[Hidden-tech] Recovering Outlook Express folder

[Frank Aronson]

Ed -

 

I've found a few tools that will cost a little bit of money, but they may
help you out:

 

OE-Mail Recovery <http://www.oemailrecovery.com/buy.html>  - $27

Repair Tool <http://www.nsware.com/Repair-Tool-for-Outlook-Express.htm>  for
Outlook Express - $39.95

Outlook <http://www.diskdoctors.net/outlook-express-recovery/software.html>
Express Email Recovery Software - $69

 

Apparently the price increases as the name becomes longer.  I've not used
any of these products so caveat emptor.  I have a client for whom I've set
up PicoBackup Outlook Express <http://www.picobackup.com/pboe/index.html>
Edition, which is a freebie designed to backup OE only.  There's another one
that I've not used called Outlook Express Backup Free 1.0
<http://www.tucows.com/preview/402687> .  Please note that it is a 1.0 piece
of software.

 

I use (and am a reseller for) Carbonite.  I've set it up in a number of
different places and it saved me a lot of headaches when my laptop was
stolen earlier this year.  It's $49.95/year.  Mozy also works and is running
$4.95/month (@$60/year).  Both are unlimited.

 

Hope some of this helps.

Subject: [Hidden-tech] Recovering Outlook Express folder

 

HT members may have faced this minor emergency here, which may or may not
mask a bigger problem. The other night, OE was dutifully compacting folders.
All completed, except it seemed to be having trouble with one folder (can't
remember the error message). I clicked through it, and all seemed well.
Then, today, I was trying to put a message into a folder, but couldn't find
it. It was a sub-folder, but many of my accounts have several layers. I
examined every sub-folder to see if somehow I had dragged it to another
place, searched for some mail that I knew was in it, but to no avail.

 

So the question is: is there any way I can recover a lost folder? 

    No, I didn't (backup).

 

Thanks,

Ed
