Why have I lost 400 emails.

Why have I lost 400 emails.  Last night I had about 523 emails.  Before my eyes, it changed to 123.  What happedned where they went.  They were emails that I haven't read.  They could be important.  That's happened?  How to make a comeback.  Where did they go?  It was in outlook express.

OE reviews | Current view | Show all messages (check/enable)

Cautions general OE:

N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

-Empty the deleted items folder daily.

-Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More onhttp://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

-Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

-Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

  • Why have I lost all CD imported from my iTunes library

    I lost all my imported CDs and all the selections of my iTunes library painstakingly compiled over the years of effort. More than 110 GB of music disappeared from one day to the next day when I upgraded the software at the end of 2015. How can I get these without restarting the whole process again? The only thing left in my library is the purchased Playlist. Can someone help, please? Thank you.

    On some occasions, your iTunes library database may be affected by an iTunes update - nobody seems to know exactly why, although its been suggested that it would be the result of a conflict between the installation of iTunes and some anti-virus software program or other processes that monitor changes to files on your computer (for example the Windows Indexing service').  The content of your library, i.e. the media files and folders should be affected, but without a database iTunes file doesn't have information or links to these files.

    To restore your library to a working state (which may not be necessarily as it was immediately before installing the update) see user turingtest2 on the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.  For later use, you must create and maintain a backup of your library iTunes, and always update your backup before installing the iTunes update.  For a suitable and recommended method, see backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library .

  • Why have I lost all my work?

    I'm relatively new to Illustrator. Last night, I lost about 8 hours worth of work I put in a project of Illustrator, and I have no idea why. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the situation.


    At one point yesterday morning, I recorded my project in PDF format so that I could share it with someone. I continued to work on the file and kept saving my Illustrator project that I worked. At the end of the day, I closed my project. When I tried to reopen this morning, all my changes disappeared. Even more strange, the only version of the Illustrator file I have is a version even older than what I had saved in PDF format. And still more strangely, I got a PDF of my final working copy, but no version of Illustrator of it. Note that I have never created a PDF version of the book that I did at the end of the day. So technically the PDF file I have on my system should have only one I sent earlier in the day.

    What possibly could happen here? I'm a little upset that I lost 8 working hours. But more important, I want to know what I did so that I wouldn't do it again.

    Thanks for your help!

    GS,

    For safety, you always save a copy in PDF of Ouedraogo and stay at Illy, or save normally before save you to PDF and then close the document in order to avoid this trap.

    You saved the file PDF without having checked preserve Illustrator editing functions, which means that the document is only saved in the possibly simplified PDF version.

    Save as PDF with preserve Illustrator editing capabilities ticked, or save as to create a PDF Compatible is TICKING, you actually save two files complete, an AI and a single PDF.

    You can recreate the document HAVE entirely or partially of the PDF, according to the work, by opening it to Illy and maybe redo parts. Some aspects of the work are the same, some are simplified in the PDF file.

  • Why have I lost icon paperclip on the Windows Mail Preview pane, and font is changed?

    I suddenly lost the paper clip icon in the right corner of the Windows mail preview pane, and details giving email policies changed. Now I can't click the icon to see the attachments, but must open the e-mail and view attachments in this way.

    Migration to Windows Live Mail is a possibility, Yes, but you must know that all is not necessarily well with IE9 installed either in Windows Live Mail: see http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/82750b30-a346-e011-9575-d8d385dcbb12

    Support for IE8 will continue as long as the version of Windows, in which he is running is guaranteed (and support for Win7 will continue for many, many years until more recently released Service Pack is installed).

    Same fo WinXP SP3 (and IE6, IE7 & IE8) Extended Support will continue until April 2014.

    If the icon available in the preview pane trombone is so important to you, stay with IE8 in the foreseeable future.

    And note that the attachments are always accessible in Windows Mail w/IE9 installed once you open the message. And if "read all messages in plain text" is turned on, the "bug of police" will not appear either.

    I came back to work on Monday and all my favorites have disappeared. Recently, synchronize bookmarks on the new computer with the old computer. Bookmarks have been synchronized successfully... then I erased everything on the old computer. Where are my favorites?

  • I have sudenly lost a years worth of emails

    Hi, I use Outlook Express 6 with Windows XP, I noticed I lost years of email value out of all my files, I used Outlook express 6 for a long time and I've never met a problem like this, I lost every email since 6 May 2010 until April 8, 2011 on all files (have some private folders where I keep corrispondance I want to keep separate folders) I noticed when I'm trying to download my emails, Outlook Express flickered and close, but when I opened it again all the emails, including emails which have been busy downloading had disappeared, I did a check of virus with Avast, but no viruses appear, is it possible I can get those e-mails that some of them are quite important, any help will be greatly accepted.

    Greetings to all who may be able to help me.

    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.
