DBX Files- need to restore
 

I had a crash, have OE6 back up & running, have my folder 'titles', but the
messages aren't there. I have found the "dbx" files, that seem to have a lot
of content, but don't know how to reintegrate them into the folders.

DBX Files- need to restore
 

File, Import, Messages, OE 6, select store directory, browse to the folder
with the dbx files.

Avoiding Such Corruption in Futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.

- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:

Thank you very much for the added information. I will pass it on, and will
save it too, for future reference.
