Outlook Express deleted mail

    The other day Outlook Express asked me would I like to clean up my mail so I clicked yes. Now all my emails as far back as November 2005 have vanished!
    I have Google Desktop and if I search for a mail with it, it finds it and displays it in my browser, but I can't view any attachments. Does anyone know if these are recoverable? :( Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It should have archived them to a .pst file?

    Do you have a second inbox displayed in tha archives section?

    I can't seem to find any .pst files in the Outlook Express folder. Where would they normally be stored?

    I have located all the DBX files, but there is no sign of the missing mails?

    They are inside the DBX files. Do yourself a favour and ditch the M$ and go with Thunderbird, you won't regret it
