Default Missing messages

ÄãºÃ°¡

System Restore will not "bring back" any messages. It sounds like
compacting of the message store was interrupted before it could complete.
You may need a 3rd party utility to recover them, but if you are running
Windows XPSP2 with all patches installed, you may find that you have
backup copies of the missing DBX files in your Recycle Bin with an
extension of .BAK - so if that's the case, please reply and let us know.

If not, then your best hope may well be to obtain a copy of DBXpress from
www.oehelp.com and use it to recover from disk your missing messages.

I'll try and make this as short as possible. OE was started and all my
messages both opened and not were gone. I checked the file location and
they
were not there. It's as if they had not existed. Will system restore be
able
to restore the missing messages, if not, how and where do I go about
getting
them back.

Thanks
