Default Switching identities in Microsoft outlook express 6
OE Help about: What versions of MSOE.DLL, INETCOMM.DLL and DIRECTDB.DLL
are displayed here, Susan (e.g., v6.0.1234.5678)?

sigh I give up. One or more of current identities may be damaged,
especially if one is the default Main Identity.

Start the with Main Identity first: Try one or more of your accounts in a
new Named Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is
well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from
the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File
Identities Manage Identities).

To 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://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.

- WinXP SP2 only: If your machine is fully up-to-date at Windows Update,
installing the following patch (KB918766) will help to avoid such data loss
in the futu
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...2-98af2256ccc3

This patch will be included in the next Cumulative Update for Outlook
Express/WinXP SP2.

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

Is the machine fully patched at Windows Update?

I
clear the page and try to restart outlook express, but it does not

I have to restart my computer to get into outlook express. WHY?
