Default deleted folder

First check Deleted Items. If there is an [x] next to it, it is probably
there. Open Deleted Items and check. If it's there, you can just drag it
out.

If it is not there, then check the Message Store and see if it still exists.

ToolsOptionsMaintenanceStore folder will reveal the location
of your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then StartRunCtrl+V will put the location
in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write the
location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In WindowsXP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under StartControl PanelFolder
OptionsView.

If the dbx file is the

In Windows Explorer, click on the dbx file and drag it to the Desktop. Open
OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your
desktop. ***Copy a message from any folder to the new one. You MUST do
this.*** Close OE. Go back to Windows Explorer and Click Desktop and drag
the folder from the Desktop to the OE store folder that you clicked on to
reveal the .dbx files. Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click
Yes.

Thanks Bruce,

The dbx file for that folder isn't there! Does mean that it is GONE?

There may be a chance you can retrieve the messages with this program, but I
would wait for another opinion before you try. Don't do anything to OE until
you hear more.

DBXpress is the best chance of recovery when run in disk mode:
