I suddenly discovered all emails in my inbox were missing. They have not been accidently or deliberately deleted ( to my knowledge). They just were not there when I opened up Outlook Express. Can find info on Outlook, but not how to recover lost (deleted?) emails in Outlook Express 6. I have XP, SP3, Win 7.o. All advice appreciatedThankscasho56

I've seen that happen when the Inbox file gets too big -- around 2 GB in size. Look in the Outlook Express store folder. By default, it's: C:\Documents and Settings\User \Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{Identity }\Microsoft\Outlook Express where: User = your Windows XP user name Identity = string of letters, numbers, and dashes. How big is Inbox.dbx? Is there an Inbox.bak file? Do you have a recent backup of the folder?

Mate, appreciate your advice. Though not sure how to do what you suggest, Is my windows XP name my Windows log in name, the computer name or what? Where would I find it?I shal plug away...have a good New Year and thanks for your advice. I will keep trying.CheersCasho56
