Help recovering a file from backup. Critical data.

[RDF]

Hello all,

I pulled a boner and accidentally deleted a file containing critical
legal E-mails from my laptop. This is in Outlook Express 6.0 Sp2 and I have
the files saved to magnetic media and I am able to recover the folder named
"legal.dbx" I put it in the path of the other folders I moved to a "f" drive
for archive and D/R planning. Well for the life of me I can't get Outlook to
put the file back on the folder menu but I can parse throughout the folder
in
WordPad and see contents but that's it. I am hoping one of the groups
Guru's can help me out and fill me in on what I'm missing. It's all POP3 and
the folder is still safe but copied locally and in the safe too. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. I don't know what I'm missing but MSDN and
TechNet does not cover this issue (Or at least I can not find it by topic)
Please append any advice to this thread.


Many thanks in advance,

Tried it, and it did not fix it. The eval version has a 64k limit so I made
a folder with a email to populate it. Put it in, deleted it, tried the
application to restore the folder and it still did not work for me. I can't
believe something so simple is not working. I must be doing something
majorly wrong.

Thanks for trying to help me out, I appreciate it,

Rob
