For lost Inbox messages:
Inbox.dbx is damaged. Close OE and then Move Inbox.dbx from your store
folder (http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/store.htm) to another Windows
(not OE) folder and run any of the above applications on the moved file. (A
new, empty Inbox.dbx will be created when you next open OE.)
Other folders:
Close OE. Move the associated DBX file to another Windows folder and run
any of the above applications on the moved file.
If one of the above applications successfully recovers any messages, count
yourself fortunate. Do *not* import the messages from the moved DBX file
back into OE! Recovered messages may be dragged into an open OE folder,
but...
Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
Disable Background Compacting and frequently perform a manual compact of all
OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.
Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
