My email disappeared. It can be retrieved

Using Vista Home premium 6.0 Windows

While in your Inbox go to view | Current view | Show all messages and make sure that they were not only invisible.  If they still went, then your antivirus software could have erased (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  Otherwise the messages could still be there and WinMail think they are gone, then you can go to the message store (its hidden and located on via Tools |) Options | Maintenance | Advanced | Store the folder) and look under the Inbox directory and see if the eml files are still there.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for more information on how messages are stored in WinMail.  It may also be useful to compact and repair the database of WinMail (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).

  • I compacted emails received, but some of my emails disappeared and can't find it. (outlook express)

    Compact Outlook express

    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? :

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery methods:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, 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.
     
    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. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

    You put block images and other external content under Tools | Options | Security in OE?  If so, then uncheck this option and reopen mail or hit the answer button and then must show the image.  You can also contact the sender and ask that she be sent again.

    The only way to recover data from your phone is if you have backup icloud or iTunes.

    If you have not made a backup, then sorry that data has disappeared.

    you suggest that to start your backup device.

  • 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.

  • Why my old emails disappear from the cloud?

    Why my old emails disappear from the cloud?  After only a month or two, they are gone! (and I pay extra each month more space!)

    Hello Unhappywoman,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    From your post, I understand that old emails are deleted after a month. This can be due to behaviors of the mailbox defined for your iCloud account.

    The following article explains how to look at these settings. My suspicion is that the section "permanently erase deleted messages when:" is set at one month old.

    Use Mail preferences to set or change options for e-mail accounts , you use mail and to work with messages and mailboxes. Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click a preferences panel for the options:

    • Accounts: Add, remove, and disable your email accounts in mail. Use only the part of the mailbox behaviors to control how the project, junk, sent, and deleted (or "Basket") messages are stored. Advanced pane includes options for messages, attachments and more.

  • I am having major problems with my emails. I can send emails OK but I can't receive them. I use Outlook Express.

    I am having major problems with my emails.  I can send emails OK but I can't receive them.  I use Outlook Express.  When I first turn on outlook express, emails start coming, but then outlook express crashes.  I disable outlook express and start again. My emails are stuck in the Orange webmail box until the last email is downloaded.  This means that I sometimes get the same time to send four or five. I called technical support Orange several times, but they say it's a problem of microsoft. I use Windows XP.

    original title: I can't receive emails from outlook express.

    Hi Mike,.

    Make sure that you have not activated your antivirus software analysis of electronic mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 which is often a problem with receiving and sending a message.

    Then, try to go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give you a new message store and a new registry hive (where all the settings and account info is).  Add your email account and see if it works very well.  If it sticks sometimes, make sure that you are not setting to check messages too often (like every 3 minutes or somesuch).  You can also try to increase the timeout for the server where this is a problem (Tools |) Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced).  See if who deals with issues "" OE gel.  If Yes, then you can use the file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

    I do not know that moving to Outlook might solve the problem, because they both use the same mechanism to retrieve messages.  If you still have problems, come on and generate a log file and when OE freezes, which could give some indication of what is the underlying problem.  Make sure that you disable the log file later, because this file grows enormously and can cause problems if it becomes too large.

    Opened my mail this am, and all previously read email disappeared!  Only messages are old messages that have already been recorded in specific folders.

    When I opened first, a large blue box appeared, but very quickly disappeared, I could only catch the words "Orphaned accounts" and I saw a few zeros in the text all down before it closes on its own

    * I can send and RRs new msgs

    * Inbox, sent and deleted are all empty. Any ideas? Thank you!

    If View | Current view | Show all messages is checked, then you can enter in the message store (turn on the display of the hidden files and folders and uncheck Hide extensions of the file types to know under control panel |) Folder options | View) and look for the eml files that represent messages.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm message storage location can be found via Tools | Options | Maintenance | Advanced | Storage folder.
