OE 6 emails gone

All my emails before 12/24 (in all files - Inbox, sent and draft) disappeared as if deleted.  AVG says virus sno.  As a seller, I need to get these emails.  Any ideas or suggestions?  Thank you.

You use OE for businesses, but it save?

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:

And backup often.

  • emails gone

    some records are missing from all or most of the emails.

    the names of the files in question are now preceded with the word 'map' and a slash, for example: map.

    So if you don't see the right folders on the web page for gmail.com interface - you will probably have to contact Google for support.  If this is how you access your Google mail, so there is no local copy.

  • Virus, TrustFighter, lock up.

    I was on the home page of Microsoft when viral alerts infiltrated. Trust Fighter seems to be affiliated with MicroSoft. He asked me to register for $39.00 and, of course, now they have all my information. The Fifhter Trust was simply a loop for the scans. My computer is LOCKED IN PLACE. I called my credit card company to see if they had charged. The company name is an ABD, 800-527-2229, AND they charged $99.00. $99.00 for a locked computer. Help, please!  I tried the web link that was given to me, EMAIL GONE earlier. Seems to be false. I was such a sucker today.

    You must call your credit card company and do a chargeback, because you've been scammed. Also, you need to immediately cancel your credit card and send you a new since the bad guys now have your credit card number.

    Your system is infected with a rogue antivirus program. It's called "thugs" because he pretended to be a good guy but is really bad.

  • iOS email option 10 to go to the next message now gone?

    Not sure if I describe it correctly, but there was a little up and down arrow (icon of type cursor) to go to previous or next in the upper right of a displayed email emails.  He's apparently gone now.  Is it just me?  Apple has done away with this feature?  Or - is this something I can back on?

    You're describing very well. Apple seems to have done away with the next/previous arrows in iOS 10. Several discussions have been underway on this topic in the forums. Leave comments here to Apple and let them know you want to see the feature enabled again.

    To print messages in Gmail, I used to click on "Firefox" in red at the top left. I upgraded and now it's gone. I would like to print an email I received. How do I do that?

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).

    You see the orange Firefox button if the menu bar is hidden (view > toolbars).

    If the menu bar is hidden, then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the call of menu bar.

    Make toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars" or "Firefox > Options.

    You use OE for a company and do not save your messages?
     
     
    Check first of all, what is obvious. While in the Inbox: view | Current view. Make sure show all Messages is the only option that is checked.
     
     
    If this is not the resolution, you have work cut out for you and hopefully will help.

This happened to me several times and I can't ever find anywhere. It just disappears. Can someone help me? I want to know why he spends, how I can solve this problem how can I recover my work and where it went! I blame my laptop or windows or the manufacturer?

    I wrote a full description of my problem, but of course it also disappeared. I type 2-300 words and pooofff they disappear I can't explain it better or go on any more because I just it loose once AGAIN all! I tried to explain in more detail a related problem, but of course he gone too so I send this before I lose too.
    original title: email disappears

    The text turns blue, because you mentioned it.  The most plausible explanation to highlight all of the text while typing is due to hit CTRL-A, which is the same as Edit | Select all.  Then when you type a character when this text is highlighted, then highlighted (blue) text is replaced by the character you typed.  Be very careful to not press the CTRL key instead of the SHIFT key when you type a capital letter A or else which will never happen.

    If your cursor jumps around then also scan your system against viruses and malware.
