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.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt
to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic
Compacting is taking place.

- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional
protection:

Hello PA Bear,

I don't think I can do this because I cannot open OE as a limited user
period. I open it and it begins to open but what it does is pin my CPU to
90% + and when I close it, I receive a "non-responsive program message"
and
then I send the report to Microsoft.

BUT I can open OE as the Admin User account and it works?

What I understood from your response is that I have to open OE as a
limited
user, correct? Unfortunately, that's the problem, I cannot fully open OE
as
a limited user.

Thanks for any further assistance or ideas! They are greatly appreciated
by
my family and myself.

The User Account's current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the

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).

I have my home computer running Windows XP and Outlook Express 6.0.
Here's
my problem. I have formed three user accounts on my computer, two
limited
accounts and one admin. account. When I try to use Outlook Express in my
limited accounts, OE will not fully open up and freezes. I look at the
task
manager at this point and see that my CPU is maxed out-it's usually over
90%
running "msimn.exe" which I know has something to do with OE. But when I
run
OE on my admin. account it works fine, even with the 3 identities I've
formed for 3 different email accounts my ISP allows.

If you look up this link on this forum, this person has the exact same
problem I'm having, but it's so old and the provided solutions are so
full
of high tech jargon, I wonder if there is an easier solution to the
problem
or maybe someone could "dumb" it down for me a bit?

I would prefer not to lose the emails I already have, but if that's not
in
the cards, then I guess that's just how it goes.

I've looked on this forum and haven't found a thread about this
particular
issue, but maybe I just missed it too. If the answer is somewhere I
neglected to look, any directions would truly be appreciated and I
apologize now if the directions are redundant.

Thank you in advance and my step children thank you because they really
want
to use their own email addresses and I really don't like doing much as
on
the computer as an admin. because I've heard it can be dangerous.
