Sherri,
First, you can get a version of OE for Windows 7-10 if you want. It is at
runasxp.com.
Ok, I found this on a Microsoft Answers site; hope this helps...

Symptoms
When you start Outlook Express, some of your default folders (Inbox,
Drafts,
and so on) or personal subfolders that you created may be missing from the
Local Folders list. The folders were previously visible.
Cause
This issue can occur if the Folders.dbx file is damaged or corrupted.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, rename the Folders.dbx file for the impacted
identity
and then start Outlook Express. This allows Outlook Express to rebuild a
new
Folders.dbx file.
To rename and rebuild the Folders.dbx file:
1.. In Outlook Express, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click
the Maintenance tab.
2.. Click Store Folder, and then make a note of the path to your Store
folder on your disk drive. You cannot type in this box, but you can move
through the box by using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard.
3.. Close the Store Folder and Options dialog boxes, and then quit
Outlook
Express.
4.. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
5.. Locate the Store folder (you noted the path to the Store folder in
step 2).
6.. Right-click the Folders.dbx file in this folder, and then click
Rename
on the shortcut menu.
7.. Type Folders.old, and then press the ENTER key. Make sure that the
file is renamed to Folders.old, and then quit Windows Explorer.
8.. Start Outlook Express. This automatically creates a new Folders.dbx
file; your folders should be displayed correctly.
NOTE: Always back up your data before you make any modifications to any
message store files, such as the Folders.dbx file. For additional

Yes, I know, OE is not available any more, but it is still on my computer
that runs XP. What has happened is that several of my folders are not
showing. I can find them when I do a search with "my computer" for DBX
files, but I can't get them to show up in the list view of my folders. I
know there was a way to recover folders, but I don't remember how to do
it.
And yes, I am getting a new computer. Anyway, these are important
messages
and folders, so if anyone could please give me any suggestions, I would
be
very happy! Thank you.

people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not
