Accidentally deleted all messages in the inbox folder
Accidentally deleted all messages in the inbox folder using shift+delete. Is
there any way to retrieve them? Can I use 'restore' ? -- castle_guardian |

Restore won't help. You will need one of these tools, and I would suggest
the later as it also has the capability of reading directly from the HDD, and not relying on recovering from the dbx files. DBXtract: http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx DBXpress: {much faster for large files} http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx Some general precautions for Outlook Express *after* you retrieve the messages: Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible. After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while working *offline* and do it often. Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed. Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}. And backup often.

To add to Bruce's response, DBXtract or DBXpress using the recover mode
option will be able to recover the messages, if the folder hasn't been compacted, but the messages will be missing 4 bytes out of every 512 bytes, so no attachments or images will be recoverable -- only the text. steve "roger" wrote in message ...

DBXtract comes with a Help file. Reading it will answer many of your
questions. You first select the appropriate Identity in the Input path drop down and put a check next to the files you wish to extract from, and then set an output for the extracted messages. Then click Extract. steve "Doron" wrote in message ...
