Pocket Outlook Folder Corruption

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I'm not an expert on this, but I assume - correct me if
I'm wrong, that this folder is stored in rom? If it is,
a hard reset *should* fix this, and bring the folder back
to it's default (uncorupted) setting. However, I would
normaly say do a backup before doing a hard reset, but
you may just copy the problem over, do you have a
previous backup prior to the problem that you could
restore after you do a hard reset?

Again - I'm not an expert on this, so you may want to see
if someone else posts on this.

Good luck!

I think the data would be in RAM but the product would
be in ROM.

Any MS employees out there to address this?

Hi,

I tried to post this yesterday, but somehow it ended up in
the wrong place.

A databast editor like "Pocket dbExplorer" allows you to
empty the email database or simply remove the offending
items. I had similar problems and solved it this way.
