OH! I am surprised that someone else read this thread and found my
inquiry, so deeply & so long after the thread was started. I had ASSUMED
that DGUESS & PABEAR are the same person.

Yes, things are muddy.

Thanks for your advice.

OT? Over Time?

[My comment in brackets was OT and intended for rock995. When another
poster with similar problems "piggybacks" onto someone else's thread,
the waters can get muddied. For example, while your problem involved
the Local folder "Sent Items", rock995's involved the Hotmail-dedicated
"Send Items" folder which has much different properties than the Local
folder of the same name.]

Avoid Such Corruption in Futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them
to local folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also
cause such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional
protection. --

After compacting the folders in OE, the messages in "sent
items" and other folders are not visible. How do I obtain
access to them?

Thanks for your attention to my problem.
