first - I hope everyone is ok after that massive hurricane! It even hit us here in western Pennsylvania. I lost power last sunday night and I just got it back!! It is blamed on the hurricane - we had wind gusts to 80 mph. I can't even imagine what it was like down in that main hurricane area after how it was here! on to my problem! Just before we lost power - I don't believe it had anything to do with that, I came in to turn the computer off and Outlook Express said it had an error and had to close. When I restarted it, my in box was gone - well, lets say, all of my saved emails in my inbox were gone! POOF!! it had only 4 new emails in it. So now after these days without power, I booted my computer and opened OE, and it brought in new emails, but all of my old inbox emails are gone. Is there a way to get them back? or did it delete my original inbox dbx file? that is my guess - but I thought I would ask, just in case. thanks!
