Hi :Well if you like to save things buy yourself a very large second hard

the cows come home.... well thats a matter of speech-- they do come home and
they make a lot of a noise.... <G> -Jackie

Well, I was just tickled pink reading these replies.
I saved my deleted.dbx files to another directory.
I closed OE, opened windows explorer, and deleted the deleted.dbx files.
Then I opened OE again, and when I clicked on deleted, it went effortlessly
to the
folder and opened up. Wow, so easy I said.
Ok, then I transferred the data <just for practice> back into deleted.dbx
from the
directory I saved it in.
Opened OE, clicked on deleted.....
and the hour glass hung and hung and I had to do the ctrl/alt/del to have it
tell me
that it is not responding again.
GRRRRrrrrrr.
You say, ok, empty your deleted files and be done with it. Well, I DO and I
HAVE
BEEN and I WILL. But sometimes someone says, hey, I need this or that and I
just
deleted the file, and I need to access that file. It's nice to be able to
get it if
it's not 'gone forever'.. if ya know what I mean.
So, what now?
Suggestions all you great minds out there???? grin
Signed,
A not so great mind out there,

Hello Re-Na,
I just copy the whole file onto my backup and then let
Windows make another one for me.
Great way to do that Tonia!

Hi Re-Na
For Deleted Items or Sent Items folders, you can do Search or Find for them.
Delete these from the Find windows. Or you can get into the Outlook Express
folder through Windows Explorer--- C:\Windows\Application
Data\Identities\Microsoft\Outlook Express and delete the Sent Items.dbx file
or Deleted Items.dbx file. Before deleting these, make sure you back up your
messages in a temporary folder first and that your OE is closed. When you
start OE, these would be rebuilt automatically. Transfer your backed up
messages back into the appropriate folders.
Hope that helps.
Love
Tonia

the 'sent' email folder in Outlook express. I believe there is an 'inbox
repair'. I was wondering about 'sent' or 'deleted' messages repairs. I have
to do a defrag to get mine to not freeze. Otherwise it 'does not respond'.
I just emptied the deleted folders contents yesterday, did a scandisk and
defrag > last night, and already today it is freezing up on me. There can't
be THAT much in the folder now.
Whew, anyway, suggestions welcome!
Thanks in advance.
