Compressed OE. Now I can't receive mail.

Last night, I compressed the Inbox to Outlook Express 6.0, and now I can't send or receive email. The program doesn't even go out to the Web.

I looked for an uncompress command, but couldn't find it. There's nothing on the Microsoft site about it, either.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Many thanks, in advance

I can't think of any solution to this. If nothing else works, have you considered using an alternate email client? Mozilla Thunderbird, perhaps? Smiling

OK. After unloading and loading the software several times, I can now receive and send mail.

Maybe it's a glitch in the compression feature. :q:
