I use Oulook, but it is very similar to Outlook Express. Outlook comes with the Microsoft Office package, and is a much better program.\n\nOpen Outlook Expresss, and click on Tools, then Options. Now click on the Other tab, and you will see the AutoArchive feature in the middle. Click on AutoArchive, and uncheck the box that says AutoArchive ever ___ days.\n\nYou can change this setting to no more than 60 days, so if that isn't enough, just uncheck the box to turn it off.

Try mozilla firefox. It blocks all popups. http://www.mozilla.org/ \nScan your computer for spyware. Disable javascript in emails, because it may be some onmouseover script. If you are accessing email through POP, don't use outlook express. I prefer mozilla thunderbird.

You can ask the Outlook Express Team by emailing msoe@microsoft.com. Good Luck!

It's not an error message. Your computer is telling you that your settings prevent the use of ActiveX controls.  You can get rid of this message by going to Tools, Internet Options, Security tab.  Reset your security settings to "medium." That should get rid of the dialog box in most cases.

Look in c:&#92;documents and settings&#92;your user name&#92;local settings&#92;application data&#92;Microsoft&#92;outlook&#92;\n\nCopy that whole folder, though the one you mostly need is Outlook.PST (it should be the biggest)

Outlook Express stores messages in files with a *.dbx extension.  simply saving these files won't help.  You must EXPORT the folder, using File/Export, and I suggest saving it as a TEXT file. ( IMPORTANT!! REMEMBER WHERE YOU SAVE THE EXPORT FILE!! )....Once the text file is exported and saved, you can burn it to a flopy or other removable media, and then use IMPORT to load them back into OE later...\n\nThe process is not ' intuitive', but it is relatively simple.

If you are using outlook express, go to tools, options, security tab, see if the box next to "Do not allow attachment..." is checked, if yes uncheck it and click ok.

You will continue to spend too much time trying to beat this unless you setup a system that really works. S p a m s t e r s are constantly delivering messages under different user names, different subject and message content and different IP's. If you try to write rules or alerts for these, it will never end.\n\nIn Outlook Express:\n\nCreate folders for each contact. or generalize like:\nFamily\nFriends\nCo-Workers\netc.\n\nCreate a rule for that contact.\nWhen you receive email from someone you want, create a rule from that message.\n\nHighlight that email in your viewer\nClick on message tab\nCreate Rule from Message\nCheck "Where the from line contains people"\nCheck" Move it to the specified folder"\nClick 'specified' folder and select the folder you want this message to be filtered to.\n\nIf you continue to do this over time (a few minutes a day over the next month or so) the only email that will remain in your inbox will be unwanted or unsolicited messages. Holding the shift button down select the first email and then the last and blow all of them away simultaneously.\n\nThen, simply right click on Deleted Items and Empty 'Deleted Items' Folder. \n\nHope this helps!

Have you gone ahead and compacted the messages?  If you do, it should leave you alone for a while.

yahoo has one also that will alert you as well as outlook express. Yahoo messenger can do it if its running but the outlook you have to leave open all the time otherwise it doesn't notify you
