Outlook Express problem

[PJ]

Hi there,
I just upgraded from Windows ME to Windows XP...When I
opened Outlook Express for the first time, it was like it
had been lost in time...my messages were from 2002, and
some of my folders were gone as well.
I am able to receive and send new messages just fine, but
some of my info is now missing.
Any suggestions? I had a folder with all my Paypal
receipts in it, that I really need.
Thanks,
PJ

Did you do an upgrade install of Windows XP or a clean install? If you did
a clean install they are gone.

Search for dbx files. Search all files because they may be hidden.
Do you have dbx files in more than one location?

I take it that you didn't backup before you upgraded?
