Hi,

Recently when I search my OE folder for email in the "From field", it
didn't
return all the emails from a particular sender but just part of it (Ex. 10
out of 25). Is there a known problem or is there something wrong with that
particular .dbx file? Can anyone suggest a way for me to troubleshoot it?
Another question is what is the maximum size for a particular folder? I
had 2
coworkers that lost all the emails in the Inbox folder, and when look at
the
OE folders in windows explorer, OE created a new inbox.dbx folder and the
old
one has 2GB in size? Both had this problem and their inbox.dbx was 2GB in
size. Is 2GB the max size allowable for any OE dbx file?

Thanks,
Alan

Bruce has given you good and useful advice.
In OE click Help | About. What is the complete version number for
Directdb.dll?
What version of Windows do you have?

2 GB is the max size for any OE DBX file. Actually, it's an operating
system limit, although under some circumstances a file can be much larger.
