O/S: Windows 98 4.10.1998 Internet Explorer 5 6.0.2800.1106. I cannot open my Outlook Express unless I turn my computer completely off and then turn it back on. It says it cannot open this folder. Everything else like sent mail, deleted mail etc will open when clicked on but not the infolder. Also, all my back email has dissappeared. It's not in the delete folder. It's just gone. I didn't delete it either. Is there anyway I can get it back? Any help appreciated.

In OE go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and write down where OE is storing its data. Open Windows Explorer. Click Tools | Folder Options | View and make sure "Show all messages" is selected. Go to the Store Folder you wrote down above. What folders do you see with Inbox in their names and what are their sizes? -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.
