outlook express inbox folders

[corban]

Hi,
I lost all my folders and subfolders in the inbox
and also all the mails in it
when I go to see in the identitiesfolder of outlookexpress,
I see that the file messages is quite big (750Mb)
I think the messages are still there
but I can not find them!!!
when I get new mails, they don't show up in the inbox, when they are
guided to a (previously visible) folder by a rule. now I stopped all the
rules and they show up in the inbox...
what can I do to recover the folders and -more important- the mails in
it?
is there anyone who can help????
thanks

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).
