Thank you Flor.
I am having a hard time trying to follow your directions. I have to read
this a few times.
I will Google for help.
Would you be able to explain, in more detail, putting messages in the proper
level of local folders?
Rich

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!
