618696 2007-12-07 08:04:00 I have been using OE for quite a while. Today after opening and closing a bit I noticed that it opened on my last "looked at '' email and not the list of all my emails in my INBOX,. If I click on the left for INBOX where it tables... IN.. OUT... SENT.... DEL.. nothing happens. I am sure there is an easy answer to this prob. but I can not find it Please help me to view my list in the Inbox. gradebdan (2186)
618697 2007-12-07 08:16:00 Go to View | Current View and be sure it is set to "Show All Messages
Also check there that Group by conversation is not ticked

Did you also check that "Show all messages" is selected, should have a dot beside it.

Do you have McAfee VirusScan installed by any chance.

How long is quite a while and did you have LOTS of mail esp with attachments?

Do you empty out the Sent Items as well as the deleted Items folders ?

If you have to much email 2 Gb Total in ALL folders combined Outlook Express will Corrupt - it has a limit as to what it can hold.

618703 2007-12-07 09:17:00 Hi :- I am always deleting my "sent" and "deleted". The total before could be about 25 mb.,nothing anywhere near 2gb. gradebdan (2186)
618704 2007-12-07 13:50:00 Try the Find symbol (top of page on the right) and fill in the Dialog Box with details of any message you know is in there somewhere - preferably in Inbox.

Then see whether that takes you to a recognisable page from where you can restore normal settings.

Check you're not on Newsgroup settings by mistake.

Check Recycle Bin.

By using...ctrl> I was able to progress thro my emails but still only one at a time. No way can I get the list of all the emails up in my inbox. Recycle bin was empty. gradebdan (2186)
