Friends, I know this board is not for Outlook Express, but
I don't see an OE board, and am hoping an expert can help
me through a major problem.
Just came back from overseas. Before I left, worrying
about house being burglarized and computer stolen, I
copied the email folder (that I'd astutely named EMAIL) to
a CD-R, and then deleted the folder. It had many files,
most with a .dbx extension, that were clearly the emails
I'd received and sent over the years.
In regular Outlook (at work), I've backed up my emails or
transferred them to another computer by copying the .pst
file. Thought I could do essentially the same thing with
Outlook Express.
Not so.
Here's where I'm at: I copied EMAIL back to the hard
drive, to exactly the folder it had been in. Then I tried
to open Outlook Express.
Instead of seeing all the folders on the left side of the
screen, Express wouldn't even open, and gave this error
message: "This program has performed an illegal operation
and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact
the program vendor."
Clicking the Details button gave:
MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in
module MSOE.DLL at 017f:007c631c.

I can start Outlook if I remove EMAIL first. But of
course, that will mean starting fresh, without being able
to see any of those old emails (many of which were real
keepers).
Can I recover those old emails so that Outlook opens them
again?
