message "inbox" disappear in the blink of an eye

Monday, May 20, 2013, 684 messages "inbox" has simply disappear from my Outlook Express email.  I would like to get these important messages and photos.  How to get back on my PC?  I'm not computer literate and will need someone to guide me through this or have access to my computer and it for me, HELP. * E-mail address is removed from the privacy * 

While in the Inbox: view | Current view. Show all Messages is checked? If this is not the solution, you have bigger issues.
 
*********************
 
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
 
 
 
 
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.

And backup often.

  • How can I stop the text in the blink of an eye in the firefox browser?

    I built a new index page in dreamweaver 6 and posted it www.naspensacola-mwr.com in live view and IE mode, it works fine but in firefox at least, the text is movement and a blink of an eye when images in a loop. What would cause this? Recommended fix?

    Don't know what is the blink of an eye but if you meant that the text is blinking then you need to change this code:

    {.bluebodytext}

    color: #003;

    do-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

    font-size: medium;

    make-style: normal;

    text-decoration: blink;

    text-align: justify;

    }

    Just in comment text-decoration like this line:

    / * text-decoration: blink; */

    This should stop your page flashing.

    Good luck and after back if this isn't the issue.

  • My 'all messages' option disappeared from the p-not sure when. Where can I find it?

    Looking for a deleted mail and couldn't find it. A few weeks so I must have deleted automatically. The memories I consulted similar before glancing through all the mail, but this filter is no longer there. Where can I find it?

    Hi shelannie,

    I understand that you have deleted an e-mail message and are now trying to get it back.  Was the message from a POP or IMAP account?  Depending on the type of account and preferences that you have set, you may be able to retrieve the message if it is still on your email provider's website.  Your profile says you work with OS X Yosemite.  The resources below will explain how to search mail deleted in the Mail application for this operating system.

    If it was an e-mail message that you received, you may have to ask the sender to send?

    Address postal (Yosemite): delete messages

    You can delete messages that you have more need to help keep your mailbox manageable and free up space on your Mac or on the mail server. Options e-mail preferences determine whether you can view and retrieve messages once you remove them.

    Delete a message

    In the main window of Mail: move the pointer on the header of the message, and then click the Delete button appears. Or select a message in the list, then click Delete in the toolbar of e-mail.

    Tip: To avoid the message following selected automatically (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.

    In a notification E-mail: move the pointer to the notification, and then click the trash when it appears.

    Delete multiple messages

    Select the messages or conversations in the list (hold down the command key when you click each item), and then click the Delete button in the mail toolbar, or press the delete key. If you select a conversation, all messages in the conversation are deleted.

    Looking for a set of messages that you want to remove. For example, search for message dated 1 August and 5 September 2014 by entering "date: 8/01/14-9/05/14" in the search field in mail. Or search for messages from a specific person. Select and then delete the messages found.

    Remove a mailbox, which deletes all the messages it contains.

    Show deleted messages

    How you view deleted messages depends on how you define options in Mail preferences. To check yours, choose Mail > Preferences, click accounts, and then click Mailbox behaviors.

    If your settings to move the deleted messages in the Trash: you can view the messages in the trash until they are permanently deleted. To recover a deleted message before it is cleared, drag it to the trash to another mailbox.

    If your settings do not move the deleted messages in the Trash: messages can temporarily stay in their original location, but are dimmed or hidden. To show or hide, if they are available, choose View > Show Deleted Messages or view > hide deleted Messages.

    Permanently erase deleted messages

    Automatically delete messages: choose Mail > Preferences, click accounts, and then select an account. Behavior of the ball click, and then in the section Trash choose when you want to post to permanently erase deleted messages.

    If you have an IMAP account, which the server is configured to delete older messages, they are deleted regardless of your settings.

    Manually delete messages at any time: choose the mailbox > erase deleted items, and then select an account.

    If you delete by error messages, you can drag them out of the trash to another mailbox. Or select them from the trash, choose Message > move to > [letters].

  • How do you keep a message from Inbox disappear on your laptop after you read that on the desk?

    Original title: messages received

    How do you keep a message miscare disappear at the top of a tower, after you read the desktop

    You must leave a copy of messages on the server on both machines so that both can access the messages.  Generally, a machine will delete messages after they are downloaded.  You can prevent this, but we need to know what e-mail program, you use to be able to tell you were the parameters is.  In OE and WinMail in Vista, you define which under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced, but it will be in a different place for different programs.

  • All my posts have disappeared from the Inbox.

    I realized there is a similar problem posted, but proposed solutions don't work here and the details here are different.

    All messages have disappeared from the Inbox. The sent box is fine, but deleted from the Inbox messages do not appear in the Recycle Bin.

    A search of the Inbox for messages of size > 0 allows me to see the messages and respond to them.
    If I move a message to another folder the moved message is invisible but believes it is search.

    Deleted messages are in the trash folder, but is not visible. A search in the trash finds them.

    Messages in the search boxes reuse (response, delete), but try to delete a selected message in the search box list has no effect.

    I found a solution. I can't take credit, but I tell you that I was almost embarrassed the simplicity of the solution and the problem.
    AT & T ConnectTech technician admitted that when I could left click and select the message in a tab, it was probable that nothing was clicked in the "select to display columns" in the top right of the CT. He clicks on a selection of articles and automatically that my messages appeared.

  • Some messages in the Inbox disappeared. Others replaced wi/code and is more suited to the topic/sender.,.

    No content appears suddenly when I click on some of the items in the Inbox. For the rest, I get the code, rather than normal text, and the content is not related to the sender/topic. Trash folder disappeared entirely; but when I rechecked a day later, it now seems normal. No luck with the Inbox. I read the suggestion of a repair/properties/right click, but my right click on the receipt/property box does not turn upward a repair option. I am running version 24.4.0. Help!

    The answer is to click with the right button on the back of the problem, and then select Properties. Then click on the button labeled File Repair.

    I don't know what you do not see this option.

    Be prepared to lose messages if the corruption is too bad to get back them. Then read this article on how to maintain your records to avoid the problem in the future.

  • ICloud emails disappear at the time of my Macbook Pro when I delete a message from iCloud of one of them?

    I'm an old Geezer Mac, but a Newbie iCloud. I just put on my two Macbook Pro iCloud email addresses and access e-mail through Apple Mail on both computers. Here are my two questions:

    (1) iCloud emails disappear at the time of my Macbook Pro when I delete a message from iCloud of one of them?

    (2) if I move an e-mail message to iCloud Inbox Mail at Mail Archive on a Macbook, can I delete the message from the second Macbook without losing the archived message?

    Yes, that is what is supposed to happen with an IMAP e-mail account.

    If you move it to a folder on the Mac, not in the iCloud account, you can remove safely icloud.

  • Can't see the read messages in my Inbox even if the filter is not turned on.

    I can only see unread in my Inbox e-mail messages even if the living part of the filter IS NOT set to unread.

This isn't a problem in one different folder other than the Inbox.
