Cannot locate folders after compression in OE

[Criss]

When openning OE a couple months ago it started (automatically) to "Compress
files." I stopped it a few seconds later to find that the folders that it had
comressed were now empty. When I click on Properties and copy the file
location, Search cannot find that location.

Any ideas?

And that is your problem - you should NEVER stop the compression process.
Look in your Recycle bin for copies of your mail folders prior to compress.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're

Good luck!
