OE6 "SENT FOLDER"

[Tony]

I've been using OE6 fir quite some time without a problem.

Now, all of a sudden, I can't access the "SENT" folder
nor the Hotmail "SENT" folder. When I click on either of
them, I get the hour glass and after a while, the program
stops reponding.

I am assuming (maybe incorrectly, that OE6 has become
corrupted. I don't see any repair utility for OE6.

How can I fix this ?

Thanks !

Hi - this is a Windows XP group & you'll probably get more help in an
Outlook Express one such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

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.

A good website for information on OE is:

Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

Disable Background Compacting and frequently perform a manual compact of all
OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
