To Jon & Frank......THANKS! To all who say we should've known this update
was drastically different from the myriad of updates I get every few
weeks,
well, use your imagination!

Jim;

First of all, there are 2 reasons that you have received no responses;\

1. You failed to follow the installation instructions by not backing up
important data prior to installation.

2. The method used to recover Outlook Express files has been posted in
this
newsgroup several times. You merely need to search for it.

In addition, the problem you are having can be solved by using Google.
Had you "Googled" your problem, you would have had it fixed by now.

How bout helping me with my problems. Countless people are having
problems
with this "virus" called "SP2", and a few people (obviously Microsoft
employees) say it so great.

Well this will make the third time I've posted about this, so far no
help!

Here's my problem:

Installed service pack 2.

It wiped out my settings in "Outlook Express."
The Account, POP Server and SMTP Server info were gone. I
reconfigured,
Now my previously read mail, address book contacts, etc, are gone.
Plus,
now I'm not receiving any new mail.

How can I get it back? I REALLY, REALLY need to recover some of the
mail.
Unfortunately for some reason, my System Restore was turned off.

Thanks - Jim
