Outlook Express losing data

[darth vader]

Was working fine until recently - now i have lost all my emails, contacts etc. new emails that come in get lost permanently. Is this my account which is corrupt, OE which is corrupt, or Microsoft which is corrupt (the final one is a philosophical question:-)

Howdy darth, you know that the OE files are .dbx and that they are hidden deep within your profile (C:\documents and settings\$darth vader$\local settings\application data\identities\{xx}\microsoft\outlook express) See if they are there and you may be able to repait them using this: http://www.oemailrecovery.com/outlook-express-recovery.html BTW, got a job yet?
