user friendly!!My husband has Parkinson Disease and just can’t get used to new e-mail systems. We REALLY miss Outlook!!Thank you for any help you can give.
Microsoft should make it an option for those with serious reasons to be able to keep their accustomed system.It should never be forced on people to change,especially on those with illness or handicap! Thank you, Carol Schuman. I just bought a laptop that has Windows 7 and have a Palm Treo phone that uses a Windows system, however, I am unable to sync my phone to my laptop because my phone uses Outlook and my computer has the Windows Live. Sprint is clueless on how to help me solve this issue and I have tried downloading my contact and calander to Windows live on my phone (which still didnt work), but even then I still cant sync it to my computer because it reads and error message that Outlook has not yet been installed. Ive talked to multiple people at Sprint and have tried to read through forums. Please HELP!. Hi,I’ve just upgraded to microsoft 2010, had been using both microsoft outlook and outlook express to run 2 separate email accounts.
I had no idea that express was no longer provided. So i have all my contacts/emails from my microsoft outlook, but I have nothing from my outlook express!!I’m hoping you can help, I can’t seem to launch express or find it anywhere, I had hundreds of important emails I just hope they haven’t been deleted forever.Any help on where I can find them and import them would be an absolute god send as I’m freaking out!. Hi,The beauty of Outlook Express was that I could use rules to set up private rooms (subfiles in inbox) where writers could privately critique works. Also I could easily transfer text from Word to and from Outlook Express into the body of the message.
These functions were ideal for writers. Since I had my computer cleaned because of a virus infection, I have not been able to get back my old email address, which was ATT.com. The problem is, an online email will not perform the rules for creating the folders I need. Is there an email address I can get that will enable me to perform that function? Thanks for any help you can give. I am now using Windows 7; transferred my contact list just fine and am getting MOST of my e-mail from my three mail addresses.
I have one customer who is using MSN mail and g mail. I receive her g mail just fine. I am NOT receiving her MSN mail on Windows 7 BUT am receiving them on my i-phone!I think I read that i-phone gathers mail from Outlook Express. It is possible that I am not receiving other customers or friends e-mail as well. Does Windows Mail Live have any issues with this kind of problem? And why would mail from a customer using MSN not be accepted by Windows Mail live.
She was not ever put in a blocked file (I checked that first thing). @SharonWhenever you run Outlook it makes itself the default email program. If you run Outlook Express you should get a message saying that Outlook Express isn’t your default mail client. Would you like to make it your default mail client?
If you check the box OE will become the default. But any time you run Outlook it will automatically make itself the default mail client. As for the missing email, perhaps they were downloaded by Outlook and cleared from the server. In that case they should still be in Outlook. @Ivy Smith,The issue is not with your email address, but with the program your computer uses to download the email and with the nature of downloading itself.
Downloading email takes it off the online server and saves it locally on your computer. It can then only be accessed on another computer or device with some fancy networking or syncing. AND that networking and syncing will not be possible because Windows 7 does not support Outlook Express anymore.Your best solution is to contact your email provider and see if they have an online solution for you so you can access your email online.Here’s an article that might help make it clear:. “Can I use Windows Live Mail.EXACTLY. like I used Outlook Express?” EXACTLY? No, they are different, yet similar email programs.
What I see people react to are not the featurelists that might show up in a side-by-side comparison but the nuances of how the user interface differs and individuals personal tastes and preferences.“Download all my mail from the mail server, onto my local drive?” Yes.“Access mail OTHER THAN Windows Live Mail?” “Windows Live Mail” is not a mail service, it’s a program, so in a sense this question makes no sense. I assume you mean “Access mail OTHER THAN Windows Live HOTMail?” in which case the answer is yes. Any POP3/IMAP/SMTP email providers can be configured. Outlook Express does not work on Windows Vista,Windows 7 or windows 8. The reason is that is because it is bundled with IE6 which is not compatible with Windows Vista or Windows 7.And when I copied the Outlook Express Program file from my XP to my Windows 7 computer,it did not work.But Windows Mail from Windows Vista does work on Windows 7 and Windows 8 if you copy all of the program files over from Windows Vista onto Windows 7 and Windows 8(and also the Msidcrl30.dill,dill file from Windows/ system 32 on Vista or Windows 7 into Windows/System 32 on Windows 8.)I now have Windows Mail running on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops.
And Windows Mail also runs alongside Windows Live Mail without any problems. Andrea Borman. I spent the last two days looking for the SEND command in Widows live mail.
Where is it????? Andrea in the post above, I tried to copy Win mail from my EXCELLENT Win-Vista computer to my wife’s new (used desktop) Win-7 64bit computer. I tried to copy Win-Mail to the program 86 file and the regular 64bit program file. Neither one worked. Don’t know how she did it, but she made it work.
So back to square one. I have Win-8, Win-7, Win-Vista and XP, all on different hard drives in my desktop computer (switchable). I like Win-Vista best. It has only crashed a few times in the last five years. That this is the “real” Outlook Express (which I think you confirmed). It sounds like another program completely that happens to have the same name, created by some third party.
That means it’s not the Outlook Express people are expecting, and it’s not “THE” Outlook Express that came from Microsoft. Perhaps you can share where you got it from? Or how it was installed? That will tell us a lot. It may or may not be a good email program.
It may or may not be a reasonable replacement for Outlook Express. It may or may not come from someone we can trust.But one thing we can say is that it’s very likely NOT Microsoft’s Outlook Express. Since I tried OE Classic I couldn’t care less about Outlook Express anymore. The original crashed on me for the last time, lost years of emails in DBX files and managed to recover only some. I’ve been using it for a few months now and in that time discovered OE Classic has great message rules, address book supports groups, identities, it can even edit/source/preview messages, has just about anything I had hoped for and keeps on improving. Recently got refurbished 4K monitor, it worked perfectly on that setup in Windows 10 (many older programs still have DPI scaling issues).
If MS would stop changing the look, features and feel of OE and just fix any problems with it, there wouldn’t be so many complaints from people who have to be constantly changing the way they work. I used OE for years with not one single problem. I was never the victim of freezes or crashes or anything else.
But since having to constantly upgrade, and now at the latest disaster – Windows 10 – I’ve had nothing but problems with just about everything. There is beauty and smooth sailing when things are kept simple. There is nothing wrong with simple! I’m just so fed up with all the so-called “improvements” that I wiped my computers and went all the way back to Vista. And it has nothing to do with being a Luddite. I don’t buy any of the arguments for “moving on” unless there is really something worth moving on to. I’m sick of constantly having to upgrade and accept the the ideas of someone else as to how I “have” to work now, and forcing me into spending money for something “NEW” when what I have already works fine.
What MS fails to do is make something we can really count on and work with, with pleasure. I honestly haven’t enjoyed email since I was forced to quit OE / Windows Mail. There needs to be a way to make what they started out with work well, and keep with it, without making drastic changes in interface and bloating it with features that people are unlikely to use. I tried those features, it just made for more work.
Human beings can’t take such constant, rapid change in how they do their work. They get overwhelmed, confused, stressed, enraged, which brings on a lot of other health and social effects now widely seen. Technology, even with it’s many benefits, has been a curse and will likely be our undoing. Before commenting please:.
