Some time back inoticed that my oe was receiving mail from only 2 or 3
different people I check my servers web mail page and they're all there
but
when oe down loads them most are lost. I turned off all my filters but
it
doesnt help I'm baffleed!

I already ready checked my blocked sender list
Turned off my spam protection
msn.com account

Is the account a POP3 account or a HTML (WebDAV) account?

OE Tools Options General "Go directly to my inbox" & "Send/Receive at
startup" Uncheck both of these.

If still no joy, your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the
default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named
Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is well, (1)
compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old
identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File
Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- 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 [not available 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 shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
