OT Outlook express prob
 

It won't come as any surprise to those that don't like it but my OE is
playing up!
This morning all my contacts had disappeared, checked the address book which
was full of names and emails but from 4 years ago, nothing more recent, yet
when I found the address book in the address folder all was there?
I imported the names and address back to the OE address book, and that is
now working again but it still wont admit I have any contacts! (is it trying
to tell me something :~)

Anyone know what may have occurred, or how to put it right?

It's probably a corrupt file and it usually happens with the inbox/outbox
folders which can just be deleted from the location folder and then
automatically recreate themselves when O/E is restarted.
If you are on XP or Vista then just try a system restore to a few days ago.

Something similar occurs on Forte Agent if you allow the disk to get
close to being full. The index fille gets written but there's no room
to write the data, so the index points at garbage.

As always. it's worth a check to see if the disk is getting full.
