Hi,
When you go to your Inbox, you are in a tree view of folders. (Shift-tab
away from the message list if you're there.) Up-arrow or backspace from
Inbox. You will see Local Folders opened. (lerft arrow closes it. In the
same way, if your Inbox says opened, left-arrow closes it.) Now
down-arrow to see the list of folders on the same level. Now when you
create a new folder, assuming you do that, create it here, not in or
under the inbox. (This in some measure protects you if your Inbox
becomes corrupted. If all of your other created folders are under the
inbox they too would have become corrupted.)

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!
Rich
