Recover Outlook Express corrupt Inbox

by w0qj . Updated 24 years, 3 months ago

Hi,

Would appreciate your advise on how to recover my Outlook Express 5.0’s inbox.dbx file which seem corrupted (1MB in size & shows up on outlook express folder list but contents of which is empty).

using norton disk doctor it said that the inbox.dbx file had a file allocation error.

think this file was corrupted while the OE5 was receiving e-mail & the whole computer froze on me (had to press reset button).

already tried my win’98se:
accessories==>system-tools==>system-information & tools==>internet-repair-tool (used “repair internet explorer”) but to no avail.

did not try to repair the “disk allocation error” on the inbox.dbx file using norton disk doctor for fear of further permanent data loss should another utility/method can recover this.

would appreciate your help!
