I have cleaned up the temp file in IE 7 and restored my right-click options.
Thank you.

I have a huge archive of old mail dating back to 1999. Each year is
archived in a separate folder, named archive/past years/2006/inbox for
example. In addition, in the archive folder I have an inbox folder for the
current year that I move messages into regularly from the everyday inbox.
Ditto for sent messages. So the daily inbox and sent messages folders
remain small.

This problem began after a compacting. I have copies of the folders on
another computer, so I tried deleting all but one message from all the past
years with no help. Up til this problem started my archive method has been
working great for 8 years. Any other ideas? Is there a way to have OR
rebuild the indexes and so on if I copy the backup copied of inbox(1),
inbox(2) and so on back into my store directory?

Thanks again,
Bill

Problem #2:

For IE6:

Clear the Temporary Internet Files: In IE | Tools | Internet Options |
Delete Files button. And check the box to Delete Offline content.

For IE7:

Tools | Internet Options | General Tab | Browsing History | Delete
Temporary Internet Files.

Internet Explorer saves images as bitmaps (.bmp Files):

Problem #1. May just need some tidying up.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move
your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything
until the compacting is completed.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems
such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program
will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background
and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

And backup often.

This is a great two click program:

Hi everyone ...

I have two problems with OE6 on Windows XP SP2.

For some reason, it now takes about 30 seconds to display the first
message. The messages download fine, but when it gets ready to display it
the system appears to just hang for almost 30 seconds, with no network
activity. Once it's displayed that first message, other messages appear
quickly as they should.

Second problem is right-click to "Save As ..." I no longer get any
options except to save it as "untitled.bmp", which I can rename, but I'm
trying to save .jpg images. If I click on the paperclip and select Save
Attachments it presents me with the correct filename and extension to
save it to. I want to restore my right-click ability to save it as named
and as type.

Thanks for any guidance here.
