As regards the lost OE folders, here are a few obvious things to check:

- Are you logging in in the usual way? Each user has their own identity
with separate mailboxes. Sometimes people don't see what they expect to
because of this. Also check under File > Identities in OE that there is
only the one identity.

- Is there any 'view' currently applied? Check under the View > Current
View that 'Show all messages' is ticked.

- Have a look for the folders on the hard drive. Go Start > Find/Search >
Files on C: drive, and search for "*.dbx". If these have recently been
modified they're probably your emails and it should be possible to
retrieve them somehow.

- Close Outlook Express completely, go to the directory where these dbx
files are and delete the file 'Folders.dbx'. This should be recreated and
fixed the next time you start OE.
