• I can't find my old emails that is to say the last 4 years e-mails have disappeared. I can't see in the 'archives' folder list and also in my list of "local" files

  I can't find my old emails that is to say the last 4 years e-mails have disappeared. I can't see in the 'archives' folder list and also in my list of "local" files
  I recently formatted my system. It causes this problem? Is there anyway to recover my emails?

  Assuming that really format you your hard drive.
  Can erase you every single entry to a file, message, photo, program, document, etc. When you select format you get warnings on this subject.
  The format is the last thing you want to do without going through a backup of your personal and important files.

  Local folders is automatically created when you installed Tbird.
  And it is empty until you move something over there.
  (Your former local folder with all its files and messages has been removed under format).

  Only messages that are still on your server (stbeehive.oracle.com) can be recovered.

  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.

  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.

• E-mails have "disappeared" in Outlook Express

  Hello, I have been using Outlook Express yesterday when exactly a month of emails 'disappeared' from the Inbox.  Can I get back them?  Where did they go?  They are not in the folder removed, tried to restore the trash .bak file too.  It happened already, the last time I lost a whole year of emails.

  It happened already, the last time I lost a whole year of emails.

  And you still do not save your messages?

• Mail - some mailboxes have disappeared, where are they gone?

  In Mail - MacBook Pro, a few mailboxes have disappeared. When I search for mail I know lies in the mailboxes, the spectacle of the elements in research and on each message the name of the mailbox, they are archived shows. How can I find the boxes to the missing letters?

  Hello martinjohnharris,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand that a few mailboxes disappeared on your MacBook Pro and it does not display the messages you're looking for. I use my Mail app so much, so I can imagine how eager are you to retrieve these messages. I'll be happy to help you with this.

  If you select the mailbox in the Mail box, please use the article Mail (El Capitan): rebuild the mailboxand try a reconstruction of each mailbox, specifically, this section:

  You may have to re-create a mailbox to update the list of the messages it contains. For example, if messages seem to be missing or garbled, or if you don't find any relevant messages when you search by using the entire Message search option.

  Select a mailbox in the Mail sidebar, then choose BALL > rebuild.

  When you rebuild the mailbox for accountIMAP or Exchange messages and attachments stored on your computer are discarded and then downloaded again from the mail server to your Mac. Your mailbox is empty until the download is complete.

  Best regards.

• I use Thunderbird with multiple e-mail accounts. This morning, on behalf of BT 12 months last emails have disappeared, no other accounts like hotmail. (btinternet?)

  The shot to the top of Thunderbird, this morning, the last 12 months of emails have disappeared from my Inbox. Older emails are still there. The new mails are still on my phone. Other accounts in Thunderbird (hotmail, gmail, etc.) do not seem to have been affected. This seems to be a special relationship between Thunderbird and BT internet email. I would be really grateful for any help. Thank you.

  Hi - Thanks for taking the time to answer for me. No, the problems don't moved earlier. My wife also has a near-dormant BTinternet account which is accessible from the Thunderbird even on the same computer. Which has proved to work very well. I found that there were many problems with the BT e-mail yesterday and my problem was resolved later (2 hours on the phone) by a very helpful Lady in BT who virtually rebuilt my account. Even my security questions were rejected. I think that BT Yahoo email had major problems yesterday and he had nothing to do with Firefox - so please accept my apologies if I've wasted your time. Again thank you and best regards.

• XP: Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail - Emails have disappeared

  My boss had some problems a few months where a piece of his e-mails have been deleted.  Like a year or two of a value.  He had a ton of emails in their Inbox.  Just recently he started having the same e-mail repeatedly.  I decided to download windows live mail and install it on his computer.  It is running XP.

  I installed live mail.  He acknowledged the current e-mail account, he is using Outlook Express (POP3).  However, there is only the latest e-mail messages.  So, I went to windows live mail and click on file - import - and I imported Outlook Express 6.  He asked me what files and I clicked on the button that says it all.

  He went through the process and declared finished.  It was supposed to put the files in the storage folder.  I check the records of storage and there is nothing in the Inbox sent items folder has its old emails in them.  I looked around, in the other Inbox for the normal email account there and there is nothing more.

  I'm going to switch back to outlook express and its Inbox has no emails as well.  I'm like ooohhhh _.  If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

  I don't know if it compacted emails in outlook express.

  Thanks in advance - James

• How can I retrieve the mail files that have disappeared.

  I had a few folders on the mail who disappeared recently. How can I get back them?

  The mailbox list is divided into categories with such topics on my Mac. When you position the cursor on one of these positions (with the exception of the mailboxes), you should see the Word display / hide it on the right. Click view. The category of mailboxes cannot be hidden.

  In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle pointing to the right, click it so that it points downwards.

  Also note that you may need to scroll the list of mailboxes upwards or downwards to see it all.
