| 260776 | 2004-08-12 04:42:00 | I am trying to change the store folder for Outlook Express. Hundreds of messages in the folders but only 3 messages show up. I currently have 3 separate folders for messages - can change the store location for 2 of them no problem but the third one ... All this came about through various re-formats. The messages I am looking for (in particular a photo attachment) would have been created/received in OE6 end of last year, early this year. I've also tried opening one of the others and importing messages - it imported the 3 messages. Any ideas? |
