outlook deletes inbox mail

C

c. carlton

On about three occaisions, my computer has restarted
itself while Outlook Express, and sometimes other
applications have been open, without my prompting it to do
so. Upon rebooting, my Outlook inbox messages are
completely wiped out, however, my sent folders and deleted
messages, address book, ect. remain the same, and with no
data lost. Can someone tell me what has happened, or
perhaps how I can recover these lost emails? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
C.C.

Outlook or Outlook Express? If Outlook Express and you search your drive
(use advanced option for hidden files and folders) you'll likely find a lot
of inbox.dbx files. See tomsterdam.com for instructions on how to reconnect
or recover the messages in the folders.
