Outlook Express 6.0 Sent & Deleted items

[Brian]

A few months ago, I started getting messages that space could be saved in my
OE folders and I agreed to let the system "compact" my folders. I save all
sent and deleted emails, but to minimize the folder size, I have them
segregated by year. I have 4 Deleted folders & 4 Sent folders (2004, 2005,
2006, Sent Items), but when I now go into the folders, most of the messages
are gone. Not all of them are missing, but most are. How do I access these
"compacted" messages?

Thanks!

For Outlook Express support, you'll want to ask in the
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general newsgroup.

Since you're also using the web based newsreader rather than outlook
express, you might want to use
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...px?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
(or, since you're using Outlook Express for mail, look at the steps in
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/newsgroups101.mspx for
how to set up OE to use the microsoft newsgroup server).
