Lost OE info after end of file

[redheadwriter]

I had an "end of file" message when opening up Outlook Express after a power outage. This has happened once before and by compressing the file everything was brought back and all my info was still there. Before.

This time, I lost it all. Addresses, emails, everything. I work from home and desperately need this information. Is there any way to retrieve this? Absolutely any way?

Well, the simple and easy way is to just restore the data from the regular backup you keep...

If the file was truly truncated (hence, the "end of file" error), then there probably isn't any way to retrieve the data from that file. If rebuilding the file didn't work, there's not much else you can do... does Outlook Express store the data in different folders/files, or is it one, big database file? If it's stored in parts, you may be able to do an "Import", select the proper Outlook Express data folder, and perhaps salvage some of the data.
