We get quite a few emails regarding Outlook Express problems and troubleshooting. So I will cover some of the common Outlook Express errors that you might encounter.

There are some common categories of errors in Outlook Express, so I will break the errors down into their appropriate category.

Problems Sending Mail in Outlook Express

Sending email in Outlook Express can return various error messages and these are very common. First start by checking that you are properly connected to the internet. It is amazing how many people try to send without first being connected. Also note that some errors may be on the other users end – such as: user not found, mailbox not found etc.

Error 550 – Relaying Not Allowed
Can’t Send Mail, No Sender Specified
Mal-formed message ID: Line 3 References too long

Errors Opening Outlook Express or Outlook Express Crashing

This is quite a common problem in Outlook Express and in most cases the crashing is due to a corrupt .DBX file. These files are the database files for Outlook Express and store all the mail messages. If these files become corrupt, Outlook Express can fail to open or crash.

To avoid these errors it is important to compact your mailboxes on a regular basis. If OE wont open at all, you may need to move the DBX files until you get OE open.

In some cases, you may also have registry errors associated with Outlook Express and your mail files. You will need to run a registry repair tool to fix this common problem.

Error codes:

0x800c012e
0x800c0131
C0000006h

DBX File Errors

As mentioned above, the DBX files associated with Outlook Express can get corrupted over time. It is recommended to do regular compacting of inboxes to help avoid this problem. In certain situations you may need a special DBX repair tool. We will discuss more on that later.
