How to recover and re-establish deleted Outlook Express dbx files

N

nic

I accidently deleted my Outlook Express dbx files. I
recovered the files back. I notice that I have DBX, IDX,
and MBX files. I used the Outlook Express import wizard;
however, the files that were imported were from a year
ago. I can't seem to import my recent files.

1) The path I follow is files/import/messages.
2) Select Microsoft Outlook Express
3) I specify my location as Main Identity. I only have
one identity set up.
4) Click [OK] button
5) Use the [Browse] button to select the file path where
the files are located
6) Click [Next] button
7) The only folders that I see are
Deleted/Inbox/Outbox/Sent/Misc (this one I defined)

Help
I don't see any of my other defined folders.

Thank you for any help
Nic

Hi, Nic -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
