Some senders are mailing me .jpg photos, but OE can't open. Some sender's
..jpg photos I can open.

I can't move all mails to a new folder in OE. Some mails I can.

Can anyone tell me why?

Start by compacting.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

And backup often.

Regarding the JPG images that you can't open, what exactly happens? Any
error message?

Can you do a File, Save Attachments on them?

If the attachment names are faded or OE says that it has removed access
to the attachments, then they might not be real JPG files. They might
even be viruses. Do you know the senders? Did you ask for the images?

Yes, I can save the pictures to the HardDisk and then open, but I used to be
able move the mails with .jpg-files in a Outlook Express from Inbox-folder
to a new folder and even open the pictures in Outlook Express without saving
then first.. Now it just says "Cant move" and "Error". No error numbers.

I know the sender and they are photos. When he sends photos to my Gmail,
there is no problems to open them without saving.

And the problem is with only one friend of mine. Everyone else sending me
..jpg phos are opening normally.

He is using Outlook2007 and I used to receive his photos without any kind of
problems before and no other friends of his are completing. Strange...

I didn't realize it was from one person. If they are using Outlook's Rich
Text Format, (RTF), OE cannot read it. Have them use HTML or Plain Text
format.

If you still can't move e-mails to other folders, that is probably a damaged
identity.

Do the file names from this person actually end .JPG or is it perhaps
..JPEG or .JPE?

There is a separate Windows File Association for each of those. You'll
get the no file association warning in OE if the file association is
missing the OPEN action. OE uses the OPEN action rather than the
Default action (which might be SHOW, DISPLAY, etc.) that gets used when
you double click a saved file.

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.
