I recently upgraded to Outlook Express 6, I had version 5
for years, and liked it a lot. We had to upgrade to
version 6 and I've found some problems that I need help
with.

I've noticed in version 6 that messages kept in the Inbox
for more than a few days will disappear. I did not delete
them, they are just gone. In version 5 I could keep
messages in my Inbox for years (literally) and they
wouldn't go anywhere.

Can I solve this problem by making a special folder and
putting any important emails that I'd like to save in said
folder? Or will the folder emails disappears eventually as
well? So far none of the email that have gone bye-bye, are
that important, but this really disturbs me. I save emails
frequently and want them to be where I put them.

Any help will be wonderful.
 
Hi, Alicia -

Are you sure you don't have a customized view setting that is showing you
only messages received within the past few days, or only unread messages?

Note -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
