This is causing us havoc. Normally when you receive an Email outlook displays
it as an unread message. The other day Outlook started attaching the Email to
other Emails received earlier, not neccessarily from the same person. This
doesn't happen with all Emails, just some of them. There is no rhyme or
reason for this as some of Emails are totally unrelated to the Email they are
attaching themselves too.

Create a new Identity.
How large is you inbox file?

This isn't a size issue there's ample room there. It doesn't happen with all
Emails its almost random. Creating a new identity is not an option for me due
to circumstances.
Thaks!

Outlook, or Outlook Express?

Make sure: View | Current View - Show All Messages.

View | Sort By - Received.

What do you consider ample size? You should never keep messages in default
folders, and the ones you create should be kept no larger than 100MB.

Why can't you create a new identity and test it? Anyone can.

Thanks Bruce, that cured it , although how it had been changed is a mystery.
The reason I knew it wasn't full is because all EMails are wiped clean every
so often and spam is deleted instantly and although 100mb is allocated it
never exceeds 25mb anyway.
Anyways! the girls at the office that use that PC are offering to have your
Baby they are so pleased the problem is sorted

You're welcome. I have OE settings change myself. I believe it's the work of
aliens.

Tell the girls thanks, but one kid is enough for me. <VBG>

What cured it, a new Identity?

Give the girls this:

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in WinXP SP2 and Win2K03] and
frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 & Win2K03 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

It was cured by changing the 'view' Lord knows how this got altered. As Bruce
said, probably the work of Aliens.
