Well a technician said that adding a newsgroup does (OE) dump the
deleted items folder..and does so on a regular basis as it loads mail

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!


Ummm - the Deleted Items folder is for ITEMS THAT ARE DELETED! What
numbskull "stores" emails in the Deleted Items folder?

Sheeesh!

And joining a newsgroup should have NO effect on any mail folders AT ALL so
I don't quite know what you did.

Everybody! The box by "Empty items from the deleted items folder on exit"
is not checked, was not checked....ever.......... Iolo
was able to open the file "Identities under Application Data, however, even though IOLO found Folders dbx and inbox dbx....when I went to this identities folder it
said zero files, 0 folders. Maybe security issue? ANybody know how to open this
"identities" folder and see the Outlook Express stuff?How is it Iolo sees stuff in it and I can't?

Who or what is "lolo"?
Did you read my previous suggestions?
Do you have more than one identity? If so, are you sure you are looking
in the correct identity?
