I quite often have this crappy program that I use so much let me down.
Newsgroups often stop working and need to be reset, and sometimes whole newsserver and email accounts just disappear for no reason. My main email accounts are Hotmail and MAPI, so this is more annoying than disastrous, but... recently my Local Folders disappeared. All my Sent Items, archived post folders and Inbox just went! Can I salvage something from the .dbx files. Please tell me yes.. Cheers ss.

Why it happens:
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/probl...s.htm#mailgone http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/...orruption.mspx Recovering data: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DBXtract http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx DBXtend (additional functionality) http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtend/Default.aspx DBXpress (faster, more powerful, with even greater functionality) http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx OEX (OE Enhancement Program) http://www.oehelp.com/OEX/Default.aspx ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Avoid Such Corruption in Futu - 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 [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://insideoe.tomsterdam.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. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), Aumha.org VSOP, DTS-L.org Synapse Syndrome wrote: I quite often have this crappy program that I use so much let me down.
