You could try ScanDisk. that just might restore the emails as they were.
In the distant past, when i had a problem like this, I eventually did,
successfully, get all of my folders with messages back through the Run
dialogue (and Windows Explorer), by renaming each of the folders - in
its turn - Inbox.dbx. After each rename, I would reopen outlook Express;
and the lost messages for that renamed folder would then appear. I would
then, using Outlook Express itself, having deleted the malfunctioning
older folder beforehand, create a new folder (as if it were the old lost
one) in outlook Express and move the messages from my newly created
"Inbox" back to it. (It didn't work unless I did all of this.) I also
needed to close (and then reopen Outlook Express when ready), after each
new creation of the inbox.dbx file/folder.
If you look in your Recycle Bin, you may discover that you have .dbx
files that were put there when Outlook Express compacted emails. (This
has happened for the past nearly six years, in the compaction process.
there are instructions you can google for restoring such .dbx files if
you google a phrase such as, restore .dbx files. In future, put all of
your own OE folders at the same level as your Inbox, not under it; i.e.,
at the level under Local Folders (as the Inbox and outbox, etc, are in
the same order already).

It is my understanding, restore won't do it.
There is a way to go to the storage folder and retrieve messages, but
I never had to or did it.
To get there.
One
in the preview control+ shift+ o for options
Go to the maintenance page and enter on store folder
Than tab to the pass
Copy it and paste it in the run box
enter and your bdx folders should be there.
Maybe a google search may be able to instruct you how to get your
messages back.

With XP home and 13, how do I use the system restore to locate lost e
mails from Outlook Express?
Where do I find system restore?
Thanks!
