You did check Deleted Items first? Assuming the dbx file is now in the
messages sto

In Windows Explorer, click on the dbx file for the missing folder and drag
it to the Desktop. Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as
the one on your Desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. Go back to
Windows Explorer and Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to the
OE store folder that you clicked on to reveal the .dbx files. Prompt - "Do
you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

I have inadvertently deleted an OE folder containing email. That shouldn't
be a problem as I have a backup. I have copied the folder to the OE email
folder thinking OE would pick it up but hasn't. I have stopped short of
using the import facility for fear that this may screw up the whole thing.

How do I get to look at the once deleted folder please?

Thanks.
