Re: OE6 - Missing Email

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Mr. Pickering,

Thank you for your extremely quick response. I'm a Director in Operations
for a worldwide supplier of telecom hardware/software for mobile networks
responsible for worldwide support. I must say, I'm not only impressed with
your response time, but also your knowledge of the product. I'm a very well
versed used of Outlook. My wife uses OE and I've been taking a crash course
is OE, especially in the area of how OE stores email. What I didn't realize
was what (1), (2) actually meant on folders. I figured Inbox got too large
and created a (1) version, but I see that I was wrong. I will exercise your
suggestions. Again, thank you.
