Outlook Express files disappeared

[jeff]

I was having a problem with Outlook Express. Apparently
there were too many files it it so the program would not
accept e-mails into my inbox, nor would it open.

I tried importing my inbox into Outlook 2000. It crashed
before finishing. However, when I went back to Outlook
Express, the files in my inbox were gone (at least 1 gig
worth).

My inbox was still unable to receive new e-mails (with
the same error message that indicated it was too full).
When I deleted files from another folder (sent messages),
the ones on the inbox never reappeared, although I
apparently cleared enough space to start receiving e-
mails again.

My questions is: Is there a way for me to recover those
deleted files? Might they have gotten moved somewhere
during the import and I just can't find them?

Thanks for your help.
