All of my messages disappeared after 5 emails deleted on my Document__How of restoring/recovering lost emails?

Hello:
Outlook Express 6 with XP

I deleted some emails accumulated in My paper this morning. When I went to O.E.6 to read some old emails, there are NOT, well there are 40 different types of emails were sitting in front of access to my documents.

Apparently, all emails, both current and past the Outlook Express 6 have been removed. The e-mail address I see is now a single when open O.E.6.
My questions are;
(1) how it happened? .... I never deleted the boxes O.E.6, i.e. "deleted items", "Outbox" including "in-field".

(2) how to recover/restore all e-mails lost after removing some of the e-mails to my Document?  "Trash," I restored actually one or two files by right click,... but where are they now?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

 

Please explain how the email arrived first in My Documents? Only, I can help with messages that have been lost since the Outlook Express folders.

Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

Recovery methods:

If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
 
If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:

And see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - all user accounts have disappeared after the update of Windows...

    My Windows 7 Desktop is really watered.  After a Windows automatic update, none of the user accounts appear in the login window.  Only a generic connection where you will need to enter the user and the password are displayed.  And when I enter the user name and password, I get a message that they are not valid.

    Here are a few additional pieces of information:

    1. I tried to restore to the point before the update, but it fails.  I get a message that there are missing files.

    2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.  I don't know what happened to them that they do not appear on the screen of restore points.

    3. I can't log on to the computer at all, none of the accounts work.  I can get to a command prompt by using the repair disk, and I can see all the folders for the users.  So everything is intact.   Something must have happened to some system files and thus connect is not possible.

    4. users appear in the list of profiles in the registry.

    5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

    6. I tried sfc/scannow, but I get an error "already waiting.

    7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

    I tried searching online and I'm still not able to connect to the computer.  It has been 2 days of downtime.  What happened to my old restore points?  And why doesn't my restore points created by the work of windows update?

    I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Here are a few comments:

    1. I tried to restore to the point before the update, but it fails.  I get a message that there are missing files.

    -> Which files are missing? Can you give an example?

    2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.

    -> This happens after the automatic updates.

    5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

    -> How to tell you, because you were unable to connect?

    7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

    ->, I guess you have done this so that in the WRE (repair Windows environment). It is a ghost environment that disappears that you restart the system. Drive X: is a virtual, not a real disc.

    I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

    -> Many people are unaware of the need for regular backups (for example, weekly) until they are suffering from a major disaster.

    Suggestions

    Going by your description, I suspect that your existing accounts are irreparable. They need to be rebuilt. User data appear to be safe.

    Option 1. Use the console commands then in WRE to save all the files of the user on an external hard drive. A disk 2.5 "500 GB in a USB enclosure costs less than $60,00. After having tested the files on another machine, perform a destructive factory restore.

    Option 2. Start the computer with a boot of Ubuntu CD, then its GUI allows to save files to the user. It takes time to burn such a CD, but the copy process is easier. When you're done, do a factory restore.

    Option 3. A somewhat complex process allows you to create a new admin account, and then use this account to create new user accounts. You must then manually configure each of them (for example Outlook) and move their records of the old data to the new profile folders.

    There is also a method to restore old files registry of a set of backup files are a few days old. In your case I wouldn't consider as it would create a disjoint system: the registry files refers to a set of files that have been largely modified by the update.

    Post again if you need more detailed instructions for the option that you favor.

  • I want TB to go to the next message above after that I deleted a msg

    Thunderbird manages four email addresses for me. I put them all to have the most recent messages at the top of the list and I move through them from the bottom. The first day, TB asked if I wanted to DELETE to move to the next higher E-mail (which, for me, would be the next unread). Apparently, I managed to click on 'Yes' for two of my email addresses, but not the other two. After a couple of times, that message never showed up again, and I sincerely regret not having said "Yes" to two other addresses. When I read, a deletion down to the post below, which, for me, means a message that I've read. So, I have to manually click to the next unread message. I searched and searched for a way to tell TB I want to move up after a deletion because that is my next unread message. He continues to only go down to a message I've already read.

    Please check:

  • The folder "inbox" for one of my email accounts where does not appear on the screen, but all of the messages are there, and I can click on each one to see...

    I've seen other people having this problem too and their problem solved by using the link "file repair". I tried this also - no effect...

    It seems to be a pure display problem, as all emails are there, and when I click on a specific location where a specific e-mail was supposed to appear, I can open the e-mail OK. I have no insight of what is in my Inbox. When I keep my mouse on the account of the column in the left window, a little black watch too, with all the new messages being listed.

    I don't have this problem with one of my email accounts has seven. All the others work fine, and this is also several weeks until what stopped it a few days ago.

    Hello

    Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be useful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To retrieve them, follow the instructions below.

    1. Use one of the following methods to open the bookmarks library window:

      • Click the Firefox button to open the menu and click on bookmarks.
      • Click on the menu of bookmarks and click show all bookmarks.
    2. At the top of the library window, click on the "Import and backup" menu and select restore.
    3. Click on the date of the backup of bookmarks you want to recover.
    4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
    5. Your bookmarks in the selected date should now be restored.

    For more information, see the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer . For alternatives, see the article of recover lost or missing bookmarks .

    If this does not work... try to troubleshoot the file places.sqlite.

    I put the iPhone in charge when the battery was at 2% and went out. I returned four hours later and the Iphone

    has shown 6% charged battery.  Powered by the phone market and it showed that the battery was charged to 100%.

    It also showed that I had 1 unread text message. When I went into messages all my old messages have been deleted

    the only messages I have are the only unread (from my mobile provider) and all previous messages from them.

    What happened to messages and what can that get back them?

  • My office has just done a repair XP after a hardware change and now all user accounts have disappeared and he asks the administrator password when connecting!

    We have a unique system of Windows XP that run the software of engineering for certain calculations. All other systems running Windows 7, but what a XP system because it's the only thing that our calculations software runs on.

    CPU of the XP computer died on us and we had to replace the card mother and CPU. After the change of equipment, following Microsoft's OWN guide on the running an XP repair, we ran the system repair and got all the way to the login screen (no blue screen not as before repair). However, none of the accounts are there and he asks an administrators password. The system has NEVER had a password to our knowledge, it was built in the House, and all simply by clicking on the Administrative login asks for a password.

    What can we do? We needed this fix before today and wait for the repair of the system to do. Is it possible to enter the system to run the software? We tried the SafeMode (all forms) and they all will ask a password after Windows loading.

    It's so frustrating.

    (PS I have been building computers for nearly 15 years and have never had this happen)

    Thanks for the quick response. I looked into the system with a "start-up" program All original profiles seem to still be there. I don't know how to make them appear well. Can you direct me or tell me, how to make profiles see the place?

    The biggest problem, outdoors is not be able to sign more, is that the engineering calculation software is locked to this PC. It can be installed anywhere else without having to pay for a VERY new (I think that thousands of dollars) expensive key or a new version of the software.

    :(

    Yes, it's a problem.
    I believe you can use a UBCD4Win CD or Hiren Boot CD to locate and right click on the files you want to change. And then, if you properly in your repair facility, you change the attributes after you're done.
    Some guides are better than others. And here's one that I like:
    If necessary, hire a PC Tech. It's much cheaper than buying a license that is thousands of dollars!
