• After compaction folder, emails disappear

  I recently posted to 'after compacting folders Inbox is completely empty' on one similar problem with another folder that I use for email archiving. After reaching "Compact" in the right-click on this file, all the emails just disappeared. Pouf! Fortunately, I had read the post above and made a backup of local files has the problem from happening again. There... and it didn't.

  After that some tests, this accident is intermittent. I don't find any reason for the incompatibility. I took it on faith that before I compact no matter WHAT file I need to make a backup of recovery. Until I know why this is happening, that would be my advice before any physical person or in bulk the compaction is done.

• Don't ask me again on compacting folders

  Whenever I delete an e-mail from the Inbox, I wonder if I want Thunderbird to automatically compact folders. Is it possible to stop this?
  When I compact my files everything that happened was losing all my emails, apparently for good so I never do this again!

  In the toolbar > Options > advanced > network and disk space. and compact auto power off.

  You will need to probably first notice lack following mail when you click on mail and it is simply not displayed. We see a lot of that here as well. It of the same loss of data, without the re-indexing causes compaction. A bed of mails that already existed.

  If you have seemed to lose mail in the past, it is usually because at one point in the past. Before compacting your anti virus program has removed all mutant trying to destroy some risks invented.

  The folks over at svmantec have been completely indifferent when I tried to address their destructive tendencies. The fact that click on allow Norton to fix deleted any Inbox dating for years to remove something that was totally inert apparently was Ok. And it must be! Customers continue to give their money and by publishing the complaints year after year, or as you blame something else entirely.

  For the year people come here with three misconception.
  1 thunderbird loses regularly mails. I used it almost 10 years and my household is rubbish. (a few 18 000 emails in my Inbox consuming about 2.3 GB of storage) I've never lost a mail unless I did something stupid first and then only once or twice. He sends the past Thunderbird has certainly had problems of file over 4 GB in size and lost. This is no longer the case.

  2. what compaction does something on the compression of mail. It is not compression is the compression. A nuclear explosion creates a compression wave that compact removable items. Similarly, compaction in Thunderbird takes a sparsely populated data file and place messages closer together by removing deleted messages used to occupy the space.

  3. that their anti virus program is actually an interesting product. Most of the problems with mail, data loss and inexplicable reboots or programs and windows itself can be parked just in front of the doors anti virus vendors. That's why Microsoft are really trying to squeeze out them quietly and without any finger pointing. This would create any dispute. So, we get Microsoft Security Essentials, then Windows Defender, now of Microsoft Family protection. None of these are better than the third-party products and often leave gaping holes. But they result from the fact that gives Windows anti-virus software a bad reputation. Mac users are not something like windows for questions users suffer in connectivity, and it's not because OSX is really better.

• Compacting folders in OE6 seems corrupt

  I work to stabilize the system OE6 to my wife before the cloning of a new system and the migration to Outlook. The problem is that OE will ask compact folders to closing it. If I leave it, never complete, requiring a forced nearby. Then the DBX files are corrupt and the messages are lost. (I once had this loss and fear now allow any compacting folders, even if this seems to be required servicing for OE users). As a result, I'm afraid to leave records to compact.

  If I can clone OE to another system (of security), then I have matter the OE message store in Outlook (in a PST file) and, finally, bid farewell to OE6 forever.

  Any offer of help or pointing me to resources of knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

  Compaction hangs on Folders.dbx after installation of the SP3 for XP
   
  It is a known problem and will never be solved. As a result, compact your folders manually. The counter will be reset, and a compact manual won't hang it.
   
  Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
   
  If you have the habit of compaction before 100th closing, (i.e. once a week or more), you will never see the prompt again.

  Recovery methods:
   
  If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
   
  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
   
  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
   
  In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
   
  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
   
  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
   
  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
   
  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
   
  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.

  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
   
  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
   
  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages.

• Try to restore the emails (in Outlook Express 6.0) that have been deleted after compaction.

