I have used OE for years.
I have three paid-for Hotmail accounts coming into OE, have for years.
I have two GMail accounts coming into OE.

So many problems occurring:
1. Mail disappears from Inboxes - There are no items in this view though
there are 100's of emails.
2. Unable to delete one or a group of emails from Inboxes.
3. Looking at an email, a message pops up that it is unable to send
receipt, and no receipt was requested.

I have delete folders from my Store Folder to clean them out, and the
problems remain.

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

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

====================================


Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File
Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is well, (1) compact all
folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into
the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File Identities Manage
Identities).

Oh my goodness, thank you for several new-to-try options. Be sure I will be
incorporating your ideas. I appreciate your taking time to respond in depth
as you have, PA Bear!
