Answer» Hi,
Went into Outlook Express yesterday - very surprised to find that all the emails had apparently been wiped.
So I tracked down the folder where the emails are kept, to find:
It's apparently decided to make replacement files for everything - those being the files with the (1) after their name. Deleting these files doesn't make any difference, as OE will just create a new (1) file to replace it rather than OPEN up the original file.
What also doesn't work is taking the original message files to a new folder and importing them into OE from there, as it'll just make new (1) files in that new folder and completely ignore what I've asked it to do.
So...all sorts of VITAL emails are inaccessible (I assume they're still there, as the original files are the right size)...any ideas?Start looking here:

Thanks for that - is there any recovery program I can use that's sort of...FREE? Have a read here:
