Sorry-Was going to wait to send this (send later) but it disappeared from my
Outbox.
Anyway,this is what I see after I've been perusing the newsgroups a while.
This just started occurring the last week or so & whenever it's about to
happen,the virtual memory for Outlook Express,according to Process
Explorer,is approaching 2,000,000k.
I removed some old entries that I had been saving in Drafts & compact all
folders regularly,but still no joy.
I know it can't be lack of memory since I have a gig of physical ram on this
machine(XP Home).
I'm not sure,but I think it started around the time I updated MSN Messenger
to 8.5 & it asked during installation if I wanted it to handle my default
email ,which I thought it meant Hotmail. While installing,the download
proceeded to remove the OE icon from my desktop & replaced it with 1 for
Windows Mail. I interrupted the install when the setup wizard for mail
started & when I did,the OE icon reappeared,along with an error message
about the interruption of the setup.
I used to be able to spend hours on the newsgroups,with no problems & now I
have to close OE & reopen it to be able to continue,till I approach the
2,000,000k mark.
Please help me with this as I have learned so much from these newsgroups (XP
General,mostly) but am quite new here in the OE group,& have not found
anything that relates to my dilemma.
~Gary

PS: This is /just/ a question, not a suggestion that Defender has anything
to do with the behavior. IOW, do NOT disable Defender.

Having the same problem - running Windows Vista Home Premium, with Windows
Mail. I'm not running Windows Defender, but am running McAfee.

Keep getting the "message could not be displayed" message when housekeeping
my Inbox and my local folders. Then find that the message header stays in the
Inbox, but you can't delete it!

Sharon Croome, UK

I'd be very suprised if it were the "same problem" as you're not running
Outlook Express in Vista, Sharon.
