[CGUYS] SOS -- Outlook Express Destroying Emails as soon as they're opened
Suddenly -- this morning -- My Outlook Express destroys each email that it optns. It will show up in the search function (in a box) but it cannot open the file from there. We recently did a test and once opened it disappeared. It shows in the result box of the search function as in the 'INBOX but it is clearly not there. WHAT to do? A couple of these are important!! As usual, thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom!

Close OE. Search for files with the suffix .dbx and move them to a seperate folder. Open OE and it should automatically rebuild the .dbx files. If it doesn't you will need to replace the .dbx files to their previous locations. This is my best bet. Good luck. - Original Message - From: Gail Miller gail.mil...@comcast.net To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Sent: Sunday, January 24, 2010 2:58 PM Subject: [CGUYS] SOS -- Outlook Express Destroying Emails as soon as they're opened Suddenly -- this morning -- My Outlook Express destroys each email that it optns.

If POP is it set to delete on transfer? Have you tried using a more reliable client (anything not from M$)? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
