Are you attempting to recover messages from Hotmail-Sent Items folder (per
your original thread here, "what the? BEAR and the other pros...are you
there??") ?

Have you compacted all OE folders since they went missing?

try getting a free dbx viewer from snapfish.com to try to find and recover
lost (maybe) OE files.

I did all that and installed a program (freeware) called OE View but now I
don't know where to look in the computer.

I"ve looked in the Outlook Express folder in the Program Files folder but
no dbx files or any kind of OE database.

Where the Sam Hill are the OE emails stored on the computer?? What
directory? Anybody know?
