Deletion from OE6 folders do not appear
in the Deleted Items folder.
Any help to sort it out would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Deleted Items is probably corrupt, especially if you have been using it to
archive messages. If there are any messaged in deleted Items you wish to
save, move them out of the garbage pail and into a local folder you create.
Then:

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write
the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options |
View.

With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question {Deleted
Items.dbx} and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you
open OE.

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status
Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the
compacting is completed.

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

appear in the Deleted Items folder?
Any help please?

Newsgroup messages bypass the Deleted Items folder. Why do you want to save
things in Deleted Items? You're just going to screw up your Message Store
sooner or later an lose all your messages. If you want to save something,
move it to a user created folder. Don't delete it.
