I just discovered a problem similar to one by Joseph Malet in another thread
here but did not want to interrupt his thread.
In my case I went to open some seldom used store folders and find that
approximately one third of my 20 folders are EMPTY, others OK going back
years. I am using XP Pro SP3 and OE6 version ending in 5512 and use in and
out box only for immediate viewing then move to permanent storage folders.
The empty folders only had 5 or so messages in them so not overloaded.
I have backups, not yet reviewed, and think I can recover but maybe what he
is seeing and what happened to me is a cause for worry about some XP update?
Some empty - some not is strange. Cannot imagine how I could have caused
that.
