Computer crashed, but can't open retoeved OE files
Hello,
I don't know if what I am asking is possible...but to make a long (and sad)
story short, my C drive crashed and try as I may, I was forced to use my
recovery disk and reformat my computer to factory conditions (1994). I lost
everything...a lot of which I did not have backed up bcuz I hadn't gotten
around to it!! (a lesson learned the hard way). I never thought of backing
up e-mails. I ran a file recovery program and was able to retrieve my
inbox.dbx and sent items.dbx folders. I can not open them or get my messages
from them. When I set up my computer with OE, I noted that the assigned
identity {numbers} were not the same as my old one. I tried renaming to make
it match to see if that would allow me to open but nothing. I tried to
import the folder..nothing. I tried the coping and pasting (replacing) the
new folder with my original and when I open it it shows nothing ..no
messages. Is there a way to restore my messages. I've seached the internet
and was unable to find anything and then I noticed this site on my OE..so I
am hoping...
Thanks for any advice
Charlotte
