  1. View | Current view. Is checked all show messages?

  If the answer is Yes, then the two main reasons 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:

  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.

• recover email lost in outlook express 6 upgrade

  my computer automatically upgraded to outlook express 6 and lost all my emails from the old outlook express. any info on how to retrieve them would be great

  It seems that your OE message store can become corrupt and Windows creates a new. McAfee and Norton analysis e-mail used to be the #1 guilty, but no analysis emails can cause these days.

  You can be the GROUND if you have never backed up your messages, but we'll see if there is something on your machine, we can come back. Check the following, but do nothing before posting back.

  1: check the trash for the bak files. If they are there, note the date of creation.

  2: Check if you have more than one identity in OE. File | Identities | Manage identities. Is there more than one, or just the one you have now?

  3: select Show files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View. After selecting the button to show hidden files and folders, search, and search for *.dbx

  Post back with the results of these three tasks. If you have no chance, your only chance to possibly retrieve messages is with this tool.

  DBXpress
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

  You may need to run in the extract from disk Mode if its normal recovery mode fails to find lost messages.

• Lost my outlook express 6, how do I get it back?

  Lost my outlook express 6, how do I get it back? Happens if I turned off my PC and sometimes medication back with all my lost addresses and emails. I perfer to any other email outlook so please help!

  Define lost. The shortcut icon is missing?

  Right click on the desktop | New | Shortcut. Navigate to "c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe". Click next | Click Finish.  It will be a new shortcut on the desktop.

  Outlook and Outlook Express are different programs, so please watch your shortcut.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program.

• Message outlook to PDF conversion: change the name of the default file to the time instead of the subject?

  I have a large amout of email that I convert to PDF using a plug-in in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI through messages Outlook 2010.  I don't want a portfolio created, rather a single pdf file.  I've been open every message and conversion to pdf format, rename the file with date/time (subject line is the default file name), can I combine PDF mutiple files in a single document.  This process would go a lot faster if I could change the file name by default at the time, rather than rename them myself.  Does anyone have an idea on how to change this setting?  Or any other ideas to make this process easier?

  Hi melrogotzke,

  In Outlook 2010, when you click on the tab 'Adobe PDF' there is an option "change Conversion settings.

  In the present, uncheck the option "Output Adobe PDF portfolio when creating a new PDF file".

  You can now select the mails in outlook and convert to PDF and all selected emails would get combined into a single pdf file.

• Outlook 2007 has killed my PST, lost messages! Help, please.

  Errors were found in the file. Quit all applications to mail and then use the Inbox Repair tool.

  I'm having a huge problem with Outlook 2007 on Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I recently bought a new computer and have moved my PST file to him.  When I tried to open it, I got the error message listed above.  I have run scanpst.exe on my e-mail folder and now it is missing a month of emails!

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/296088/

  I found the above article and realized that this must be the problem.  The original pst file is 2 785 305 KB in size.  The recovered pst file is only 2 079, 249 KB.  How is it possible that my email is limited to 2 GB, when I can set up a GMail account and have 10 GB?

  On the old computer, Outlook opens the PST of origin without any problem.  Why would I have a problem in opening the file on a new computer?  Why would he ask me to run the scanpst on a good record and then damage it?

  What can I do to retrieve the missing messages are still (hopefully) in the .bak file?

• I have a problem with emails lost in my Inbox after I have them compacted

  I compacted my emails as suggested and have done on other occasions without any problems. On this occasion, I lost about 6 months of emails from my Inbox only.

  I followed the instructions given to someone else in this site, I opned the recycling box and file found the ".bak" that was missing. I have a right-click on it and then selected 'restore '.

  I can't find the file in windows Explorer, what do I do now.

  Howard

  The bak file will be in the message store.   The files are hidden there, then go to control panel | Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and also check in to display the hidden files and folders.  Then go to the message store (in OE location is located on via Tools |) Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Storage folder).  Then you can follow the steps here to import dbx or bak file: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1.  If it works, I highly recommend what to backup your messages.  Otherwise, if the file will not import, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) may be able to recover what was lost.

• Lost blackBerry Smartphone Inbox content

  I don't understand what happened.  Since I got my new Blackberry Curve I lost my messages in my Inbox and call log three times.  It happened when the phone was not yet used, I went to send a text and all my previous messages were gone.  Nobody knows what could have happened or it there might be something wrong with my phone because I don't find any information anywhere.  Thanks for the help!

  It seems that the unit may be out of memory.

  Can you check under Options | Status and take note of your free file number. Then reset the unit by removing the battery and 1 min and replace it and let the device restarts. After that he did check and see if your free file number has increased.

  Also do you have a lot of third party applications on the device that you don't need? If so you can do in the Options | Advanced options | Applications and delete those you no longer need.

  See this link for other ways free up space on a BlackBerry: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14320
