Disappearing mail and news in Express

Somewhere at the end of 2003 I had a nasty supprise with Outlook Express.
After downloading all my mail, and news from several groups, I went back to
the first newsgroup to see what I got. Well, I had nothing left, all the
headers were gone. The same happenend in all other groups and also in all
my mail-folders.

It seems that as long as i'm downloading, everything looks fine.
After completion I double-click a header to read it, and then I get a
message stating that there is nothing to view.

No matter what I did (change view settings, reinstall express or reinstall
outlook), nothing changed, the mail and news still disappeard.


Version Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 (xpclient.010817-1148)


At the moment I use X-news as newsreader, and outlook for mail.


Anybody?
 
Hi -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:

A lot of people seem to have had that same surprise within the last week.
Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup.
