outlook express help anyone?[views:1416][posts:12]___________________________________ [Sep 17,2003 10:38am - succubus ""] there seem to be a lot of computer savy people on here and i figured i'd ask.. when i opened outlook express this morning all the emails in my inbox were gone...i had a lot of important emails in there :( i also have subdirectories and those are fine... anyhow..apparently i think what happened is that in the "tools", "options" category.."Compact messages when there is 20% wasted space...was checked off.... anyhow, i saw a log file and it looks as though the "cleanup.log" said that i had a lot more than 20% wasted space in my inbox... so i guess it deleted them..or ? i have been doing searches on pst files and dbx files and have come up with nothing.. any suggestions? these emails were really important =( as a last resort i would install a file retrieval program that let's you find stuff you deleted off you pc..if any one knows of one. Please help |

What i mean is deleting the profile and then rebooting..and then reentering the profile? i had the same problem at that worked for me... about my issue, i am literally sick to my stomach..i had really important emails and i cannot believe they are gone...i lost some pretty important contacts and info... oh Tom, it's my work laptop so i can't use outlook...that's for my "work" related emails |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 17,2003 12:25pm - the_reverend ""] I don't like ns7.0's mail thing.. it's too eudora. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 17,2003 12:34pm - RustedAngel ""] its not microsoft. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 17,2003 12:52pm - the_reverend ""] then it sux. actually, I like outlook express a lot. I do not like outlook (it's too bloated) I do not like ns7.0 or eudora another program winamp3 (BLOATED!!) though I used it |

I do not like outlook (it's too bloated) I do not like ns7.0 or eudora another program winamp3 (BLOATED!!) though I used it you can't set tasks with outlook express though, and it doesn't have advanced mail sorting functionality. i still use winamp 2. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 17,2003 1:08pm - the_reverend ""] I hate tasks... they pop up all over the place. the mail filtering in outlook is a bit primative.. but it works well enough. |
