Re: I'm an iD10T, I know, but now I need to recover from it...

I would think DBXpress is your only hope at this point since it's the only program that can recover messages, even if you've formatted the drive in question. Good luck with it and let us know the results.

You can get DBXpress at this link:

As I stated before, and about to restate, the registry key is already set to
zero (0), and it's not the "folder" that was deleted, but it was the actual
Logical Drive in an extended partition that was deleted. I already spent
USD24 on a piece of software that was supposed to "undelete" said drive, but
it didn't work. I am now about to spend yet another USD24 for the software
(I think it's called "DBXpress", but please don't hold me to that)
recommended by one of the posters above in this thread in a further attempt
to retrieve the dbx files from the now "unallocated" space. Somebody please
stop me if you know already if this will not work, as I don't want to spend
any more money on this, but would rather keep my pocketbook intact and at
this point I just would like to get OE back to a working state.

Again, thank you for the valuable insights and tips, but so far they have
yet to pan out for me. I hope this one will.

That error is consistent with a corrupt or missing message store folder.
Since you've already said you destroyed the folder where the messages were
stored, I'm not surprised. Try Frank Saunder's suggestion to delete the
affected registry key.
