Default Lost messages!

I quite often have this crappy program that I use so much let me down.
Newsgroups often stop working and need to be reset, and sometimes whole
newsserver and email accounts just disappear for no reason.

My main email accounts are Hotmail and MAPI, so this is more annoying than
disastrous, but...

recently my Local Folders disappeared. All my Sent Items, archived post
folders and Inbox just went! Can I salvage something from the .dbx files.
Please tell me yes..

Cheers

ss.

DBXtend (additional functionality)

DBXpress (faster, more powerful, with even greater functionality)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Avoid Such Corruption in Futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
