For the future make sure you do points 2 and 3 here
(www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx) and backup frequently as this happens a lot.

You might get something with the DBXpress extract from disk function, but
given the delay involved its unlikely you'd recover all of them.

Several months ago when I closed OE6 it asked me if I want to compact
emails. I accidentally hit yes and then stopped it after a couple of
minutes when it seemed to get stuck. After this, emails between 2/14/05
and 12/15/05 were missing (and I think it happened on 12/15). I couldn't
figure out what the problem was until recently I saw that stopping the
compacting process might've caused those emails to disappear. Are those
emails gone or is there some way of bringing them back?

TIA.
