outlook express compacting emails

MURP · June 06, 2006, 10:44:53 AM

Outlook express decided to compact my emails and now most of the older emails are gone. Where did they go and how do I get them back. I know, i hate Outlook express but it is on the work computer. Any help would be most appreciated.

IGY... you have close to 7,500 posts here. Why would you want e-mails for thread replies??

That's an awful lot of e-mails to sort through.

Outlook Express is lousy, but if it's any consolation...I'm using Lotus Notes at work, and omg it farging blows. Slowtus, we call it.

Yeah, I pretty much hate Lotus Notes.

I hate Lotus software more than all of you combined. Trust me.

My IT guy just told me this morning we use Lotus because it's supposedly virus proof, being a database rather than email. Is this true, and what the hell does that mean anyway?

Eh, I don't know. I've had to use this crap in a number of jobs, and I even had to build a bastichized HTML/Lotus-based Intranet for one MAJOR company. Red Box of Death galore right there. And all of the retarded databases...horrors.
