Is it possible for OE to lose messages I sent
Is it possible for OE to lose some messages I sent. I was checking SENT for
a sent message and couldn't find it (actually, I move messages out of SENT after a while and put them into SAVED). I'd swear I sent it, but now I'm wondering. Jack |

Is it possible for OE to lose messages I sent
It is possible. You move messages out of Sent Items which is good. Do you
compact often? Do you do all of the following? General precautions for Outlook Express: Do not archive mail in the Inbox or Sent Items. Create your own user defined folders and move the messages you wish to save to them. Empty Deleted Items folder daily. Although dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2GB, I recommend about a 300MB max for less chance of corruption. Information about the maximum file size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=903095 After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while working *offline* and do it often. Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed. Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}. And backup often.

Bruce,
You move messages out of Sent Items Yes -- I try not to accumulate more than 100 messages there. compact often? Approx once/wk. Do not archive mail in the Inbox or Sent Items. Create your own user defined folders and move the messages you wish to save to them. Empty Deleted Items folder daily. Although dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2GB, I recommend about a 300MB max for less chance of corruption. Yes to all above. No .dbx file is 300 mb at present.

There are recovery tools, but if you are not even sure you actually sent the
message do you want to go that route? You /may/ find the message with one of these tools. Note that only DBXpress has a chance if the folders have been compacted.

Bruce,
There's the rub -- I am not absolutely positive I sent the message. Well, anyway, I will now be a little more attentive all the way around, including compacting, size, etc. Question: If I backup (via Explore using copy/paste to another folder on the HD) the dbx files and later want to open one without disturbing the current same dbx file, what's the best way to do that?

Is it possible for OE to lose messages I sent
You want to move all your current dbx files to another location as an
archive? Any particular reason? If you do, you would have to bring them back into OE to read them. Not always a simple thing to do. If you want folders with messages out of your current folder tree, the easiest way around this is to create another identity and import the folders you want to archive to it. This way you can just switch identities to read them if need be. How to Create and Use Identities in Outlook Express http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209169 I would still get OEQB.
