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.

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

Thank you, this was for a friend, hope this will work for him.

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.
