Perhaps the previous message below from Scott will help.

Jan,
Welcome to the list.
First, here's the simple way to remedy the situation:
1. Press Alt+V to open the view menu.
2. Press enter on the first option that appears in that menu: current view.
3. Press the up arrow key once. You should land on an option called Group
Messages by Conversation. If your screen reader announces that this item is
checked, press enter to uncheck it and return your in box to its normal
view.
Now, read on if you want a more in depth description of what you were
encountering. I believe you were experiencing a common Outlook Express
ailment called group messages by conversation. When this option is enabled,
if you receive a number of messages which all have the same subject, they
will be grouped into one item. So, if you were navigating through your in
box, you would typically encounter a message where your screen reader would
announce the word: collapsed. This indicates that there are several messages
which all have the same subject. However, you only see the initial message
with that subject, i.e. the first message which came to you. If you want to
see all the messages in the collapsed conversation, press the right arrow
key to expand the list of messages. Now, you can continue to navigate with
the down arrow key, and you will see all the messages which are part of that
conversation. It can actually be quite useful when you want to catch up on a
lot of mail. But it's dangerous if you don't know it has been enabled. When
you received the message about all messages being deleted, this was because
by pressing delete upon a collapsed conversation, you were indicating that
you wanted to delete all messages with that particular subject. The most
common reason that this option was enabled without your having initiated it
yourself is that the command Control+h is the Outlook Express keyboard
shortcut to group messages by conversation. Often times, when people press
Control+Y to access the e-mail folders, they inadvertently hit the H as
well.

Subject: [adaptivetec] Closin Threads in Outlook Express
Hi, Everyone,
My husband and I use Outlook Express 2003 with Windows XP. Suddenly on the
Laptop Outlook Express, my husband keeps getting a message about closing a
thread.
I receive many of the same email messages on our desktop computer, but I do
not get any messages about closing a thread and collapsing messages.
What would prompt him to get these messages, and how can he get rid of them?
Lori C.
