Everybody! The box by "Empty items from the deleted items folder on exit"
is not checked, was not checked....ever.......... Iolo
was able to open the file "Identities under Application Data, however, even though IOLO found Folders dbx and inbox dbx....when I went to this identities folder it
said zero files, 0 folders. Maybe security issue? ANybody know how to open this
"identities" folder and see the Outlook Express stuff?How is it Iolo sees stuff in it and I can't?

Couple of things to try

(1) Check that you're checking the right "Deleted Items" folder. You may
have more than one in your list of folders.

(2) If you can also access your email via the web ie by logging on to the
relevant website (eg hotmail.com for a hotmail account etc) then try
accessing the mail account in that way, to see what you may be able to
retrieve

Hello Carey..Well your tech support told me that adding a newsgroup in O.E.
does set up a daily trash-take out..It does empty the "deleted items folder" and they said it does it as a regular part of it's setup. DO you know about this?

Joining an Outlook Express newsgroup does not perform a "clean install"
and does not delete any files. You must have inadvertently emptied the
"Deleted Items" folder. Storing email in the "Deleted Items" folders is
not a very prudent thing to do. Sorry, those files are gone.

Ummm - the Deleted Items folder is for ITEMS THAT ARE DELETED! What
numbskull "stores" emails in the Deleted Items folder?

Sheeesh!

And joining a newsgroup should have NO effect on any mail folders AT ALL so
I don't quite know what you did.

Who or what is "lolo"?
Did you read my previous suggestions?
Do you have more than one identity? If so, are you sure you are looking
in the correct identity?
