Hi Yosy First of all this is curable HOWEVER the main reason I moved from Outlook Express (I always found Outlook too unrelaible) is that when the mail boxes reach a critical size the program becomes flakey (in other words it crashes) 1. So compress and delete 2. Turn off the option (I think under preferences) to view as HTML - try and only view as text - sad but safer 2. Reinstall or upgrade Outlook 3. Most programs will input outlook emails and even adresses 4. I would recommend: Thunderbird (part of Mozilla browser) Mozilla Email component Qualcomm Eudora (takes a bit of getting used but very powerful or Foxmail or Calypso or . . . click on where it says download here http://sourceforge.net/projects/phxmail/ (this is very similar to outlook express) Take it easy Yosy You will be back sending messages in no time :-) Lob ------------------------ Yahoo!
