OE6 timewarp mystery - can anyone help???
a very strange thing happened to me yesterday. i had to reinstall windows
2000p and in order not lose all emails on OE6, i backed up the "identities" folder and copied its contents across to the newly created "identities" folder once the reinstall was complete. i found to my amazement when i looked last night that within the folder in the backed up version all of the folders are dated 15 may 09, but the *.dbx files are all dated 18 october 2008????? how did that happen?? consequently all emails since 18 october 08 are not showing. can anyone throw any light on what could have happened here and whether there is anything i could do to retrieve them? if you can, thanks a million. best regards, malcolm |

When posting the same question to multiple newsgroups, please cross post.
How many Identities were in the Identities folder? Are you sure that the message store was not moved to another location? -- Ron Sommer "Malcolm" wrote in message ... a very strange thing happened to me yesterday. i had to reinstall windows 2000p and in order not lose all emails on OE6, i backed up the "identities" folder and copied its contents across to the newly created "identities" folder once the reinstall was complete. i found to my amazement when i looked last night that within the folder in the backed up version all of the folders are dated 15 may 09, but the *.dbx files are all dated 18 october 2008????? how did that happen?? consequently all emails since 18 october 08 are not showing. can anyone throw any light on what could have happened here and whether there is anything i could do to retrieve them? if you can, thanks a million. best regards, malcolm |

"Ron Sommer" wrote in message ... When posting the same question to multiple newsgroups, please cross post. Ron, Where all was it posted? If it was posted with identical Subject you could help out MS newsreaders (e.g. users of OE, WinMail and WLMail) by adding a cross-post yourself. Then your reply will at least be grouped for such readers under the multi-posted question. FYI Robert --- How many Identities were in the Identities folder?
