From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 12 Aug 2010 11:13 Are you in the habit of leaving OE open 24/7, even while the computer's in Standby or Hibernate mode overnight? How many messages are located in your Inbox folder right now? How many messages are located in Sent Items folder right now? How many messages are located in Deleted Items folder right now? How frequently do you compact all OE folders?

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 12 Aug 2010 21:41 Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity... File | Identities | Add new identity Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File | Identities | Manage Identities). If still no joy... <canned> You may be seeing the effects of a hijackware infection! NB: If you had no anti-virus application installed or the subscription had expired *when the machine first got infected* and/or your subscription has since expired and/or the machine's not been kept fully-patched at Windows Update, don't waste your time with any of the below: Format & reinstall Windows.
