Lost "Deleted Items" folder dissapeared from Outlook express

[bsennert]

The folder disappeared.
I cannot delete emails.
Microsoft says I cannot mess with this folder, so I am assuming the file is
corrupted, or hidden for some reason.

Any help would be AWESOME...

I have been looking for answers for days and am FRUSTRATED IN IOWA..

Thanks for much in advance for any suggestions that I can fix my problem...

Hi

You likely have a corrupted mail folder.

- Close Outlook Express.
- Locate the file "Deleted Items.dbx" (OE5+) in the mail directory and
delete or rename it. You can use 'Start|Find|Files or Folders', "Deleted
Items.??x" to find it. IF you're using Windows XP, it will be hidden,
you'll need to set the search tool to find hidden/system files.
- Open Outlook Express again. It will create a new empty Deleted Items
folder.
- The same process will work for the Inbox folder, Inbox.DBX, should it be
the problem folder.

Dear Junior Teckie...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU....

I think what finally did it was the Accuratesolution.net. I think.

I installed it and ran it...but could not find the folder.

I had my remove programs window open and ready to delete the program when for some reason I looked at Outlook express...

THERE BIGGER THAN LIFE SAT MY DELETED ITEMS FOLDER....

IT WORKS....i am not sure why but something in running that program must have done something.

I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REPLY TO ME AND GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS.

God Bless you Junior Teckie.
