lost outlook express inbox messages

[lavanis]

The messages in the inbox of outlook express 6.0 suddenly were lost. The
inbox.dbx file, however, remains very large but will only reveal a very small
fraction when trying to view email. This is the second time files were lost
in the viewing of email. I understand the inbox was of large size as files
were not deleted for some time.

How do I regain the full content of the inbox?

Outlook EXPRESS is not part of Office.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click

Good luck!

Hi Lavanis,

If when viewing the Inbox, using View=>Current view=>View all doesn't show all of the messages in the inbox doesn't help you may
want to use the link below to also post in the MS Outlook Express discussion group. The file may be corrupted (Outlook Express
isn't an Office app <g>).

If it's over 200 MB, you're probably screwed. Download and install
Thunderbird and see if can import the messages for you and start using
that instead of Outhouse Distress. www.mozilla.com/thunderbird

-----------------------------------
Outlook Express stores all emails into .dbx file on disk. As soon as a
..dbx file gets corrupted due to any hardware or software problem. There
is no way to access emails from corrupted .dbx file. To recover your
emails from corrupted .dbx files, there are many 'Outlook Express email
recovery' (http://www.stellarinfo.com/mail-recovery.htm) softwares
available. Outlook email recovery software scans extracts and saves
email massages into a new folder on the local drive.
