Paula;

1. Your tech is full of it. Fire him and spend your money with a tech who
knows what he is talking about.

2. I have used OE and Outlook for years. Adding newsgroups does NOT delete
anything. let me repeat that...adding newsgroups does NOT delete anything.

3. If you lost your husbands emails, it is because YOU did something to
delete them. Besides, only an idiot would store his files in the deleted
items folder.

4. Perhaps you are not quite ready to be using OE and outlook. I would
sugest a visit to your local bookstore or library. There are many books out
there written in simple language on how to use your computer and apps like
OE and Outlook. I suggest you do some reading.

I followed the directions to sign up for the Outlook Express Newsgroup
(add newsgroup) on My husband's Outlook Express mail box and now
everything is gone from his folder "Deleted items" folder where he
was storing mail. Joining a Newsgroup does a "Clean Install" ..no
one mentioned this in the join up procedure. ANy way to retrieve
anything would be a happy ending.... Restore Points unsuccessful.
thank you Paula in Stockton ............ I am in trouble!
