I think there history, but keep checking back. Maybe one of the pros
will have a different idea. For the future, I suggest backing up
everything in OE along with your personal folder every couple of
weeks. It could have easily been a crash and you would have lost
everything. This tool does everything in OE, right down to message
rules.
