Re: lost emails

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



OE Storage folders (.Dbx) are subject to corruption. There are
some tools on the web that "Might" allow you to access/recover
messages.

Not an uncommon event. Personally, I run a script to backup my
OE mail stores almost daily. Just as an example, yesterday one of
my extra folders suddenly lost all it's content. 27 messages just
vanished. I pulled in the last backup and everything was OK.

Sometimes OE will just create a new folder, such as Inbox (1).dbx
instead of the normal Inbox.dbx. Many of these Quirks/Anomalies
I just can't explain.

Here's a good URL for help with OE/Storage issue(s):
