Outlook Express error message
Hi
When I close Outlook Express down, all appears to go OK until I get a "Outlok Express has encountered a problem and must close etc etc message". I have compressed my folders in outlook Express 6 IE8 WinXP Home SP3. John H (Pleas reply to list as email address is a dummy due to massive spam) |

Have you been rigorously adhering to all of the following caveats?
- 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. It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection: Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tuto...ning/index.htm -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 John H wrote: Hi When I close Outlook Express down, all appears to go OK until I get a "Outlok Express has encountered a problem and must close etc etc message".

Then you're not adhering to them rigorously, one possible cause of the
error. Try again for a week or so (while adhering to all the caveats) and see if the behavior occurs again. Every day for the next 2 weeks, before you shut down OE for the day I want you to: 1. Move anything in Sent Items that you want to keep to one or more other, user-created local folders then delete everything else from Sent Items folder; and then... 2. Delete the contents of Deleted Items folder. On every Wednesday & Saturday, before you shut down OE for the day I want you to also: 3. Move 80-90% of the messages in Inbox to other, user-created local folders; 4. Don't forget to do #1 & #2; and then... 5. Compact all folders manually (ALT+F+F+F). John H wrote: Hi PA Bear.

re your requests
(1) Will do (2) Always auto deleted on exit (3) Nothing goes into inbox as message rules take them automatically to other folders. (4) & (5) Done weekly As I previously said, only sent mailabox not emptied regularly. John H "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...
