Outlook Express 6 "Find" option not working
Assuming you're not attempting to search for words in message bodies that
haven't been downloaded yet... Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity... File | Identities | Add new identity Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File | Identities | Manage Identities). To 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. - Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm - Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place. - Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application.

Outlook Express 6 "Find" option not working
By the way, I am trying to search for emails received or sent by either
"name' or 'subject". Does that make any difference to what you are suggesting?

Outlook Express 6 "Find" option not working
How did you import them? Did you import from the correct identity?
In the new identity: File | Import | Messages. Select Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and browse to the old identity. You should see all your folders and subfolders and have a choice to import all, or selected folders. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "mackay" wrote in message ...
