I have long ago moved the storage folder from where it was on my C: drive to a different drive and folder named Outlook Express and there I created separate folders for each of the email account I happen to log into. This one not only uses the same db but I have it configured in Windows 8.1 so that it goes to the same drive / folder/ sub-folder where my other email is stored from my OE in XP. It is not a look alike or the OE Classic progam I have have seen that does not use the same database as the original OE6. I have it on my desktop computer here at home ( Windows 8.1 PRO) and at work (Windows 10 Pro ). Well, it has been revamped and now works in Windows 8.1 AND Windows 10.
Read Microsoft Outlook Express book. A well-written 32-bit app works fine on Windows 10, but Outlook Express doesn't, probably also because some Windows features aren't made backward compatible.Amazon.in - Buy Microsoft Outlook Express book online at best prices in India on Amazon.in. This no longer appears to be the case. If I save or delete email while running in 8.1 and then boot back into XP, and run the OE that email is all right there as it was when in 8.1Outlook Express was developed when the ActiveX control was highlighted by Microsoft as cutting edge technology. Result is no matter if booted into XP or to 8.1 when I run Outlook Express it gets the mail that I have saved and looks exactly like it did when I had last used it in XP.
Now I can read / write any info into the documents and folders I had before and never had to move anything in the process. My Documents also don't reside on the normal C: drive but a whole physical different hard drive in my desktop and when I had 8.1 PRO installed all I had to do was create shortcuts to Adobe, Word, Excel, My Picture, etc etc in the appropriate places and presto. Now, when I installed Windows 8.1 Pro on my computer I did it in a clean partition and created a dual boot scenario. In XP when I "switched" accounts it would bring up the account that I had created and moved in it's entirety. It also worked very well on my HP laptop that has Windows 8.1 HOME on it and then I upgraded it recently to Windows 10 HOME and still works just as good.The reason I use this program and not something else is because I dual boot I have long ago moved all the email accounts to another drive and folder, their OWN folder Outlook Express Databases, and then in that folder created sub folders for each of the email accounts. I use it on my desktop at home that dual boots XP as well as Windows 8.1 Pro.
This requires just a bit of registry tweaking as after you establish a new folder, let's say D:\Outlook Express Databases\"name of folder"\ you go into where the new email account is stored, generally in this area (use your own username and the strange long string will,of course be different: C:\Users\Gibbs\AppData\Local\Identities\\Microsoft\Outlook Express YOU NEED to make the checkmark "Show Hidden Files" available to find this BTW. I store multiple email accounts in my computer in a separate drive/folder called "Outlook Express Databases" and in there the name of the account. If I change it in one OS it is also changed when I boot up in the other OS.2 different OS, but the nice thing is all the personal documents, files, emails are "shared" between the two since they have common grounds between the two.Well, here is my workaround to the above concern. Beauty of this is when I check my email for any account, it pulls up the dbx files and folders from the one in that separte drive and no matter whether I am in Windows 8.1 or XP (as I am in now) no email is having to be lost or doubled up.
It will be there for any future needs.It seems only major updates affect the loosing of Outlook Express. From now on when you open Outlook Express it will get and store all that info as well as add any other new folders added right in that external drive location.Once it is all working well just go back into "regedit.exe" Registry editor, go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER and click on "Identities" and right click and "export" that whole affair, and I suggest export it to the Outlook Express folder you just created in the new external drive/folder. Merely copy all these files and then paste then in the new location of your "D" or wherever your drive and email you wish to reside and you have the files saved to the new location.Then, when you go into the registry regedit.exe you will find, under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER a new folder called Identities and go down the folder list to Outlook Express and then 5.0 in that right hand pane is the "store folder" edit that to reflect your NEW location, D:\Outlook Express Databases\"name of folder"\ (as an example) and exit regedit.
Once OE is restored from that program, just run that saved exported files you saved of the identities, and that will have all the info needed to put the store folder back into the system again.I indeed paid for the RunAsXp version about two years ago. *.txt in that external drive if you need them. Keep the 3 key codes sent to you as a text file.
I managed to build my own OE package with the XP SP3 file versions that does not get uninstalled and that does not require a registration code. I wonder if I could ever import this into another email client without lost of the tree structure and/or emails.Because I could not accept that I had to reinstall the RunAsXp version after each Win 10 update or upgrade, I kept using XP to send and receive emails till I had no other choice than to migrate to Windows 10. Also, during the past 10 years I created a huge complex tree of folders and sub folders in the left pane resulting in more than 8000 *.dbx files ( 9,75 GB in total ). I do not need more features than what OE offers to me. It excels by its simplicity, ease of use and runtime speed.
As per test, I upgraded my test PC from version 1909 to 20H2 and unfortunately the installation using my own method was removed despite I do not provide an uninstaller executable. You can import dbx files into the windows 10 mail programWindows 10 does indeed remove Outlook Express during a major upgrade. All *.dbx files are now stored on my laptop with Win 10 and I can still access them via my home network from my old desktop with XP as installed OS.Fwiw.
If there is enough interest, I will reveal all details about my own installer and all my experiences on the web page that I mentioned before. Some functions do not work in XP SP3 compatibility mode and do work in Win10 or Vista mode, but others do work in XP SP3 mode and stop working in Win10/Vista mode. The re-installation using my own Outlook Express package takes only about one minute and entering the account and settings from the backup *.reg files is no effort.There are however some annoying pitfalls. The user settings and the account settings can easily be separately extracted from the registry as two different *.reg files, and it is always a good idea to have these as backup. Win 10 does however not remove OE during a cumulative update ( a KB update ), at least when using my own installer. The message store with all *dbx files was left untouched.
