I've never heard of that, I use OE and save tons of emails in many folders. The compacting does not delete any emails, I guess it just squashes them all together to make more room? That's the visual that popped into my brain,lol

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Saving Messages In OE



Hi listers. What is the maximum number of messages that can be safely saved in a user-defined Outlook Express folder? The reason I am asking this question is that I just noticed that some of the earliest messages in my user-defined OE folders have inexplicably disappeared. Since I never conciously deleted them, I am assuming that they were deleted automatically by OE or by some other process I am not aware of. I know that the Compact All Folders option compacts all OE folders to save disk space and make OE run more efficiently, but does it also delete the oldest messages from each folder if it has grown too large? Or are messages automatically deleted after they have been saved for a certain period of time? Thanks for any explanation.

Gerald
