| 1317999 | 2012-12-13 05:54:00 | In the last 6 months my email client has dropped all emails from my in box twice. I run Windows XP with Outlook Express 6. On the first occasion we were with telecom and we could retrieve from their server. In the meantime we have changed to Vodafone and they didn't tell us to tick the right boxes to retain them on their server so we have lost them. Both companies say not their fault must be my computer programme. Anything I should check to prevent a recurrence. Pretty sure all updates have been loaded. | Mervyn (824) | ||
| 1318000 | 2012-12-13 06:01:00 | Is your drive using FAT32 filesystem? If it is you may well be hitting the 4GB file limit for your inbox.dbx file, causing corruption. | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 1318003 | 2012-12-13 07:25:00 | Thanks for advice. Not sure if that is the problem but will certainly keep to minimum in future. I had reduced in box to 53 emails, sent box certainly had more but no graphic attachments to speak of just words. | Mervyn (824) | ||
