What is the extension of the files in the profile folder - file the emails, but not the message .msf file?

I need to recover a lost Inbox (lost due to a failure). The file to the Inbox in the profile folder is somehow cleaned as if the record has been compacted and some new emails have been added. The size of the file is now a few hundred KB when there should be a few hundred MB. I have run a recovery of files on this disc, but now have thousands of files with names like Raw122354 and don't know what to look for, because the Inbox file has no extension. I can remove those with file extensions I don't know, but that still leaves too many to go through.

I guess I should also ask if this is a waste of time, if I have a chance to recover the file?

Messaging files are text files, so yes, you can open them with a text editor. I wouldn't try to open a file of messages Gigabyte with Notepad however.
There is no need to rename the file with a .txt extension, it can be opened with any text editor without worrying.
