I'm using Eudora, and one reason I'm using Eudora is that each email
folder has its own file on my hard drive. I back up that drive
every few days to an external drive. If there's a failure, at most
I lose a few days' email.

Sorry that we are not more helpful Gail, but what you have is a big
mess. When OE failed it rolled you back to the last time a maintenance
backup was made, which in your case is very long ago. There are 3rd
party utilities that will try to recover a corrupt mail database or at
least extract emails from it. I did this once on a Mac. The program
took several hours. It did extract the emails, but the client was not
happy with the result. Since then I have been constantly reminding my
clients who are stuck with M$ email to run maintenance and make
backups. We have been able to minimize the damage, but I have seen
plenty of failures like yours. The best we can do is limit the damage
through maintenance.
