I just (2 hrs ago) decided to comply to the "compact messages to reduce disk space" prompt, which I see every time I close down OE.
Now - I remember why I haven't done that for a year or so - because of losing many emails to the recycle bin - I only wish I remembered that!
As my PC was getting slow I decided to do a clean up first - no problem - then I did the OE compacting - fine.
Then I noticed my hard disk space had decreased some 2GB - Oh better try cleaning up again (very dumb of me!).
Of course I deleted the recoverable (I did that once myself by reading stuff on the web) dbx file from OE...ouch.
When I open OE - ALL my emails from after 2010 are missing.
Is there anything I can do about this. I'm already coming to terms that there probably isn't.
All the best
