Outlook Express Recover Delete Emails

[rivo99]

Hello -

I have a customer that is missing about 1 month of emails from OE6. There does not seem to be any corruption as the program functions just fine in every aspect. I grabbed a copy of the OE6 store folder from his machine for testing. The customer DID NOT run the compaction of OE6 so there should still be recovery available but I'm not sure what tools are available for something like this and would love some advise from anyone else that has been in this situation. I have checked to see if the emails are in the deleted items folder, but no. They are not in any other folder that the customer has created as we've scoured them as well.

Thanks for any advise.

try derescue email recovery , its free

That suggestion doesn't seem applicable here as the OE6 store is intact, just missing emails internally to OE6.

Any other ideas from some OE gurus?

This link will give you an over view on Outlook Express email, which is sort of a database with an extension of DBX

I can't recall of any DBX recovery tools that are free but it should help you find what you need. --> DBX recovery tools

Not worried about free.... just something useful.

I've used OESCAN with some success. It's available here: http://people.inf.elte.hu/koszi/oescan/oescan.htm

Weird, I'm going out in a few minutes for a similar issue. I found this article and this item that I'll be trying.
