General OE Caveats:
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a
manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.
- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.
- WinXP SP2 only: If your machine is fully up-to-date at Windows Update,
installing the following patch (KB918766) will help to avoid such data
loss in the futu

This patch will be included in the next Cumulative Update for Outlook
Express/WinXP SP2.
- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

Good info here, I will take all the emails in the "Sent" folder and put them
in my own created folder.
I turned off the A/V email scanning program too.
I have the auto compact and auto email check boxes, unchecked so they don't
go on either, I can do that manually.
So when will there be an OE7 with fixes and upgrades to follow with IE7?
