Removed from the e-mail addresses within OE6 problem with import

I noticed the last person who has asked about it was 3 years ago, and no one responded to him: this forum is dead.  I'm sorry that I've bothered to even register here

Ok. Well well, in this explanation you only mention messages and addresses not which is what was your first post.
 
1: I need to know how you exported your OE messages, since export only send to Outlook or Exchange and is not a backup program. Please include a link to the 'instructions' , that you followed.
 
2: BAK files are backup files automatically created when you agree to compact and saved in the Recycle Bin of Windows and sometimes in the OE message store folder.
 
3: you can not remove and reinstall OE unless you remove and reinstall XP as OE is a part of XP.
 
4: do not save more than a few MB of messages in any folder in OE, as they become easily corrupted.
 
********************************************
 
With regard to your current number. You don't miss that items sent to you? Tell me if you have a file sent Items.bak or sent Items.dbx file or both, and note the date of creation for each.
 
********************************************
 
It's hindsight now, but here are three bits of information that may be useful in the future.
 
 
1: your original question could have been resolved in this way:
 
You have apparent dbx file corruption.
 
Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.
 
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, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
 
With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.
 
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.
 
 
2: backup OE:

3: 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:

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. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

And backup often.
