  • Tips to Recover Deleted Emails in Outlook Express

    Tips to Recover Deleted Emails in Outlook Express

    Every folder in your Outlook Express mailbox has a connected database with a .DBX file extension. Thus given ‘N’ folders in your Outlook Express mailbox, you also have ‘N’ databases linked to each folder, such as Inbox.dbx, SentItems.dbx, and so on. Another way of stating this is to say that Outlook Express generates separate .DBX files for each folder in your Outlook Express mailbox. This explains why all received email is stored in the Inbox.dbx file, all sent items in the SentItems.dbx file, all contacts in the Contacts.dbx file, and so forth. Individual DBX database files serve as the repository for your Outlook mailbox data.

    It’s no wonder that .dbx files are essential to proper operation of Outlook express, then. But occasionally, you may observe that a majority or sometimes even all of your emails to be missing from your Inbox, Sent Items, or some other folder.

  • How to Remove Duplicate Items from ‘Sent Items’ Folder in Outlook?

    How to Remove Duplicate Items from ‘Sent Items’ Folder in Outlook?

    Outlook is a place where you create your to-do list, maintain calendar of events, and access your work emails, and if you want your personal emails like email messages of Gmail there, then you need not to worry. Outlook is a versatile email client and with various other useful features, it facilitates you to set up your Gmail account in Outlook very easily. After setting up your Gmail profile in Outlook, you can access all incoming and outgoing emails in its web interface as well because they are also stored and archived there. However, this feature of Outlook at times creates troubles when you start getting duplicate emails in “Sent Items” folder.

    This situation occurs as you are sending emails via SMTP server in Gmail and configured Outlook in a way that it saves the copy of every sent item. Since emails routed via SMTP server are saved in the ‘Sent Items’ folder and as you have checked the option to save the copy of sent item in Outlook, thus a copy of every sent email is saved by Gmail and other by Outlook. However, neither the recipient nor the web interface of the Gmail gets two copies of this sent item.

    Best way to work around such situations is sending emails through the SMTP server of Outlook (i.e. email client) instead via SMTP server of Gmail. Other way could be disabling the option to save a copy of sent items in Gmail account.

    FixMeStick Review – A USB Malware Removal Solution

    Every once in a while I review products that interests me, especially products that are related to security. For many, anti-malware and anti-virus products tend to seem complex to use. Updating and scanning using such products can be intimidating, although newer versions tend to perform these functions automatically. The one thing that most anti-malware products have in common is that they required Windows to run in order to function. Unfortunately, when Windows runs so does the malware and viruses that may have infected the computer

    What if an anti-malware product is available that will automatically update itself, and then perform a full system scan outside of Windows? What if this product requires you to only run a single file within Windows, and then click a single button and have everything done for you? This is what interested me about a particular product called FixeMeStick.

    Feeling confident, I decided to check it do a quick test on my iPhone. Hey, it worked for Safari on my Macbook so, technically speaking, it should work on my iPhone as well, as it is just a mobile version of Safari. I got to the part of my website where I upload photos, and the upload button was disabled (grayed out). I thought there must be a simple fix to this. That’s where I was dead wrong.
