Default Lost my emails in OE

"Kimba" wrote in message
...
I am using OE and for some unknown reason, today when I launched OE, all of
my previously viewed emails were sent to the C:\Documents and
Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\.... folder.
They
are saved as database files (.dbx).

How do I restore these files and get my emails back into my inbox and the
other folders I had created?


All OE messages are stored in DBX files.
In OE go to Tools | Folder Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and see what
storage location OE is currently using.
DO NOT MOVE THE OLD DBX FILES.
Now, in OE go to File | Import | Messages and import from the folder that
has the old dbx files.
