I'm on OE6, XP sp2. It asks to compact every so often. I stopped using it
because new messages get lost in OE when I compact. Extremely annoying
especially if I hit yes to compact by accident. WTF Microsoft??
-S
are you stopping the compacting process before it's finished? That's the
normal cause of data loss - otherwise compacting should have no effect on
your data other than to delete the "white" space in your files.
BTW, this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.
For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as
http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
