How do I restore my Inbox.bak from my Recycle Bin to my Inbox?
Using Windows XP and Outlook Express. I received a window to "compact messages" to save disc space. Ran that and lost all 2010 Inbox e-mails. 2008 and 2009 e-mails still in the Inbox. Tried to find a solution in the forums and was able to find the Inbox.bak in the Recycle Bin. Files says " Modified: Yesterday, July 13, 2010, 6:41:29 PM". I'm not sure if that was before or after the compacting. I clicked "restore" which eliminated the folder and did not bring back the missing e-mails. I searched and found the Inbox.bak and now have the file as a desktop icon. How do I restore my missing e-mails?

You posted in an Outlook group. Outlook Express has nothing to do with Outlook. Try here:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xpnetwork/threadsRuss Valentine
