Re: Inbox Limits & Strange Problem

I would backup everything first and then go to File | Identities and set up a new Identity. Then import the messages from the older Identity as needed.

Then backup the new Identity.

Hello again,

SIZE CONFUSION

Sorry for the size confusion. It is indeed a huge database, which is split
into 317 *.dbx files in the Outlook Express database folder. All togheter
make those 3.96 GB

WHAT I'VE FOUND

Well, until now I've followed all your directions and found this:

1. Inbox folder contains 208 sub-folders, with 2004 messages, 151 still
unread.
2. Sent Items folder contains 3 sub-folders, with 3856 messges on them.
3. Deleted Items has no messages or sub-folders.
4. There are four folders (Personal, In Process, Allegro+CD and Registrations)

In Process = 5 sub-folders, 40 messages
Personal = 73 sub-folders, 3402 messages
Allegro+CD = 20 messages
Registrations = 21 sub-folders, 623 messages

UNTIL NOW

1. I've disabled the AV protection - Installed AV was Norton Internet
Security 2004 with Norton Anti-Spam

2. SP-2 for Windows XP was installed yesterday, after I received the
computer. This probably means that Background Compactation was active and
working before, and possibly corrupting the database.

3. I've found 79 *.dbx files which names ends with a (1) like
"others(1).dbx" or other number. I understand for what I've read that those
files are created when the original file gets corrupted. So there are the new
(1) files and the old files there.

4. I've deleted and re-created all the folder files. Now the mail messages
are being received correctly. It was obviously some corrution there.

Well can anyone give some extra advice?
How can I make this and previous posts sent to me by mail ?
It could be useful and convincing for my client to read them also.

I'll be waiting, in the mean time, if every one of you, fine people
don't hear a word from me tomorrow, Have a Happy New Year 2006 !

Sincerely,
