Hi Kellie, I do not have a fix, just wanted to tell you that my Outlook Express wanted to create a new email account this morning. Fortunately I told it no. <smile> Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kellie Hartmann To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Jake Brownell ; Gerald Hovas Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 12:53 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] ot outlook express archiving disaster Last night when Outlook Express offered to archive my mail, I said yes in all innocence. Big mistake. It ate every folder I have starting with the letter M. Has anyone got any ideas? When I look at the outlook folder, I can see the dbx files, I just can't access them. I tried a supposedly 30-day trial of a program for fixing this, but it only will rescue 10 msgs, and the interface is extremely complex with JAWS. I tried copying the files by first adding something to give it an index. I've tried a straight import. Has anyone had this problem before and successfully solved it? I'm missing an awful lot of mail!
