E-mails have disapeared

Hi,

Win XP home, Outlook Express 7

Last night I turned my PC off, everthing was just fine.

This morning I turn PC and every single one of my e-mails and folders have
disapeared.

Every so often as like 4 days ago, I get a windows message asking if I would
like to save and compact my messages, which I do.

I looked in the recycle bin but nothing in there

Is there anyway of retriving my lost emails and folders and why would this
have happen?

See if you can locate an old Identity folder. Search for hidden files and
folders (advanced search setting), and search for *.dbx files. If you have
two sets of .dbx you can "Import" the old ones to the new in the File menu of
OE.

Hello Mark and thank you for your reply.

Could you break it down a little, where/how do I go about looking?

Hello Mark and thank you for your reply.

In this instance it was simpler for me to do a system date restore.

Thank you again.
