See: http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone Recovering lost messages http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 All compacting does is release wasted disk space from previously deleted messages back to the operating system for other programs to use. It does not change the format of the messages or the folders. If messages disappeared, then either the compacting got interrupted or the files are corrupted. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Varadarajam" wrote in message news:CB15A49D-62BB-4B55-849A-3E1C13BE9425@microsoft.com... > Hi all > > I am using O.E 6.0, My mail box has compacted automatically.

Why it happens: http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx Recovering data: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DBXtract http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx DBXtend (additional functionality) http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtend/Default.aspx DBXpress (faster, more powerful, with even greater functionality) http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx OEX (OE Enhancement Program) http://www.oehelp.com/OEX/Default.aspx ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Avoid Such Corruption in Future: - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose. - Empty Deleted Items folder daily. - Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm. - Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection. - WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is automatically compacting your message store. -- OE6-specific newsgroup: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE) & Security, AH-VSOP Varadarajam wrote: > Hi all > > I am using O.E 6.0, My mail box has compacted automatically.
