Thank you DL. I just spoke to microsoft about upgrading directly to
Outlook 2007. My major problem in OE6 is I have thousands of emails.
(too many for that program, I assume)

Not at all. Outlook Express is fairly good aboiut handling a lot of
messages.

Whenever it compacts now, it
copies my emails to the recycle bin

Normal.

and causes an enormous amount of
problems in general on my computer(freezing, among others, not
recognizing commands) So...........I was told to use the outlook
program instead. Hence it's Office 2002. I have xp operating system
and my cpu is only two years old. I also cannot create shortcuts to
my desktop anymore from the web.............probably unrelated.

Outlook 2002 has limits on how mush it can handle as well.
