Off topic, but I could use some help.
Tuesday afternoon my email on Outlook Express (yes I know there are other
programs and Apple is better, etc, but I am stuck with this for now) took a
dump. All emails from 10/16/06 forward disappeared. Some 40-60 emails a day.
Also, I could send messages, but not recieve them. Actually, they appreared
to be received, but would not show up in my inbox.
After our "Director of Systems" came and spent some 8 hours+ working on
this, things are restored...BUT he deleted three years worth of folders
containing all my business correspondence and reports for vendors and
customers.
I had deleted a few thousand "less important" emails yesterday, and a few of
the missing emails (like 6) showed up.
All of the "missing" emails from the 31st and 1st are there now, but heaven
help me if I need any of my old stuff.
Is there a setting I don't know about that limits the size of the
files/folders in Outlook? If that's the case, why wouldn't deleting a few of
the
folders allow the 60 or so missing emails to appear?
Again, I know Microsoft is the devil and Outlook is useless, yadda, yadda,
yadda, but any advice on how to save, recover, my old emails, and how to
prevent this recurring in the future. I know my wife's work limits her number
of
emails at the server and she is forced to delete the old ones, but I've never
had that problem in the past, and I can't tell you how may times finding a
year old email has saved my ass.
