Default Warning: DBXpress recovery program

There have been a lot of threads regarding the flaw in OE6 that causes entire
folders to be lost if you interrupt the compacting process. Unfortunately,
OE6 gives you the option to "Cancel" the compacting process at any time
without warning you that anything will occur as a result of your doing so.
This is a serious design flaw that has not been remedied by Microsoft.

However, I know almost a dozen persons who have tried the recovery program
DBXpress with no measurable success. I note that it is recommended by most
techs in this newsgroup on a regular basis including by the person who
designed the program. But this program is equally flawed. The chances are
very good that you will not "extract from file," which is the only option
that will allow you to filter or specify what folders you want to recover
from.

If you are forced to "extract from drive," you must have a 2nd hard drive
available to avoid corruption and over-writing and you will be unable to
specify the folders you want. This means you will get every message you
already have as well as deleted messages with little chance at that point of
recovering any of your lost messages. This can be an organizational nightmare
and none of this is openly disclosed before you purchase the program.

You should take these things into serious consideration before purchasing
DBXpress.
