Hi Pat,
Your daughter's boyfriend said you had about 600 emails in your recycle bin.
Their usually listed by the name of the person or folder in alphabetical order,
but they have to be restored. So if you have the name of the party or email
you're looking for, you can press the alphabet and arrow down in hopes of
trying to locate it, then you press enter on it and you will be asked if you
want to restore it and I believe you'll find it back in your outlook where it
was or in the inbox, not sure but you can give it a try. Good luck!

Dear Judith,
I checked my recycle bin, and I had only two items in it and they were some
sort of DVD's which I had never received. My daughter's boyfriend was here, and
he said I had over 6,00 emails in my recycle bin, but I certainly cannot find
them. He said they should all be there. Could he have meant in my Delete folder
in Microsoft Outlook? All of those are the increasingly more frequent spam
offerings I receive daily. They are more than a bother; they are an outrage,
and there should be a law and penalty against them.
Thanks fo ryour help.
Patty

I thought that compacting meant making them smaller, as I have done that
too. If I'm not mistaken, they may be in your recycle bin, I've found mine
there before!

Dear List,
I have often received the prompt that I could compact my files to create
more space, adn I assumed this meant they could be made smaller and could be
restored if I needed to access them in the future. Today I agreed to compacting
files and 2,00 of them were deleted from my inbox. They were the most current
and had not been cataloged. I asked the technology service providerand he said
that compacting meant exactly that, Compacting as in trash compactor.
If these files are indeed gone I'll accept it, but I'd like to be
certain. How would I access them again? A friennd suggested that they were
.dbx files, but when I using that file extension in the "search" the files I
found were all music files.
Does anyone know: Does this mean they are gone? I'm also told we can
store up to two gigabytes on our computer in email program.
Thanks verymuch for any assistance or information.
Patty
