Is there a Sent Items.bak file in your Recycle Bin?

Hope this helps.

After exiting Outlook Express 6 I was prompted to compact my folders.
My "Sent Messages" folder failed to compact. I got an error message
that the folder is in use by Outlook Express or another application.
After the system finished compacting all my folders I went back into
Outlook Express. I am now missing almost two years of messages from
my Sent Messages folder.

I looked in my directory C:\Documents and Settings\[my name]\Local
Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{2C7A8CD0-78FA-427F-BF86-AE333A20DC52}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express

I only see one folder for my "Sent Hotmail Messages." Do you have
any idea what happened to all my email messages and how I can
retrieve them?
