Missing Outbox

[FRISKA]

Re my message posted earlier which was intercepted by Chris? Please advise further on instructions you gave. Tks.

[boxtops]

can you put a lnk to the original question, friska? I can't see it any where in your history.

FRISKA, The message which you posted earlier, reads, "Tks Chris?? for prompt reply. I tried what you advise but how do I go from Start toOutbox.dbox ? John P "

However, as you do not appear to have received a response to the question which you posed therewith, I also, along with boxtops, respectfully request a link to your original posting.

Ron.

Well you've got me confused as well!

Looking through your posts, there doesn't appear to be one about a missing outbox (and the last time I was involved with any of your questions appears to be in early 2009!)

Please post your question again, remembering to tell us which program you're using to send your mail.

FAO Boxtops, Vivandorran and Buenchico. Thanks foryour input. I will try and explain. I originally typed in a message stating that I couldnt find Outbox on my E Mail list. The usual Inbox, Drafts, Scam etc were there but the Outbox was missing. Before I had time to Submit a reply cameup immediately here in the orange coloured window. I think it was signed Chris - and then told me toClose OE.Start -Click Outbox dbx Etc The message then disappeared asquickly as it came leaving me with nothing on AB. Any ideas ?

FRISKA, Permit me to ask "What orange coloured window and where was it located on the page"?.

Ron.

It looks like you typed your question into the search box, at the top of the page, instead of entering a title into the question box. That resulted in AB's server finding an old post of mine (from 22 December 2006!), which was irrelevant to your question anyway.

We're now getting closer to understanding your problem but you've still not told us which email program you're using (e.g. Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, etc) or whether you're actually using a web-based mail system (accessed through your web browser) and, if so, which one.

Tks Ron and Chris It certainly does appear that I typed the question in the wrong box and AB came in immediately with their answer ( still in the orange box)
We use BT Yahoo as our server via Outlook Express and MicrosoftXP.

Well that's certainly odd. Outlook Express normally recreates any missing 'standard' folders (such as Inbox, Outbox, etc) when you restart it. It might be that the Outbox files actually exists, but that it's become corrupted and Outlook Express can't access it.

Try closing Outlook Express and using the Windows search facility to look for *.dbx.
If you find a file named Outbox.dbx, right-click on it, delete it, restart your computer and see if your Outbox has reappeared.
