Outlook Express Compacted Messages "LOST"
8 Answers
Hi
My computer's OS is Windows XP Pro, but this may not be relevant. Periodically when using Outlook Express for emailing, a window appears asking if you would like to free up disk space by "Compacting Messages" I always click cancel. Today, someone else was using the PC and clicked yes.
For reasons I cannot understand, a large amount of messages have now been removed from my Sent Folder. It has retainined messages pre June 08, but has lost all others from then up until yestertday, leaving those sent today intact. Do the compacted messages get stored somewhere on the hard drive? I hope they do, as I refer to them quite a lot. HELP!! Thanks
