Since the middle of February I have not been able to open OE. The window
comes up and shows that I have received new mail. It doesn't matter what I
click on, the hourglass comes up. If I click again "Not Responding" shows up
on the top bar beside Outlook Express. I've tried deleting OE6 and IE7 and
relouding both, to no avail. I've checked each day for any updates to
improve this problem. I really need to be able to use OE. I have a daughter
trying to get into college, and she left her e-mail address with them. I
don't want to miss any mail.

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.

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

It still does not respond. Any other suggestions.

Your Inbox may be corrupt.

Don't store messages in the Inbox. It is the folder most apt to be
corrupted. As soon as you read them move them to user created folders.
Then compact the Inbox regularly.

Go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and write down where OE
is storing its data.
Close OE.
Go there with Windows Explorer and move (not copy) Inbox.dbx to an empty
Windows
folder. With Win2K, WinXP and Win2K3 it will be a hidden file.

You can use either of these tools to extract the messages from the old DBX
file:

DBXtract ($5): http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/ although this tool is faster
and better:
DBXpress: ($25) http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx
Do NOT extract to the desktop!
With a large file this can take a long time, so let it keep running.

The messages can be dragged from a Windows folder back into an OE folder in
OE's Folder List.

Does your ISP have access with Webmail?
You can use www.mail2web.com .

Did your problems start when you installed IE7?

How did you uninstall OE6?

Have you tried a new Identity?
