OE V 6 with SP2
 

Sometimes in the middle of working in OE the panels at right side of the
window go blank except for a message that 'messages cannot be displayed' .
This situation has just started and can usually be cleared by shutting down
OE and restarting it. !!

Grateful for ideas please,
Brett

Ensure that you have a view applied that is set to show all messages at

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.
