Not sure what happened, but my wife came to me this morning and said that
several of her Outlook Express email folders had become empty. Does not
seem to be any pattern but more than a dozen folders (created under the
Inbox) have gone empty. There were several critical emails in many of
these folders.

When I look at the message store the .dbx file size is still quite large
for each of the "empty" folders.

Is there any way to recover the emails that were in these folders? Does
anyone have an explanation for what could have happened?

All help is appreciated.
