I lost all of the previously-read messages in my Outlook
Express inbox (and everything in my Sent Items folder)
when I upgrade-installed Windows XP Home over Windows 98
last night. Does anyone know how I can recover the lost
messages? Thanks--Craig
 
Craig, all OE messages are stored as .dbx files. Do a search for *.dbx to
find their location and then you can import them into OE.
