After some months of use my Outlook Express is automatically deleting all emails received and stored in the Inbox. This has now happened for the third time and I have lost important emails received earlier. My 'Sent Items' folder is unaffected. Can anyone suggest how to rectify this problem? Has it got to do with the configuration or settings of Outlook Express or any resident virus is in my comp is responsible for this ? Please help.|||If you are using Yahoo Mail, the problem is not with your computer. There have been 100 posts about this happening. Yahoo is having a terrible time. They have not explained why. They will fix it.


If you are not using Yahoo, Outlook Express does not have a setting to delete inbox emails. And no virus has been seen that does that. You will have to contact MSN.

Antispam filters use various different rules. With some systems, you can report messages as spam or not-spam and it will learn what your preferences are, e.g. recognize your friend's addresses, or see that you like mail about travel opportunities.





Sometimes your friends get targetted by profiling. E.g. If your friend lives in Nigeria, a US system may say "100% of all messages I've seen so far from Nigeria are spam, so chances are this one is, too"





If you look at the open-source SpamAssassin, you can see exactly the rules that some filters use. Things like "title is all caps", "sent directly from a home PC", "uses the word viagra" all get points, and if the total goes over 5, it gets flagged.

The spammer might be trashing your Inbox to eliminate responses and delivery failure notices to the spam messages.


Try changing your password and see if that helps. Also, while you are in your account settings, check for tampering with your alternate email contact address. That can be used to obtain new passwords.
