Or Outlook Express denies starting up! How do you repair Outlook Express? Here we will try to fix all these strange situations. In Outlook Express, email losses are largely attributed to DBX corruption. Outlook Express stores email messages in databases that have a .dbx file extension. Each Outlook Express folder (even subfolders) has a database associated with it; thus if you have 10 folders, you have 10 databases. The databases have the same name as the folders thus the drafts folder has a database called drafts.dbx. Therefore, we need to repair DBX file in order to repair Outlook Express.

There are possibly two initial ways to repair DBX file database. The first method is the compacting method and the second is transfer method.

Using the Compacting Utility

Try to compact and remove any inconsistency or redundant information within the DBX file by the following steps.

  • Click Work Offline on the File menu to terminate any transmission
  • In the Folder list, click on Outlook Express to ensure that no email or news folder is opened
    Close the Folder list
  • On the File menu, select Folder, and then select Compact All Folders.
  • If an error occurs, close Outlook Express, re-open and repeat the process

Transfer Method

This method tries to move all emails from a corrupted folder into a working folder. For this:

  • Open Outlook Express and right click on Local Folders and select New Folder
  • Type in: backup and hit Enter
  • Select all the emails in the corrupted folder [control + A]
  • Right click on the highlighted mails and select Move To Folder
  • Select the backup folder and click OK
  • Delete the corrupted folder and rename the backup folder to the corrupted folder’s name

If you are lucky and Outlook Express is not highly corrupted then you will get back your emails and data. Though, in cases of severe corruption, the folder may not be recognized and displayed. Then you need to repair the corrupted DBX file using 3rd party recovery programs.

Instead of showing the embedded images, it displays a red X mark in the place of image and prompts the user with the following message:

“Some pictures have been blocked to help prevent the sender from identifying your computer. Click here to download pictures.”

This message is displayed right over the preview window of the email message. When you click this link, Outlook Express displays the related images. But why Outlook Express doesn’t display the images by-default.
You don’t need to look out for a possible fix dbx solution here, as the file is not corrupt. The reason behind such behavior of Outlook Express is the new Block images and allied content in HTML email security option. This option is selected to work by default in Outlook Express after you install Windows XP.

Also, this option gives you the flexibility to decide whether you want to avoid viewing the image (which might contain offensive material) or you wish to view the image. This option also minimizes the junk email messages that you get. However, if you wish to disable Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail option and fix dbx to display images, then you can do so, by following the instructions given below:

1.Click Start > Programs > Outlook Express
2.On the Tools menu, click Options and click Security tab
3.Deselect the Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail option
4.Click OK to exit

Note that the Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail option is enabled as a part of security feature in Outlook Express to save you from the horror of junk emails or spam and so it is recommended that this option must be turned on so that the profile owner downloads messages only from trusted sources.

Only messages from trusted sources can keep you away from Outlook Express corruption issues and so that you don’t have to fix DBX due to inaccessibility, damage or corruption. However, if the corruption strikes your Outlook Express database, we suggest you to rely on repair DBX file to fix dbx issues that make your email items inaccessible. Fix DBX tool is an eminent tool to repair DBX files and recover important email items from corrupt or inaccessible DBX files.

If dbx files are not protected against viruses and Trojans, then there will always be a fear of corruption. Once the dbx files are hit by viruses all emails, contacts, notes, tasks, etc. stored in them can become inaccessible.

Most of the computer users turn Firewall on to protect the data stored on their computer from being damaged due to virus or Trojan attack. Those, who think that turning on Firewall can save their computer data from virus contamination, are wrong. Turning on the Firewall will only generate an alert whenever a virus or Trojan enters the computer by any media like email attachment, Internet, USB drive, etc. but does not provide any security against the virus. Like other data stored on computer, DBX files can also come across some sort of corruption.

Once the dbx file has been corrupted, you may need to deal with abrupt behavior of Outlook Express like, you can access the email folders but cannot view their content, some error messages start appearing, etc. One of the common error messages that often occur when you access the damaged Inbox.dbx file is:

“An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: SMTP, Port: 0, Secure SSL: No, Error 0×800c0131Ce problem may be due to corruption or lack of Folders.dbx file.”

Unfortunately Microsoft does not provide any tool to fix corrupted dbx file. But, if you want to access your important emails, notes, contacts, tasks, drafts, etc. back as soon as possible, then you must have to repair the dbx file. You might be thinking that if Microsoft has not provided any tool to fix corrupted dbx file, then how you will do so.

Without third party dbx repair tools, it could be very difficult or even impossible to repair corrupted dbx file. If you have come across the aforementioned error message or facing abrupt behavior of Outlook Express then you can rely on any third party email recovery tool to fix or repair corrupted dbx file and recover important emails, contacts, drafts, and other related items.

Kernel for Outlook Express repair is a wonderful third party tool that helps you repair corrupted dbx file in just few minutes.
