Can you rephrase? You can't lose your Inbox, (In?), or Sent Items folders.
You can lose messages in them, or subfolders.

Let us know.

Several days ago all of my saved message folders, both In and Sent ,
disappeared from my OUtlook Express. I have no recollection of doing
anything that would have caused this.

I was able to find what appears to be these missing folders by Searching
in
hidden folders for .dbx files .. BUT, I cannot acess them.

Can anyone help me regarding trying to salvage these folders ?
