| 754692 | 2009-03-09 01:44:00 | I would then try to import OE into Thunderbird: www.mozillamessaging.com See what happens. Great call, give that man a DB. :thumbs: Thankyou so much Rob, I was getting close to despair. :thanks Yes, all mail has migrated to Thunderbird and maybe I'll leave it as my default email client. The missing stuff is all there. And yes, I realised after I'd posted, that the instruction to leave mail on the server is in email client Options. Another great save by Press F1. |

| 754693 | 2009-03-09 01:53:00 | email to your self. Call it Test - then when it comes in, do a search for the new mail and select all folders, and then see where it was put. Thanks for the suggestion Wainuitech. I tried that yesterday. Sent the Test, heard it come in (Boink), searched every folder I could see in OE..........and found nothing. Indeed the very first thing I did when the mail disappeared was search using "Find" for recent mail which I knew had been received. Is there another better way to seach for mail? |

| 754695 | 2009-03-09 22:24:00 | Bit of a weird problem . My Inbox now only shows emails up until May 2008 . Your Inbox could possibly have become overloaded . Email clients were never intended to be used as storage for today's humongous HTML emails and attachments that we send and receive and OE especially baulks when its Inbox gets too overweight . If you are happy with Thunderbird then continue using it but to avoid situations like this happening it is best to create sub-folders in OE and move emails out of the Inbox into these folders . Or, better yet, do not hoard so much email . :p |

Maybe I should elect a cutoff date and make a subfolder for each year. Must say that I've tried Thunderbird before and now, and......its not quite right. Probably too used to OE for 10 years but so far Thunderbird doesn't appear as easy to setup. |
