Frank, I want to do the other way around, to retrieve that email, not clearing the sent items. Is it possible?

The compacting will not do anything to stored messages, but with a file of
that size, it's most likely the file is corrupted. First make a copy of it somewhere other than in the message store folder and download either DBXpress (recommended) or DBXtract (much, much slower on a file of that size) from www.oehelp.com The compacting only recovers wasted space that the previously deleted messages occupied. Do not use the computer for other tasks while compacting or shut down Outlook Express or you risk losing all stored messages. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...8-1171988A62D6 Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.

Surely 4 MB is not a dangerously large OE folder?

Well, if he's got a 4 meg dbx file with no messages in it according to OE,
its either uncompacted or its corrupted. If its corrupted, the compaction may shrink it down (and erase all the messages in doing so). steve "jt3" wrote in message ...

DBXtract should work on it, if its really got messages in it. Its only $5.

Thanks. I have some up around 20 and was hoping they weren't unsafe. ;-)
