Hi, Gang! You guys have always come up trumps for me before - I hope you can do it again!
Various parts of my hardware began to die on me during the last week and eventually I had to give it to a techie for life-saving medical treatment. I asked him to save my mail for me if he needed to do anything drastic - like reformatting. In the event he didn't need to reformat but when I went into Outlook Express I found it completely empty - including the address book.
I recalled from quite a few years ago that the letters get saved in a special file so went looking for them and found them as .dbx files. The "size" column, in the search displays different sizes for all the many subfolders suggesting that all my letters are indeed intact but I can't seem to figure out how to retrieve/restore/return them to Outlook Express in an "as-was" format.
Can anyone please help with this and walk me through it with a step-by-step proceedure? I would - as usual - be so very grateful!
Yours,
Selwyn.
