Missing emails in Outlook Express 6 on XP Pro after moving location store

[Ben Godomon]

I hope anybody out there can help me out.

I am using OE 6 on XP Pro.

I tried moving my store folder using the following
commands:
1 From Outlook Express (OE), select Tools-Options-
Maintenance-Store Folder-Change
2 Select a precreated empty folder
3 Restart OE.

When I did the above, I could not see any of my emails
being copied from the original location to the new
location (it should do it automatically, shouldnt it?)

So I went thru steps 1-3 again, but now changed BACK to
the original folder, now I could not get or even see any
of my emails, and when I tried to view with Explorer, I
could NOT list any of its contents (i.e. the *.dbx files),
not even after restarting the PC.

What happened to my emails, and how can I get them back?

Please reply to (e-mail address removed)

Your assistance/ideas is most appreciated.

Thank you!
