I'm asking this for a friend, so pardon any misconceptions on my part. She
has Outlook Express 6.0. A month or so ago, her Outlook either auto-compacted
her email folders or as she wrote me, "compressed" them. Regardless, she is
now missing emails. How can they be retrieved? Thanks in advance.

Please ask this in an Outlook Express group such as
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...xpress.general

Thanks for the link; however, pasting this into my browser opens some sort of
Outlook Express (which I do not have on my laptop - I use regular Outlook)
and then it wants the names of people to send it to??? I can see where
someone has asked a similar question, but I don't see answers.

Every installation of WIndows with IE has Outlook Express.

No, it would want the names of the newsgroups to which you want your message
posted.

In Outlook Express, click Help and then look for "newsgroups"

That didn't do anything, still won't let me send; however, I did find someone
who had asked a similar question and was able to read the answer. Thanks.

Sorry for that - I use the newsgroup interface; you may have posted from
the web interface. Just use the
'microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general' portion to find the correct
group on the web interface. I have never used it, so I don't know its URL.
