A number of my emails are not available in Outlook Express 6. I had compacted my inbox but when I tried to retrieve some old mails in 2007 they are not available at all. I am using this from Office 2003 and later on upgraded to Office 2007. The upgrade looks to be fine, but it looks the mails are not available at all. Is this a issue with the new edition or should I keep using Office 2003. Any idea on the same. Thanks.

It looks that the new edition of office is not able to read or retrieve the old messages due to which you are getting that error message. I never trust Outlook. It is very slow and laggy sometime when you use more than one account. But compared to that I am found Thunderbird much more effective and fast. I am using this from last 3 years and yet it is working fine. There is no problem at all. I think you must leave Office and get Thunderbird.

I am also having the same problem. First of all mails does not disappear unless they are deleted. Another thing you must keep a active backup of all your emails. Because in future you may need it. I compress the old mail box to make more space or simply move old mails to another partition. But at the time of getting them back everything is present. I had kept a different system for old mails. I just transfer them. Try to check the same in Office 2003 if you had kept the version safe.
