Outlook Express

[Guest]

I lost all my folders in outlook express. I then opened new ones, but lost
the old data. I then found where the old and new .dbx files are but can't get
outlook express to recognise the old files. Please help

You could have a look at Macallan Outlook Express Extraction (freeware).
http://macallan.club.fr/index.htm

This can extract all messages from your old *.dbx file as *.eml files,
which you then can drop into a storage folder in OE.

Thanks but I couldn't download from Macallan. I did however find the solution
on the site "inside outlook express-FAQS"

Many Thanks

Odd, because all three files would open for me.

I'm glad, however, that your problem is solved. I would advise you to
bookmark Tom Koch's site (if you haven't done so already). I did long ago.
