    How do I recover lost inbox emails after I compacted OE 6?
    Yesterday I clicked update when prompted to compact my email from Outlook Express 6.
    I have lost all emails from my inbox from December 2007 to February 2008.

    How do I recover them?

    Thank you

    Open Outlook Express
    Click on Tools->Options->Maintainance->store Folder
    Copy the location

    Click on start->Run->Paste

    In the Pop window Copy all the .bak files
    And Paste on Desktop

    Create a New folder and Paste all the bak file and Rename Bak to dbx and Import it you will find all the emails

    Thank for your informative guide.

    I have had the same problem also.
    When I create the folder, change the extension and import the file will it overwrite the e mails that are the same and just update what is missing?

    Thanks
