Dear List Please bear with me I am trying to type from notes made on tape that I am told is the cause of all the Odd things that have happened to me using Outlook Express. The person who told me researched it he said on the MS Knowledge Base. at times all the contents of my Emails have vanished they look normal on the outside but are empty inside, I mean all emails those arriving those held in subfolders in all some thousands by now . also the Recycle Bin doing a continual back up not acting like a normal recycle Bin. The reason is said to be this. "the problem occurs when the total amount of memory used by all files exceeds the amount of approx 1 GB or when there are more than 2000 messages appear to be able to cope . That is the substance of it However he went on to say in a within folders dbx does not appear any 1 folder . the indexing used within folders It seems there is a Published solution on the Microsoft Website . other than system restore , which is what I have been doing. the other solution is to delete internet Temporary files.. Well I am guilty of keeping all Emails and making subfolders in outlook express, and I do have well over 2000 emails in some folders the sent Items list goes back a couple of years for example the Jaws list I do not read and delete , I fear I have not burned them onto Cd . I know I could get rid of a lot, but some of us throw things away and others find the minute we do we wish we had not. so if any one of you is clever enough to find what this person told me on the Ms Website can you let me have it please ? Meanwhile I had better get deleting and burning to cd. sorry not to have explained this well Just doing my best. See I forgot to say more than 2000 in any one folder . Dorothy Ps also was mentioned the word Indexing .b the Researcher y ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq]** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
