Problems after Compacting
See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and #4
Excel will not help at all. steve "Keith Allum" Keith wrote in message ... OE automatically compacts my email folders and stores them as '.dbx' files in the default location on my C drive. However, when I attempt to recover the files in Excel the data is partially corrupted. What is the mechanism I should use to recover the contents of the compacted folders? Keith Allum "Pete Harris" wrote: I have been reading some of the posts that already exist in this group and am now aware of some of the problems that can occur when compacting. Some of the solutions are a bit over my head therefore anyone who is kind enough to answer this please bare this in mind. Recently I was prompted to "Compact" my emails / Folders in Outlook Express 6. Afterwards I experienced the following problems. 1) My sub folders all became main folders under the local folders. 2) Some folders are missing from the local folders list, however they do appear to exist as .dbx files. 3) All of my recent emails in my "Sent Items" folder are missing. 4) My link to this discussion group (Outlook Express 6) has disappeared. Can anyone explain why these problems have occurred and more importantly how can I overcome them? I have used a "System Restore" to a point before I compacted when everything was ok, but this did not help. -- Regards Pete |
