Get an Oe Repair tool might be your best answer. Likely the old folder is in your recycle bin with a .bak extension. But, getting it back where OE recognizes it might be a challenge. You can try restoring it and maybe it will still be recognized.
But, if that doesn't work, then you will need something like OeRepair. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Levy To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2014 7:11 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Recovering Lost Outlook Express Messages This is certainly a strange one. Yesterday, as I always do at the end of the month, I performed a compact all folders procedure in Outlook Express on my XP system. I have 82 folders in various categories which hold all the messages I have decided to save. But for some reason, all the messages in the last 12 folders on the list were somehow permanently deleted, because they were all there before I performed the compact all procedure. The first 67 folders appear to be intact, and I did not lose any messages from them. Is there any way to recover the lost messages from the last 12 folders? Or are they gone forever? I already tried a system restore to no avail. Thanks.
