Messages in Inbox have disappeared...Help 911

[Bubey]

All my msg's in my Inbox and Sent Inbox have disappeared. And like others I
had older msg's I don't want to loose. The Local Folders I created have all
retained the messages in them.
Why ?
Can I get them back? Is there someplace on the hard driver where
I can retrieve them from?
I'm running Win Vista Sp2 w/2gb memory............Thanks !

 

[Bruce Hagen]

I am not sure, but just to clarify, you are running Vista with Windows
Mail? I only ask since this was posted using XP and Outlook Express. That
I could help with.

 

[Bubey]

Yes, Thank you Bruce.
I sent the inquiry on my XP/OE laptop. I've been having a lot of
frustrating issues with Vista & Windows Mail so I'm giving up and
going back to XP/OE.

And I do have the "view/show all message" box clicked"

Bruce, I saw a post by Gary VanderMolen regarding a
Advanced Outlook Repaid to help undelete e-mails. However I
did delete them, that I know of, but would this work for finding
getting those Inbox Messages back ? The sent one's aren't that
important, just nice if I could get them back.
Thanks!

I know ways to recover messages in Outlook Express, but not WinMail.
(That's why I asked). You'll need to wait to see if anyone has a trick for
your issue.

You are in the right place for help with Windows Mail. No recovery method
made for OE will work for you. WinMail uses a completely different data
file system.

You can ask here also if you wish.

Bruce, I haven't gotten a reply back on the lost messages, but some of the
important ones are still here in OE. So I would like to come back to my OE.
I've had it with Vista.
How can I do an export from Vista's Windows Mail and then import them into
Outlook Express ? I saw PA Bears note about doing a drag and drop of ".eml
files but how do they convert to the .dbx format for OE ?
Thanks in advance for the help !
