How to recover & re-establish deleted Outlook Express DBX files

[ntr]

I apologize for posting this twice. I forgot to include
an email address.


I accidently deleted my Outlook Express dbx files. I
recovered the files back. However, I do notice that I
have DBX, IDX, and MBX files. Next, I used the Outlook
Express import wizard to try to re-establish a link to
these deleted files. However, the files that were
imported were from a year ago. I can't seem to import my
recent files.

1) The path I follow is files/import/messages.
2) Select Microsoft Outlook Express
3) I specify my location as Main Identity. I only have
one identity set up.
4) Click [OK] button
5) Use the [Browse] button to select the file path where
the files are located
6) Click [Next] button
7) The only folders that I see are
Deleted/Inbox/Outbox/Sent/Misc (this one I defined)

Help
I don't see any of my other defined folders.

Thank you for any help
Nic

Help.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000 & 2002 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress
for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ublic.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
for OE 6.x

for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
