Today, Outlook Express 6.0 asked me if it should compress messages.

I answered 'yes'. After that, my inbox was empty as well as my sent-messages
folder.

This was certainly NOT what I had planned. I thought compression is
something different from deletion!

How can I retrieve those messages? Anyone with an idea? I tried importing
messages from the 'import messages' option but it says it cannot find
messages.

Thanks a zillion in advance!
