There are two inbox.dbx in the present OE folder, they are both very tiny, a
couple of hundred kb. There is one other inbox.dbx in another folder. That
inbox.dbx is of large size around 100 mb, but that's the OE folder of the
previous Identity that I haven't actively used for a couple of years. (I
created the present Identity on the suggestion of a tech support person who
said my main identity had become corrupted.) The old identity is located
he

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express

It's just gone. The inbox with four weeks of e-mail is gone.

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.
