Dear Robear Dyer (PA Bear),
Thanks for your msg. I am using windows XP pro with SP2. With Norton Antivirus 2006. I will explain you in brief, what happens before causing this problem. While I was closing outlook Express6, it triggered one msg asking compact outlook msg to free disk space and then I pressed -yes after that next day when I open OE6, I found all msg in some of the my folders are disappeared and send items msg were corrupt. I tried so many ways to get the data back by using recovery software’s, even though I didn't succeed. Hope you understands my problem completely. awaiting your reply.

I tried so many ways to get the data back by using recovery software’s, even though I didn't succeed. Did you close Windows before the compacting was finished? In OE click Help | About. What is the version number of Directdb.dll? If it's 6.00.2900.2905 you're in luck. If not, go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and see where OE is storing its files. Close OE and open Windows Explorer. Click Tools | Folder Options | View and make sure Show hidden files and folders is selected. Go to OE's store folder. Are there DBX or DBT files for the missing folders? -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Reply in newsgroup "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" |

I've given you all the resources I know of to enable you to recover the
missing messages. If none of them help, they're gone. Look in OE Help About Files: If DIRECTDC.DLL is *not* v6.0.2900.2905, installing KB918766 will help to avoid the issue in the futu http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...2-98af2256ccc3 -- ~PA Bear Althaf Khan wrote: Dear Robear Dyer (PA Bear), Thanks for your msg.

You got hit with the compaction bug. See points 2 and 3 he
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx and also point 4 for message recovery techniques. The only recourse I know to recover the messages would be DBXpress: www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/ and its exclusive extract from disk function that will analyze every disk cluster on the hard drive for messages. steve "Althaf Khan" wrote in message ...
