E-mails disappeared

My e-mails from the majority of my subfolders under the Inbox folder
disappeared if they were older than 2 weeks. Outlook recently did an
auto-archive. Also last night, Windows XP did an automatic upgrade and my
computer was automatically restarted.

I have tried to restore the archived e-mails and nothing changes. I also
have old e-mails backed up as this is a fairly new computer. I tried to
import the old e-mails from my backup file and nothing changes. I really
need these e-mails I use my e-mail folders to hold important information.
Please help!

similar problem for me:

I have XP SP2 but unfortunately I chose to accept request to compress files.
As a result I can't see my prevoius e-mails. Probably all .dbx files have
been corrupted by this operation.
I have used a lot of programs that extract .dbx files, but no one of them
have been able to recover all my mails (but just very few) even if all the
..dbx files have the same size as before compression.

Does onyone know a poerful program that recover a corrupted .dbx file or can
I hope to recover my mails in other way, for example reinstalling OE?

Thanks
