Jayne, I did try that and they are not there. I found the DBX files, but so far I have not found out what to do with them. Some of the things I read sound pretty far above my head. I will keep looking and maybe they can be salvaged. At least I know they are sill around, i just can't access them right now.

I have a habit of dragging emails into folders, etc. and sometimes find myself saying 'whoa Nelly' because I've dragged and put something in the wrong place. Try to do a 'search' for one or two of the missing emails that might have been saved. Try to search using a word or phrase to limit the search if possible (surname maybe or birthplace). Just a thought. Good luck!

If you have DBX files for the missing Folders, add one of the folders named to you OE folder list. Restart your computer and see if your email comes back to that folder.
