Title: lost emails/outlook express
Post by: 62hawk on September 24, 2006, 07:13:53 PM

Hello,
Does anyone know how to find/restore e-mails lost during an upgrade from internet explorer 5 to internet explorer 6. My contact list transfered but no e mails from any folders. [smiley=smiley.gif]

Do a search for "*.dbx", without the quotation marks.  Find anything?

Yes, thank you.

Athough, the *.dbx files found through search only showed the current O.E. folders. I found O.E. 4 folders by going through outlook express>files>import>messages.
