I just got to work and when I went to open the e-mail here all of our previous e-mails were gone..even folders! I did not nor did anyone else for the small 4 person company I work for deleted them! They were there Tues when I logged off the computer and the computer has not been turned on until this morning. (I checked the log on our firewall. The other workers are more computer illiterate than I am!)  What could cause this to happen and how can I retrieve the older e-mails (We save them since we work for the state!)  The program we use is Outlook Express and we have a wireless hook-up! This morning though I got an e-mail from back in 9/05 come up as new! Any help would be great!

Outlook Express is a surrogat program. Looks like your PC lost path to your dbx file.\nDid you log in as a different user?\nAnyway, this may help:\nhttp://www.s2services.com/outlookexpressfreeware.htm

Hello\n\nShe might have used up all the space provided for her email account. Ask her to check her mail box maximum size and the current size that she is using. If she is using up all the space then she needs to delete some emails before she can receive others.\n\nHope this helps :)\n\n-------------------------\n\nI checked out that domain name. The free email they allowed me was 5MB :-( (maybe the other email account offers her more). Is she an Orange mobile customer?. If so she might have signed in for a POP3 account. In that case she might be reading her mails from the computer using a mail client (Eg: Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird) or a mobile phone. If this is true then she might have deleted the emails on her computer or mobile phone which obviously wont delete the emails on the server. So you must try deleting the emails on the server. This can be done by using a web browser (Eg: Internet Explorer). Go to http://www.orange.co.uk/ using a web browser. Type in your email address and password int the box "your email" (to the right). After signing in check the quota progress bar. And delete all the emails that she does not want. One more thing, the mail clients like Outlook Express downloads a local copy to the computer and may or may not be configured to delete the original copy from the server. In your case I think it was not configured :-(. In simple words you can save all the emails you want, if you are using an email client by just downloading a local copy on to the computer (no need of deleting the local copy since you need to delete it only when you exceed your disk space) but you must regularly delete the server copy (only if you don't use the web browser to access the email from other places than your home) since it may exceed the quota.\n\nHope this helps :-) and I didn't confuse you.

You should be able to run a search (Start-> Search-> Files & Folders) and locate the temporary directory and the file.\n\nAlso, it may have saved IN the email.  Re-Open the Email and the attachment and see if it is still there.\n\nAnother option may be to open Word and click on File, go down to the bottom of the options, the name of the file should be there, open from that point.\n\nGood luck, there are few things worse in computer land than working on something and then losing it.

copy them to .....&#92;microsoft&#92;outlook folder. (and this path is only the last point. there is something before that, search and findout). then you can see these mails in your OE

Might be might also be that your email program blocked access to it..you need to check your email account settings...if you have an IT person call them\n\nOr it might possbiily be an antivirus warning that it could not open it because it detected a flase something and a red flag went up and blocked access to it\n\nis it from someone you know?\n\nif it is not then Personally I would dump it just to be safe

Sorry, but you have a hacker to get rid of. He's logging your key strokes and probably by now has your e-mail codes.\nTry going to my computer/add/delete programs. Look through the list for one that is not started with a capitol letter.\nCan't garantee success or no damage, but he's in there and reporting on what you do. Probably sending messages from your e-mail to people you don't know, or do know, representing himself as YOU.\nI had one do that to me, and I had to replace the browser to get rid of him. You can get a new one by search/free browsers. Stay with the microsoft ones as others can mess you up too.\nTo replace a browser create a file to receive it in, find the one you want and download it to your file.\nOnce done downloading, go to the file and click install in the software. Be prepared to answer questions about what is to be used in each program. It will automatically replace your old browser, and should restore your e-mail.\nUnfortunately, since he has your codes, he can still access your mail. To stop that replace the currant code with a new one, and change it at least once a month. Don't forget to write down the change, and just draw a line through the old one so you can reuse it when you want to.........

Sry, unless there's some magic wand, then you can't retrieve it.  I save emails in folders until I can look at them more.

Your email isn't saved on your computer. It is saved on a big server somewhere. You can access it from anywhere.

All you need to do is first try a system restore, you can do this by clicking on start/programs/accessories/system tools/system restore and take it back to say, a week ago.\n\nThis should solve your problem.

It might still exist in one of your temporary directories.  Go to the email and try to determine the name of the attachment (don't reopen it or save it!). Then search your hard drive for the name of the file. If you find it, copy it to My Documents. You have a good chance of recovering it.

only way to do that is if you setup outlook to leave the messages on the server, if not you are sol.  You may be able to retrieve some messages by contacting your isp and see if they can pull up any messages that may still be stored on the server, but usually thats only going to get back ones from the last 48 hours or less, depending on your isp.

You absolutely can. Just go to the Trash Folder. It should be located around where all the other folders are. Most emails have it, I know that Yahoo does at least. All the emails that were recently deleted should be in the trash folder. However, they can be deleted at any time. So hurry up!

If this was in an email, and you haven't emptied your trash folder, you can still restore it.  Simply open your trash folder, look for that email, and move it back to your inbox.\n\nIf this was in your briefcase, I'm afraid there's no way to restore a deleted file.

It may just be that the pictures aren't there anymore. \n\nSometimes pictures aren't actually sent in the email but just linked to. If the website hosting the images deletes them, then your browser won't be able to find them and you will see the box with the red x.\n\nHave you been able to get the pictures on other computers? It may be the the server with the images is slow, or your Internet connection is slow, and it takes so long to try getting the pictures that it gives up.

Well you can try typing C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;[User Name]&#92;Local Settings&#92;Temporary Internet Files in run.  But if you cleared your cache there isn't much hope of finding the files again.  Sorry, if this doesn't help.  God Bless.

hi heart of glass, was a bit of an online gambler meself... didn't see anyone about it but luckily managed to stop meself before it got too out of hand... What I found was by limiting my computer use to 2 hours per week, i no longer had time to spend when I logged on, just enough to answer emails... drastic I know... but think of the amount you've spent so far. That could have paid fer a nice holiday I bet. Anyway good luck.

What are you using, Outlook Express?  Go to TOOLS/ACCOUNTS then delete the old MSN Account that is in there.  You should see the MSN Account and your work account listed.\n\nDunno if that is your solution since I do not have enough info.\n\nIf it works, don't worry about the 10 points, I don't answer questions to get points, I do it coz I like to (hopefully) help!\n\n:)
