I created certain folders on Outlook Express in order to save some important messages. I am not sure whether I inadvertently deleted the folder, but I don't recall doing this. Is there some way that I can retrieve my information? Many thanks Maud

For instance, double click on INBOX and if there are sub folders they will show. Repeat the process for all your other folders.

If you haven't already done so - do a file/folder search for *.dbx over all your hard disks. If that does not turn up the files that you are looking for, then you may still not have lost everything. It could be worth your while downloading a trial copy of Search and Recover from http://www.iolo.com/sr/4/download.aspx. I seem to remember that the trial version will do a full search, tell you if it has found traces of the relevant *.dbx file(s), and indicate the chances of full recovery. However, to actually recover the file(s) may cost you the price of a full version (US$39.95). HTH, -- Tim S. (please delete myfairlyobviousspamtrap if you wish to reply directly)
