my friend turned her computer off while outlook express 6 was still compacting. She also restored the bak files from the recycle bin (so they're back in the OE message folder on xp). All her folders still show, except a few (her own folders she created and also the inbox) are empty.
I've spent an hour or two on different days trying to fix, but no luck. For a couple of the empty folders, I've tried renaming the dbx, then renaming the bak to dbx, reopening OE, no luck. I've tried deleting thse bak files, then re-restoring them per suggestions online. I've downloaded and tried two softwares to fix this with no luck (oe repair toolbox and backup toolbox).
Any other suggestions?
