Sounds like he's been storing all his messages in the inbox for years...you
know the drill '-)

Are you using Windows XP/SP2? Did this happen after your folders were
compacted?

Hi, I just started up Outlook Express only to find that a big chunk of
messages were missing from my inbox. I see ones from the past 5 days
and then in jumps to ones from last year and all the previous years.
Can anybody tell me what happened to the rest of my mail? How can I
get it back? I didn't alter any settings or folders so this is very
puzzling. Thanks!
