If that's the case:
1. Is there some way I can recover the deleted Folders/Files... [if they
were deleted, it would have been about a month back].
2. Any way I can migrate these dbx files lying in My Documents to OE.

Incidentally my PC skills are very basic, so anything short of hand-holding
or step-by-step instructions, sends me into a tail-spin :-)

Importing from OE or exporting from OE will NOT remove data.

Now I am not sure if
1. In the course of the migration it is still lying hidden somewhere
either in OE or Express, or

I don't think OE hides folders or messages in folders.

2. It has got permanently deleted by mistake.

I'll vote for this choice.

Also funnily I noticed that there are some Folders in My Documents
which are not something I saved... They look like dbx files but I am
not sure because I can't open them.

Neither Outlook nor Outlook Express whould have made these. It you see
them, then you created them somehow.
