Imap stores the emails on the server not on the local computer UNLESS you
save a copy locally.
Check the current message stores (Tools | Options |Maintenance tab |
Store
Folder button for that location).
Can't recall exactly at the moment but I believe IMAP DBX files were
stored
with a different name and the dbx file extension.

I dont'have this imap account to save already the mail of this old
account.
In the folder of dbx file there aren't the mails that i search.... this
has been my first action.
The extension of db mail for imap account is .dbx, the same of pop3?

Someone know a program file recovery to resolve this problem?
Thank Ant



DBX is the file extensions for Outlook Express message stores.
Folders.dbx has no messages in it at all. It's just the file that contains
all the information about the mail folders, newsgroups.

You might try DBXPress to search the hard drive for any old dbx files.

Plus the mailbox may still be on the server, contact the Administrator of
the account and see if they can recover it.
