Compact messages
Windows version? Is the machine fully-patched at Windows Update?
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 [not available 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 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. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin; DTS-L.org Bobm0001 wrote: About every four or five times I follow the compact messages directions, I lose 1-6 months of messages in either the deleted or send file. Each time, I swear I'll never compact messages again, but OE wears me down by forcing me to reject the compacting. Can I retreive the lost messages? How do I backup the messages so I don't lose them permanently?
