General OE Caveats: - 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".

I cannot open Outlook Express. The last thing that happened was upon closing a dialogue box appeared asking if I wanted to compress emails to save disk space. I clicked yes. Since then I cannot open it at all. I have imported all addresses and emails to Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird and can use them but not Outlook Express. Any suggestions please? |
