Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / March 2007Inbox Lost
I seem to have lost my Inbox from my Local Folders?!; any ideas where it might be?. Help! John Look to see if it got moved under one of the other folders as a subfolder. There should be a plus sign you can click on in the folder list if the folder has a subfolder. steve >I seem to have lost my Inbox from my Local Folders?!; any ideas where it >might be?. > > Help!

John Thanks Steve, I've got my Inbox back by deleting the folders.dbx and without progressing through your other suggestions, since this seems OK. I'm not sure how deleting a file gives me back my Inbox!?; but thanks again anyway. Do you know how I could have lost it in the first place? Thanks John > First, delete folders.dbx.

Create a folder for all programs you download, (mine is in My Documents). Click Save and save the download to this folder. Now Run from there.

Did you try importing from the DBX files or the folder that holds them? Import from the folder, not the files. SignatureFrank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup.
