I upgraded from ME home to XP home last week. Aftewords,
when opening Outlook Express 6.0, I had lost all my emails
in all folders (inbox, delete, send, etc.).

Any ideas on if I can recover them?

Thanks,
Scott

Search your hard drive for Inbox.dbx
(If you are using Win2K or WinXP you will have to set the search to include
hidden files and folders.)

If you find two copies, use OE's File | Import | Messages | Microsoft
Outlook Express 6 and choose to import from an OE6 store directory. Browse
to the folder holding the older Inbox.dbx.
