Default .dbx problem

I have tried everything and unfortunately was unable to recover the
messages.

Would PCTools program be able to do anything? Registry Fix?

Would restoring system day before crash be able to restore the .dbx files at
that point in time to their original state on the day before the crash?

Thanks.

The same thing happened to me last week.
Halve of my stuff is gone.

I had experienced a crash last week and after that out of the 20 folders
in
my Outlook Express 6 Inbox, 10 were there with all the e-mails intact but
in
the latter 10 folders, the e-mails are gone. One of the folders shows
e-mails but it says "message has not been downloaded" and when you click
on
it it says "message cannot be displayed".

I had purchased DBXtract program as well as R-Mail, as well as DBXpress.
All of these failed to recover the lost e-mails from the empty folders.
Before that I did the disk defragmenter, system restore, etc.

I tried to find a way to maybe reinstall Outlook Express and IE but after
3
days of searching on the net I was unable to find anything that would
basically delete the outlook program and ie program I have now but not
lose
all the information.

I even tried amending Registry Keys and that didn't work. I even turned
off
e-mail scanning on my anti-virus program.

I also notice that in the far right corner of my Inbox, on the view where
all the e-mails are listed, it states "Main Identity". I remember that
before it didn't state that. Also, I realize there is some type of
"clone"
of Inbox - maybe that could bring back old e-mails, or if I restored the
old
identity before the crash would that bring any results?

I would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you.
