Compact Database??

R

Ross Lindsay

Hi. I am having trouble accessing attachments in old email. The list says
that the emails are say 1Mb, however the email is just a few lines of text
and no sign of the attachment anywhere! It seems like this has mostly
happened to older mail.

Would this be the result of doinbg a rebuild/compacting of the database? And
if so, is there a way of it becoming un-compacted or accessible again??

From the size of the database file, I have no doubt that all these
attachments are still in there somewhere, somehow.

Thanks,
Ross
