Repairing Outlook Express Mail Database
By Eugine Kharinskiy
Numerous things can go wrong with your email when you use Outlook Express extensively. The cure depends on the cause. This tutorial explains the various problems and explains a solution to recover your Outlook Express mailboxes.
There are many issues and bugs in Outlook Express, and there are other programs in Windows working at the same time as you use Outlook Express. An application crash or a system failure or a power outage can cause data corruption in the mail database used by Outlook Express. Database corruption can also happen because of a hardware malfunction or as a result of a virus attack. One can accidentally delete an important message from Deleted Item.
A known bug in Outlook Express limits the size of its mail database to just 2 GB. If you use Outlook Express extensively and don't sort your mail to a number of different folders, you'll hit the size limitation sooner rather than later. When you do, Outlook Express will not be able to recognize its own mail database, and will fail to show your mail.
Damaged or inaccessible hard drives are also a headache. While you could simply reformat the damaged partition and continue using it without a problem, all data stored on that disk, including email, would be lost.
In order to get access to your mail, you have to repair the damaged Outlook Express database. SoftAmbulance for Outlook Express offered by http://softambulance.com/ can fix Outlook Express databases no matter what caused the damage. Virus attacks and system crashes, crashed Outlook Express and damaged hard disks are not a problem. Even if you can't access the disk, SoftAmbulance for Outlook Express can still scan its surface, locate, recover and fix damaged Outlook Express databases.
In case of an email erased from Deleted Items, the solution is even simpler. When you delete a message from Deleted Items, it is not erased immediately. Instead, it is simply marked as removed; Outlook Express will not wipe or overwrite its content until the next scheduled optimization or manual compression is performed on its mail database. By default, Outlook Express only maintains its mail database once every 100 runs or so; chances are high you'll be able to undelete the deleted message before the maintenance operation is performed.
SoftAmbulance for Outlook Express undeletes deleted messages quickly, easily and completely automatically.
