    Using OE 6
    6.00 2900.2180(XPSP_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
    I haven`t detected any pattern but some of my incoming Emails that should go to inbox go directly to deleted items
    maybe one out of ten do this. What should I look for?

    Hi Dick

    Any antispam software running? Any specific Message Rules in operation?

    If that's not the problem the Inbox folder may be corrupted....

    In OE make a new folder InboxOld and drag all mails from Inbox to that folder.

    Close OE and search for (include hidden files & folders) Inbox.dbx and delete it.

    Open OE, the Inbox will be recreated.

    Drag the mails from InboxOld to Inbox and delete InboxOld.

    See how it goes :)

    My service provider supplies " Postini" For stopping unwanted messages. It runs all the time.
    Message rules ? I know not whereof you speak. Enlighten me.

    Alas,
    I`ve received 23 messages since yesterday, four of them went to deleted items instead of the inbox. I`ll write down the next group of deleted messages and see if they`ve got any thing in common. Got any other suggestions?

    Try running through the various stages of Outlook Express Repair Kit, especially the re-registration of OE and associated library files.

    It seems to have healed up, why, I don`t know. I did as you advised in message # 3, then raised the size of message rules ( It was there even after I thought I had deleted it)
    these steps didn`t seem to cure the problem. I emptied the deleted Items message box an it hasn`t bobbled since. Do you suppose it`s cured? If so I wonder what cured it ? Hmmm.

    Time will tell :) Certainly a strange problem, but then OE does strange things occasionally, especially if the folders are large - 100's Mb > 1 Gb
