Have you downloaded the OE back up program?

Alias

Use the Reply to Sender feature of your news reader program to email me.
Utiliza Responder al Remitente para mandarme un mail.

For the futu

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupted. 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: FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in
the Status Bar). FileFolderCompact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

In ToolsOptionsMaintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

And backup often.

If you didn't get them back with Steve's advice, I'm afraid they're gone.
Nothing will do any better than DBXpress. No reg fix or System Restore
will get them back.

Yes, thank you. I have tried his advice and at least I have a new clean
identity set up. I ran DBXpress and it did not recover the lost
e-mails, that is why I was wondering whether a system restore to day
before the crash would do the trick?

Thanx.

Did you see the reply from your orininal post from Steve Cochran?

Wow, you got yourself in a mess.

First thing for OE is to go to File | Identities and set up a new
Identity.
That should give you a new message store and registry values so that it
will
be as if you installed OE new. Then make sure you do points 2 and 3
he
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx in that Identity. Then add your mail
accounts
and verify they work okay. Once you do that, then go to File | Import
|
Messages and point to the old Identity and see if you can import any of
the
messages from it.

Once you have OE working again, I'd try DBXpress once more and run the
extract from disk feature so that it analyzes the entire hard drive for
messages. Do not check the recover mode option when doing so. Its
also
possible you have multiple identities already set up (it sounds like it
from
the end of your message) so also try DBXpress's search feature (try
that
first) and see if it turns up files that have messages in them that you
overlooked.

Then see if you recover anything else in terms of messages after that.

If you still have problems then check for spyware and viruses, but it
sounds
as if you already did that.

I have tried everything and unfortunately was unable to recover the
messages.

Would PCTools program be able to do anything? Registry Fix?

Would restoring system day before crash be able to restore the .dbx
files at that point in time to their original state on the day before
the crash?

Thanks.

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.
Before that 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 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.

Did you try the extract from disk function of DBXpress and try extracting
from the entire hard drive instead of the folders?

see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 for message recovery techniques and in the
