Outlook Express - Randomly lost all emails.
Well, I was in the middle of Outlook's routine folder compacting ("To save diskspace, outlook can compact messages, this may take a few moments" etc etc), and the computer decides to lose all power and basically die.
So after the restart, I went into my inbox and I have lost 200 odd emails that I need to get back. Any ideas how they can be retrieved, or wtf happened? Could a system restore retreive them/fix the problem? Thanks in advance Luca.

ouch.. check if outlook moved it into an archive pst file
usually: C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook If there is one there add the data file into your Outlook

Managed to find a bak/dbx file in there. Is there any way of extracting the messages out of it using a reader for that filetype?

The .bak is the backup of all the emails.
Just rename the .bak to .dbx and vola there all back again. there is probably a inbox.bak and a inbox.dbx. Cut the inbox.dbx out of the folder and rename the inbox.bak to .dbx |

No luck with any of the above.
Anyone? Is there a .bak file explorer of any kind? Can't find anything descent on the net.
