I was having trouble yesterday opening Outlook Express on my old resource-challenged system. When I was opening HWiNFO32 at the same time as Outlook Express, I got OE opened, but HWiNFO32 froze, so badly that I had to reboot with the power button.

(So now I know I can't do anything simultaneous with opening Outlook Express on this system.:()

A number of the e-mails that are there now have this instead of the e-mail text:

Message has not been downloaded
Outlook Express has not yet downloaded this message.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To download the message:

Click here [athcmd:download].
Press Space.

So far that has not worked for me, and I can't open those messages.

When I brought OE back up on the next session, dozens of other e-mails are missing, apparently e-mails that were being loaded at the time HWiNFO32 got hung. How do I get them back?

All copies of your mails should be available on Microsoft Outlook/Hotmail server. Try logging in through your browser to see if your mails are there...

Thank you so much.

I've never accessed my OE emails online before. I suppose that is done through Outlook.com (which I've never used before)?
