Guest SJB Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hi, Any idea how to recover "lost" sent and received messages. While the Outlook Express was compacting folders, the program stopped responding 3/4 of the way. I had to terminate the program, after rebooting the machine, good portion of the messages had been lost. Thanks SJB
Guest JS Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Re: Compacting Check the Recycle bin for files with the folder name and a .dbx or .bak extension (Example: mymail.dbx or mymail.bak), if you do find some see the following MS KB article: All e-mail items may be missing when you start Outlook Express 6.0 Service http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918069/en-us In the 'Resolution' section of this KB article you will find an 8 step procedure on restoring your e-mail.
