• OE6 in XP, compaction of the lost files all emails. Anyone else done this?

  Using Outlook Express 6 with Win XP I compacted files as requested. next time, I used email all old messages were gone and never seen again. I've never used 'compact the file"once again - it was a disaster. Anyone else done this?

  If you compact, you will always lose messages at any given time.
   
   
  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
   
  
  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
   
  
  Why mail disappears:
  http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
   
   
   
  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.
   
  
  Note: If you have new messages in the folder you are go restore, move them to a folder first created user, or they will be lost. They can be moved once the old posts have been restored.
   
  
  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.
   
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
   
  
  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
   
   
  And see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
   
   
   
   
   
  
  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. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently.

  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
   
   
   
  And backup often.

  To rename a picture in Microsoft Office Picture Manager
  you just click with the right button on the thumbnail and choose Rename

  I tried to delete an account that has been transferred to my new email account. I didn't know that this would remove all the mails that were in my Inbox and folders.

  After each update of the OS, I lose the contents of my personal e-mail files. I can't recover my inbox/trash folders as emails have been deleted on the assumption that registered mail would always be in my personal files. How can I recover the lost files.

  Have you not something like a TimeMachine or another complete backup of the hard drive?

  Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
  everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
  try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
  like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htm

  If you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
  back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
  (CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
  Two other points/questions:

  1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
  approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
  work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).

  2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
  photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with
  the fire. You can read this article on the backup that I wrote:
