I used to have about 600 messages in my Inbox. A few
minutes ago, after trying to open a new message, I was
given an error telling me I'd run out of memory. I re-
started OE, only to find that everything in my Inbox was
gone. No other folders were changed, just the Inbox. I
then found a .dbx file called cleanup.log, which showed
that my Inbox had something like 312507% wasted space!

Can anyone out there explain what just happened and help
me avoid this in the future?

Thanks!
 
Hi, Brian -
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:
