The Inbox messages disappeared

Hello

I opened my Outlook Express yesterday, and all the messages received after 29/08/2009 had disappeared.

All other folders are intact.

Any ideas where they went and how to get them back.

See you soon

OE has a tendency to self-destruction, which means it will often fill the Inbox with zeros and then you have no more messages.  Which seems to have happened in your case.  Check your Inbox for an inbox.bak file which is a backup of the dbx file if it is present.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and also #4 on this page.  If there are no bak file and then search for *.dbx (hidden) and see if you find a variation on the file inbox.dbx (box of reception (1) or somesuch) and see if you can import only hand in OE (seewww.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1).  You can determine who is using for the Inbox folder OE click with the right button on the Inbox folder in OE folder list and then go to properties.
 
If you can not always get messages from all of this, then your only recourse is the extract from my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) disk function unless you have a backup.

  • My Inbox messages disappeared? other boxes ok but none left in the Inbox?

    My Inbox messages disappeared? other boxes (sent) okay, but none left in the Inbox?

    Here's what our service provider (Videotron) made me do: on our system of Microsoft Outlook - under Tools/accounts/mail/Properties/Advanced - ticked the box - keep copies of messages on the server - and also on - remove the server after deleting "deleted items". He was told that the messages would remain on their server to 365 days. If we want to keep moving some emails to a folder on our computer. As we did we have any problems with our e-mail systems... I hope this helps. Thank you.

  • The Inbox has disappeared from my list of IMAP folders.

    My email accounts, the Inbox has disappeared after clicking the reset button in the box of IMAP folders.  No Inbox folder appears under the 'all' or 'Visible' tabs.  I discovered this after creating a new account (there are about 6 other) and noticed that there was no Inbox.  To the title of the Quick views into account, there is always an Inbox that shows the mails for all accounts, but the inboxes individual accounts I have reset disappeared.

    No solution seemed to be available, even if on some forums ppl asks to see the Inbox folder are displayed for a short while, in the page of IMAP folder - I have not.  Any ideas?  Oh, it's on my laptop with 7 Ultimate; I have not tried this yet on my house last month w/Vista PC

    UPDATE

    I solved the problem... at least, I managed to recover mailboxes.  Take a chance, I just simply deleted each e-mail account and then recreated the accounts.  Presto!  Inboxes are back.

    I don't know why it does not appear when you create the new account last week, or why the inboxes of the other missing accounts on reset records, but apparently there was a problem, yet to be explained.

    Thanks for your attention!

  • Windows mail Inbox messages disappeared

    I have a friend who has vista business os and is using windows mail. She lost him all the messages in his Inbox. There is here an Inbox, but there only the most recent messages. no idea as to what happened to the other messages? some of them were quite important, and that is why it does not delete them. where could they have? I do not use windows mail, I use outlook express and I'm not sure what to tell him to do.
    Thanks for any help... sue city sioux

    If she is using an Anti Virus application, disable or uninstall the e-mail scanner, it is probably the cause.  Windows Mail is extremely sensitive to the scanners by email and mail that disappears is a common symptom of a missing thug of e-mail scanner.

  • Inbox messages disappear over time

    After a week or two, all emails read in my Inbox disappear suddenly.  It's happened twice.   They are there for a minute, then everything on the other.  The list starts again with my new messages I receive and read (highlight and not), I want to keep them around for about 6 months but they are endangered.     (I have checked "all messages").  Why is this happening?

    Windows Mail?

    Try to compact and repair the database.

  • How can I get rid of the practice (news this morning) of messages that appear at the bottom of the Inbox message list when I don't want to see them?

    Until this morning, I could the cursor up and down on my list of the Inbox for messages I wanted to open (or delete without opening). Now, each message darn, the cursor stops on - or sometimes even just past above - appears below the line at the bottom of the list of messages. This means that I can't see so many messages listed at the same time as I could yesterday.
    I can get rid of the line (and the message that open automatically below) only by moving the cursor down on the line. I don't want to do that with every message that I make a break on or exceed. If I want to open a message, I'll open - it is not so difficult.
    I imagine that some people wanted this feature or that it would not have been installed. All I want is to be able to turn it off.
    Thanks for any help.

    Re; I guess that some people wanted this feature or that it would not have been installed. All I want is to be able to turn it off.

    There is no such feature added, because it would be ridiculous to implement.
    The problem you are experiencing is not a problem with Thunderbird.
    It is likely to be your mouse, mouse pad or keyboard.

    Emails do not open without a statement to open. That statement comes from the mouse, mouse pad, keyboard, then this is where to look.

    Either you're inadvertently clicking or your settings are too sensitive or maybe something is stuck, your mouse/keyboard mat is recording your action and act on it.
    Action comes from the mouse or carpets to mouse or keyboard and the computer includes an action is required and performs this action in Thunderbird.

    Determine if what you are doing when it occurs, what method to use and check the settings.

    I would go in your computer control settings to get for example: mouse pads
    and check the settings for sensitivity.

    If you use a mouse pad, it's too easy to press slightly harder and move cursor is interpreted as a left click. Check the sensitivity settings.
    Maybe your keyboard should be cleaned as keys become sticky.
    If you use a mouse, then make sure that your hands are not inadvertently pressing the buttons, the checksensitivity settings or maybe the mouse begins to fail, if not too sentive.

  • Why the Inbox tab disappears when I open an email

    I have to go through all the emails back to the Inbox

    Maybe you should start to close tabs message after reading the. If you open your Inbox is pushed off the screen so you obviously just keep opening tabs without closing the 'old'.

    To get out of your situation, now, right-click on a tab and choose close other tabs. Then use the x in the other tab click on us there.

  • When I select the ANSWER, the original message disappears in the response message

    When I choose to REPLY to an email, the body of this message disappears and I don't see what I answer.

    This just started two days ago. I must have something clicked by accident.

    I have Windows 7, Windows Live Mail 2011

    You need to check: include the original message in its response.

    WLMail 2009, which was found in tools | Options | Send. It should be similar to WLMail 2011, but if you can't find it, ask the experts here.

  • Cannot open Windows Mail except via the broadband provider - and the Inbox has disappeared

    I opened the mail Windows, given that my Inbox, but took the option to open junk e-mail. Each action after which resulted in the sound of 'ping '. The cross at the top right was not red annd I couldn't close it - I had to use the Task Manager to close. Since then, I can't open Windows Mail via the shortcut or the Start button. I opened through my provider of broadband (Greenbee) - but my Inbox was empty and sent no later than June 24 items were gone too. I contacted Greenbee. They sent a test email - it happened. They concluded that my softwear was defective ("missing wappy" was the term used). What can I do now?

    Try to compact and repair the Windows Mail database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  Then see if it opens.  See also here to exclude interference antivirus: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 and see FYI point 15.

  • Font used for the Inbox Message unfortunately also used in other programs

    OK, so when you do a right click on the desktop, click Personalize, then window color and then finally advanced appearance settings, you can customize some parts in windows.

    So, I chose a font for the message, as shown above.  However, I noticed that the police appear in other places that I don't want it.  The olive colored arrows show where.

    How can I make the police appear to ONLY message boxes and not in other programs?   Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    Thank you for using Microsoft Community.

    It is not possible to maintain a different font for other programs.

    Once we change the fonts in Windows color and appearance, it will be for all programs.

    It is not possible to apply a different font to other programs.
     
    This behavior is by design.

    Thank you

  • What are the arrows curved left of the Inbox messages

    Would like to know the meaning of the small curved arrows colored on the left of the subject lines of incoming E-mail, and can they be used to indicate something. It seems that the purple arrows point to the left and the blues are pointing the right that I don't seem to find anything to their topic or use. Also, would have explained such as the use of the trombone and emblems star next arrows.

    Purple arrows point to the left:

    • means you have answered this email.

    blue point to the right:

    • means that you 'sent' this email to someone.
  • 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.

  • Thunderbird is eating my emails if I try to move them to another folder in the Inbox. Help!

    Whenever I try to drag and drop an e-mail to another box below the Inbox, it disappears and I can't get it back. It started a year ago, but only happened from time to time. Today, it has been every email that I tried to move! Help! I can't have an e-mail program that does this.

    Copy the messages instead of move and verify that the copy was successful. Then just delete them in the source folder.
    If it is an IMAP account, the problem may be with your e-mail provider's server.

  • To remove the error message about the network drive

    I have W7 Home and recently restructured.   I had this problem of reformatting finally a long time ago and it is solved but do not remember how.  Whenever I boot, I get the message "connection impossible network drives.  When I click it, I see the Epson printer has a red X on it and says Epson memory card.  The printer has always shown in my computer, but it works very well.  All I need is to get rid of the error message.  I tried to go into the center of the Action and unclicking on error messages of network firewall but that did not help. I'll print on any solution this time for the next restructuring!  Thanks for any advice.

    Epson support says that since the printer connecting wireless much later that opens Windows, Windows is not see when it starts.  They say that it is a Windows problem, not them.

    To get rid of the error message, I disconnect a right-click on my computer and clicked on the network drive.  I find the error message disappeared and the printer works fine.  I don't know if there's a problem with that.
