Hi Re-Na
You don't save the Deleted.dbx file and restore it after deleting it. That
would defeat the purpose of deleting it in the first place. What you need to
save and later restore are your email messages in those folders before going
into Windows Explorer to delete the .dbx files. Then you go back to OE and
restore those email messages into their folders.
If that doesn't work, you'd have to repair OE by repairing Internet Explorer
using the Add/Remove Progam wizard.
Hope that helps
Love

Well, I was just tickled pink reading these replies.
I saved my deleted.dbx files to another directory.
I closed OE, opened windows explorer, and deleted the deleted.dbx files.
Then I opened OE again, and when I clicked on deleted, it went effortlessly to
the
folder and opened up. Wow, so easy I said.
Ok, then I transferred the data back into deleted.dbx from the
directory I saved it in.
Opened OE, clicked on deleted.....
and the hour glass hung and hung and I had to do the ctrl/alt/del to have it
tell me
that it is not responding again.
GRRRRrrrrrr.
You say, ok, empty your deleted files and be done with it. Well, I DO and I HAVE
BEEN and I WILL. But sometimes someone says, hey, I need this or that and I just
deleted the file, and I need to access that file. It's nice to be able to get
it if
it's not 'gone forever'.. if ya know what I mean.
So, what now?
Suggestions all you great minds out there???? grin

Hello Re-Na,
I just copy the whole file onto my backup and then let
Windows make another one for me.
Great way to do that Tonia!
