I had experienced a crash last week and after that out of the 20 folders in
my Outlook Express 6 Inbox, 10 were there with all the e-mails intact but in
the latter 10 folders, the e-mails are gone. One of the folders shows
e-mails but it says "message has not been downloaded" and when you click on
it it says "message cannot be displayed".

I had purchased DBXtract program as well as R-Mail, as well as DBXpress.
All of these failed to recover the lost e-mails from the empty folders.

I did the disk defragmenter, system restore, etc.

I tried to find a way to maybe reinstall Outlook Express and IE but after 3
days of searching on the net I was unable to find anything that would
basically delete the outlook program and ie program I have now but not lose
all the information.

I even tried amending Registry Keys and that didn't work. I even turned off
e-mail scanning on my anti-virus program.

I also had an awful computer "doctor" visit me at my home who after 10
minutes said he couldn't do anything, although I suspected he didn't "want"
to do anything and spent the next 50 minutes installing
anti-virus/anti-spyware programs, which I already had installed myself on my
computer, just so that he could be paid for the 1 hour.
The worst part was that I had explained this problem to him the day before
and he said he would be able to do "something", and once he spent 10 minutes
with my laptop, said that he has "never encountered" this type of problem,
and gave up on the issue right away, therefore I spent $75.00 for basically
nothing.

That is why I am e-mailing you with what the problem is and wondering
whether you had ever encountered something like this and hoping that you are
able to tell me straight up whether this problem "can" be fixed or "cannot"
be fixed so that no one is wasting their time and money.

I also notice that in the far right corner of my Inbox, on the view where
all the e-mails are listed, it states "Main Identity". I remember that
before it didn't state that. Also, I realize there is some type of "clone"
of Inbox - maybe that could bring back old e-mails, or if I restored the old
identity before the crash would that bring any results?

I would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you.
