Default Inbox contents simply vanished

Do a search on: inbox.dbx If found, note the location as it may have
gotten moved

In OE 6, Windows 98, the entire contents of the Inbox just vanished after
restarting computer. There were about 4 weeks of e-mail in there.

Other folders do not seem to be affected.

I looked in the Outlook Express folder on my hard drive, and the Inbox
file
at this address:

C:\WINDOWS\Application
Data\Identities\{9226D728-E116-11DA-8D61-00045A5FABE0}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express

was down to something like 130 KB, containing just a lot of unreadable
code.

I normally move Inbox contents to other folders regularly to keep Inbox
from
getting too large.

I've never seen anything like this. The contents of a huge file simply
vanishing.
