    Dissappearing email in outlook express

    Locked

    by john h. ·

    My email occasionally disappears, usually @ the worst possible time. I can see that there are unread msgs in the folder, then when I click on the folder, it is empty. If I look in the store folder, I see the {folder}.idx file and the same w/ a {1} after the folder name. The folder w/ the 1 is a new, empty folder. MS mentions it, but they were not very clear. Also want to know how to access those idx files.

      Have you checked your View settings? It’s possible that you are somehow using a filter and therefore do not see certain of your new mail messages.

      Go to your menu bar, select “View” -> Current View -> Customise Current View or Define View to see what your view settings are.

        It is not the view. I can go to the folder where the email files are stored and see that a new file has been created for the folder w/ the missing msgs.
