That is how many emails I need to sort through and delete... 

I would just do a blanket delete but last time I did that I did delete some important emails.. 

So.. a question... 

I have windows 7 with Microsoft office 2007.... 

It is archiving almost 4000 emails to a place I can't seem to find.. 

If I do a search of all emails using common words I can usually find them and remove them but last time that took me forever... 

I have automatic archiving off so I am not sure why it is doing this... following the help guide does me no good either... 

anyone have any idea of what is going on and where to look for them and to stop it from happening again.

Cat, if you set up auto archive it is very easy to find emails in the archive folder. You can archive emails on old comp and move to a usb drive to transfer to new comp. The only catch is that they will only open via outlook. Assuming you are using outlook. Another idea is to create a file to drop and drag important emails into so they don't get lost amongst the ones that need trashing.

geez, you must be an important person, cat!

I approach my email collection with a somewhat religious fervour ... when I have deleted and filed 100 or so mails, I feel so holy.  When my inbox is down to 10 pages of important and relevant emails that I have to take action on (instead of 100), you can call me St Katy and pray to me.  It happens rarely enough to BE a miracle.

I have two email addresses.. One for spam, and one that I actually use..

Gmail is actually pretty efficient at sorting out spam, rarely has it put something important in spam

[catsnknots]

I have four emails 

one personal

one spam

one business

and one that is just there coz I liked the email address and I have never used it so it gets nothing... 

I have thought about setting up an archive but never got around to it... if I know where it is then that is fine and easy to to to and delete them all.. 

but I don't know where these ones are going...

Hot mail is my favourite though it has changed to outlook express.

But I only talk to a couple of people on there and I don't get any spam.

optus seems to get a lot of spam I also have a gmail account but I don't remember the password.

life can't be too interesting for you Karen if you want to know what affairs other people are having, they can't bring you any excitement. :^O

Interesting enough life, thanks margo, but I'd never say no to a good laugh. I wish they'd tell me :_|

I just remembered another one, the car park kiss one :^O

OK you two, back to ya corners and don't come out till ya HEARS the bell ring....OK?:^O

[cueperkins]

btw, I use Gmail and Hotmail like internet garbage bins.  Hardly ever log into the ones for Ebay etc.....so much spam it ain't funny.  I Keep a private one separately = much easier to sort the Ham from the Spam when there's no Spam.

but I don't know where these ones are going... 

are they archived in your webmail?
