Why has my Inbox & all folders in OE6 disappeared today?

• OE6 do appears not all folders

  OE6 shows not all folders that I created. I had to force a reboot when the PC hung during the compaction of OE. The "Inbox" folder has been restored, but some files are missing. I removed the "Folders.dbx" file to force the creation of a new "Folder.dbx" file, but only files beginning with the letters 'A' through 'P' are found/generated. How can I get the remaining to be recognized and listed in OE6 files?

  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.

  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.

  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.

• After upgrade today all the body of the email are empty in all folders

  I've just updated Thunderbird today and as a result of the upgrade, I can't read all the emails. All messages from all folders have a body of the email blank.

  Well, my experience is that Outlook comes with its share of quirks, but I get completely where you come from and why you would want to.

  I'm glad you do. I'm sick of hearing people who give nothing, which suggests that they will do better when they give Microsoft $150 for Outlook. They get all the quirks of perspective and a Bill.

  I personally think is it's the people who think that they will get the best service if they threaten to go to the competitor who really said that. Just as we regularly get people fighting all the way to the support Forum to ask for a phone number where they can talk to a real person of their personal question. I don't know where they think the money to pay the salary of this fictitious person comes. Everything I am is from his pocket and abused.
  Perhaps they do not realize that in a commercial sense competitive Thunderbird is simply not there at all.

  For the original, poster of this picture, it seems that you are using the add-on for Thunderbird Conversations. Maybe if you have disabled it Thunderbird would work properly like this add-on has a problem with the current version. You can find all you need to do is to restart Thunderbird for the update can fill.

  Looking at the site of the add-on I see this

  • • • Version compatibility *.

  Thunderbird 38: Please make sure that you are running the most recent version (2.9.1) of the addon and restart Thunderbird - Thunderbird will allow you to spend 38 without updating the Conversations, giving you a broken configuration
  31 of Thunderbird: go to 'Versions' down to install 2.8.X

• 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.

  Why has my laptop started to randomly stop before turning off? I had no problem with this computer at all for more than a year. I tried to run all the updates available, but of course, it turned off before she finished. Sometimes it will run fine then others that it is a nightmare. can anyone help please?

  Hello

  Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
  It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way?

  Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
  in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
  air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
  You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
  test).

  This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need the help of a
  real computer store (not of leeks and glances at a Best Buy or other department stores) or the system
