The pain is hard to bear.

618708 2007-12-08 04:59:00 linw:- I went to that site. Did the compact all mess. No change. I think the rest is a bit beyond me. gradebdan (2186)
618709 2007-12-08 05:43:00 What about a dot along side Copy of show all messages?

It must be in the settings,don't you think?

618710 2007-12-08 06:07:00 I put a dot alongside Copy of show all mess. Then I got an error mess.pop3 server can not be found. I then "deleted" the dot.
What about if I do a system restore to about five days back when I did not have this problem?

618711 2007-12-08 07:30:00 I've definitely used system restore to great advantage in the past.

You didn't answer my question regarding whether the problem pertained to only the Inbox.

If you don't mind losing the Inbox contents, it can be deleted (or renamed, preferably) and OE will recreate it. There are commercial programs that say they can extract messages from corrupted dbx files - depends what the Inbox is worth to you.

I suggested that,as that is my setting?

System restore is worth a try,I hope you have tried a reboot,that solves lots.

618713 2007-12-08 08:27:00 The prob. seems to be in and out boxes. I tried to send an email and it said..The host could not be found........socket error11001.. error No. 0x800CCCOD. I then did a system restore and now everything is working normally. I do not know why I did not think of that earlier. Thanks very much for all your inputs. gradebdan (2186)
