After checking I find that I even did that, Bruce, but there still seems to
be an issue, since I don't show the full amount of emails in my OE inbox,
which may have something to do with deleting my entire spam mail and
hopefully not the entire folder, 'm in the process of checking it out.

Well that sure will do it. w At least your carrier didn't give the
standard, "It's not our fault. It must be OE" response.

I still stand by what I posted as good practice for OE.

Except for "compacting", I'm practicing all of the recommended procedures.
Yes, I am also back in business, Bruce.
Thank you so very much. H.


Glad you got it resolved.

Bruce,

the fault lies not with OE in the least, it is with my carrier.
They didn't delete my spam mail, even though I did this in OE.
That was filling my mailbox to capacity (25MB) and disallowing any
more
incoming mail, which I wasn't aware of at all.
Now I'll have to wait and see what happens.

Move the messages and compact as per below. Send yourself a messages
and
see
if it works now.

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.

Since yesterday I am not receiving any new messages in OE6 (WinME).
Is there a total of messages kept in the "Local Folder?
If not, what could be the reason for "No new messages" in my Inbox?
My carrier is "Copper.Net".

Harry.
