Emails missing from Inbox of Outlook Express 6

Outlook Express 6 compacted my email messages last night, however when I
opened it this morning all messages (approximately 400) after 11/09/2007 are
missing from my Inbox. All other folders seem fine and new messages also
appear.

Re: Emails missing from Inbox of Outlook Express 6

Two things:

1. One should not store messages in the Inbox or Sent Items or you will,
as you have seen, lose messages.

2. Dump Outhouse Distress and get a real email program like Thunderbird.
You can get it at http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird. It will, if you so
desire, import all your email from Outhouse Distress. It has an
excellent junk filter and real time spell check. To back up T-Bird, all
you have to do is copy the identity in the Profile folder and you will
have backed up all your messages, rules and email accounts. You can also
get a plug in that will give you a calendar.

Outlook Express isn't part of the Office suite of application, but comes
with Internet Explorer. Perhaps post your query there for answers. Link
attached.

Re: Emails missing from Inbox of Outlook Express 6

I have exactly the same problem. Suddenly all emails from the inbox (OE
6 on XP) after mid 2008 vanished. Also if I send myself an email, it
says 1 email in Inbox, but when I look - its not there. This can be
repeated any number of times. Anybody got any ideas? - some of these
emails are important!! (By the way I couldn't getanything from that
link someone kindly suggested).

As OE is not part of Office, please post to an OE group and supply
details.

OE6 newsgroups.

If you are using Outlook Express as your newsreader they should open.