  After compacting was done several of my recent emails have been deleted.  This never happened before.  I went to the trash and click on restore for each of them, but none are returned in the received or sent items box.  I know they are there somewhere but don't know how to find them.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get back them?

• Gel after returning from standby

  Windows 7 64 bit

  I use a lot of waiting. After that I wake the computer from sleep mode, it works as expected; but sometimes, when I run a program (usually VLC), the PC freezes, more input not possible, hard power off required. This isn't a problem of input device. The power button on my computer should cause the PC to stop but does not either when the system is frozen.

  If I do start VLC (or another program that causes the gel), the PC would either freeze during shutdown (power off), or follow these steps if I started the day before: the rotation of the drives down, monitors are not getting a signal more, cooling fans and the CPU fan still spinning. After about 5 minutes the PC turns off hard.

  When I turn on the PC after a hard stop, the message "Windows is not stopped correctly. You want to try safe mode? »

  I composed the PC myself, so I have to identify the material originally from the problem... If it was caused by the material. I know that it's not caused by my hard drives of 2 TB. I know there is a similar problem, caused by the slow rotation of the 2 TB drives implementation. I tested my system will detect the connected disks and it still frozen. Disable all startup items has not solved the problem.

  Here is a list of my equipment:

  Mobo:
  980DE3/U3S3
  CPU:
  AMD FX 8320
  RAM:
  2x8GB crucial DDR3 of Sport
  Video card:
  ASUS Radeon R7260X, PCIE
  HARD DRIVE:

  Crucial MX100, SATA (SSD)

  various bis Magnetfestplatten 2 TB

  OPERATING SYSTEM:
  Windows 7 64 bit

  POWER SUPPLY:

  800W

  Yet another update:

  I recently installed Windows 7 new and frost have yet taken place. Only a few programs have been used:

  Chrome, Skype and VLC (since these seem to 'help' freezes)

  I also tried Ubuntu, where the system does not freeze. This could be because Ubuntu uses a different expectation.

  Currently I am in my old Win 7 installation and try different programs, not only not their use.

  Firefox instead of Chrome-> gel

  No VLC-> gel

  No Skype-> gel

  Thus, any of these programs makes my PC freeze

  ASRock (my mobo manufacturer) suspected hardware fault. Alas, I can't trace it either PSU or mobo.

  Install Windows 7 from scratch, I realized sleep (aka standby) is usable only if the video card drivers are installed. It may be that this device / driver is the culprit?

  Edit: it seems I found what caused the problem: Reader adobe flash (plugin). Since it is used by Chrome and firefox in watching Youtube, my system froze with the two programs. Since I updated the driver (including firefox only suggested) no more freezes have been held since a few days now. This may be premature if. I will present after a while to confirm.
  Meanwhile, I post a link to a thread that seems to focus on the same problem:

• IPhone 6 more gel after update 9.3.4

  Following the last update my iphone 6 with freezes up and it flashes on the screen from time to time.  The touchscreen is insensitive. This problem occurs suddenly, after a reset, it disappears and reappears.

  Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

  • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
  • Press and hold the Home button
  • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

  Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

  If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

  Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

• "Compact folders" destroyed the links in tabs. Content tab empty. This is not acceptable. This has been a problem for as long as I can remember.

• Does "compact folders" Act on all or only on the current account?

  I wonder if I need to go to each account and compact, or just do it once.

  Depends on where go you.
  It is my understanding that if you select Compact from the file menu drop-down it's all records.
  Selecting folder, in that you are in fact right click menu.

  I read my mail in the AM and remove most but will get the same messages still sometimes two or three times. I'm doing a click right and hit compact several times a day. There has been talk for a month or two?

  To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:

  • Restart Thunderbird with disabled modules (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click "restart with disabled modules. If Thunderbird works as usual, there is an add-on or theme interfere with normal operations. You will need to reactivate the modules one at a time until you locate the offender.
  • Restart the operating system in safe mode with network. This loads only the basics needed to start your computer while allowing Internet access. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, OSX

  If the safe mode for the operating system to resolve the problem, there are other software on your computer that is causing problems. The possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as updates of the program.
