Default Outlook Express 6 Lost mails


Suddenly I have lost many mails from just my inbox, from March 21st to
yesterday. All today's are showing, but then anything between yesterday
and March 21 has gone. I have lost a few months mails before (last time
about a year ago).

Any idea why? Can I get them back?

Default Outlook Express 6 Lost mails

[Why are you posting to OE6 newsgroup via
http://www.outlookbanter.com/outlook-express/ forum (which doesn't even
carry OE General newsgroup!) when you can access this and other MS
newsgroups via OE itself? See
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/ou...newreader.htm]

Suddenly I have lost many mails from just my inbox...


Why it happens:

Recovering the missing data: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx (#2 and #4)
and/or http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918069 (see Notes section under
Resolution section; Please note that you do NOT need to install KB923694 or
KB918766 if your computer is fully-patched at Windows Update!)

Avoiding 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. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:
