Lost emails in OE6
 

I have a problem...

I have an elderly friend who has an aged computer and is not likely to
update as it mostly works fine so dont expect top performance from this
computer.

Yesterday I was helping her set up her new broadband service all went well.

We then popped Gmail account and all the emails went to OE6 - they were
there and fine.

Did a few other things and then went back to OE to read email - it kept
saying the disc or memory was full and then a standard msg about unable to
initiate a .dll. Disc capacity is 50% and RAM is probably either 512K or 1M
(forgot to check)

I then did a search for the *.dbx files and tried to import to Outlook - all
went well but nothing came in since 2003 - anything after that was missing.
Same for Windows Live - nothing after 2003. (seems to me there must be
another OE Store file somewhere)

I have searched high and low for different Identity folders with *.dbx files
in them. I could only find one lot and I have copied them to a disc and come
home to try and import them with later programs - same thing nothing after
2003.

2 Questions
Am I looking for the wrong file extensions?

Is there a was of reinstalling OE6 so that it is repaired?
