[bcab] Why would messages be deleted from a folder when compacting in outlook Express 6?

Hi all,

I am running Outlook Express 6 on an Acer laptop which is also running windows XP home edition and Supernova screen reading and magnification software.

I tried to compact messages today and somehow, all but one of the messages in the folder I have set up for this list, have been deleted. Also, the compacting process crashed, and when I selected to send an error report, I think one was sent, but I was not taken to a site to fix the problem, as I expected, instead, I was taken back to the desktop.

Can anyone tell me what is going on please.

Related to this, is there a way of downloading messages from the archives of this list to replace the ones I have accidentally deleted?

Thank you in advance for any help.
