When I turned on my computer today I went to my email. When O.E. opened there were 3 messages in my Inbox and then a message O.E. didn't shut down correctly and O.E. closed. When I reopened O.E. the 3 messages in my Inbox were gone. How can I retrieve them? I went to other info on O.E. and the info there was very hard for me to understand and that is why I started this thread. Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Try Recuva. There's an option to retrieve e-mails.

Thanx, I will try Recuva. Going out now will try later, Orion

Phantom, I just got back. Is Recuva easy to operate? I am not that experienced.

[Phantom010]

Very easy.

[orionrbm]

Phantom, I D/L and installed Recuva. They are telling me to restore to a different drive? I only use the C: drive. Please help.

[Phantom010]

You can restore the deleted e-mails onto a differente drive for optimal performance.

[orionrbm]

What Drive? I only have C: & DVD-RW Drive (D).

[orionrbm]

Recuva didn't recover anything? Any suggestions?

[Phantom010]

When clicking on Analyse, does Recuva find anything?

[orionrbm]

There is an Outlook box that I check but there is nothing in it? There is no analyse?

[orionrbm]

Sorry my mistake. Here is what comes up: Outlook Express emails.zip box. But then they don't want me to open file in the current drive.? When I tried to open in my C: drive there was nothing in it?

[orionrbm]

When I try to open Outlook Express emails.zip I get this: C:\Documents and Settings\Ronald B. Myron\Desktop\Outlook Express emails.zip The archive is either in unknown format or damaged.

[Phantom010]

The e-mail messages might be unrecoverable. If the files have been overwritten completely or partially, it might explain why you are getting a damaged archive.

So thats it? Thanx anyway.
