I had experienced a crash last week and after that out of the 20 folders in
my Outlook Express 6 Inbox, 10 were there with all the e-mails intact but in
the latter 10 folders, the e-mails are gone. One of the folders shows
e-mails but it says "message has not been downloaded" and when you click on
it it says "message cannot be displayed".

I had purchased DBXtract program as well as R-Mail, as well as DBXpress.
All of these failed to recover the lost e-mails from the empty folders.
Before that I did the disk defragmenter, system restore, etc.

I tried to find a way to maybe reinstall Outlook Express and IE but after 3
days of searching on the net I was unable to find anything that would
basically delete the outlook program and ie program I have now but not lose
all the information.

I even tried amending Registry Keys and that didn't work. I even turned off
e-mail scanning on my anti-virus program.

I also notice that in the far right corner of my Inbox, on the view where
all the e-mails are listed, it states "Main Identity". I remember that
before it didn't state that. Also, I realize there is some type of "clone"
of Inbox - maybe that could bring back old e-mails, or if I restored the old
identity before the crash would that bring any results?

I would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you.
