I'm about ready to trash this SOB and throw it out in the street and run over it!! This same cr*ap below I posted a few months ago, just happened AGAIN, and this time I lost the hundreds of emails in my DRAFTS folder!! What the hell is going on?????
----- Original Message ----- From: "Support-OrpheusComputing.com" I have a serious problem. It just never ends. I just lost ALL of my "inbox" in OE! I was "compacting all folders" and once again got the same old crash of "Fault bucket" during the compact process. The error window came up as usual, I closed it, then OE closed. Event Viewer said the same thing it's said for YEARS now when I *close* OE (regardless of SP1, SP2 and new formats), "Fault bucket", but this is the FIRST TIME I ever got it while compacting folders. I open OE again and ALL of the emails in my Inbox were GONE! ALL of the OTHER folders are FINE! Sent Items, Drafts, folders I created, etc., all of their contents are still there! I went to the OE Storage folder area and the Inbox.dbx file is there, but it's only 72k, which is much smaller than the Outbox.dbx file at 186k which of course is empty! What the hell happened to my emails!!??? I tried a program called "REST2514" and scanned the partition where the OE Storage resides. I could only recover 2 of the emails I needed. They had a filename of wbk[xx].tmp (where [xx] = different letters and or numbers, and there was either 3 or 4 X's but I can't put that here since some of you may have that filtered). I can open these 2 recovered emails in Notepad and salvage them. All the other emails I recovered (of the same type filename) were duplicates of these, and a couple I just received that I didn't need. Where are the other emails???? Does anyone know of another method or program where I can recover these emails I need, and just as importantly; HOW THE HELL did this happen!!?????? A few days ago I tried a program called "AOEV" and "R-Mail" to find an email I DELETED from the DELETED folder that I ended up needing, but they were no surprise bogus and don't work, so these I would think would not work for me now to recover the Inbox. I haven't restarted my PC yet, I don't know if I'm going to try that to see if they come back because it may make recovery more difficult or impossible. I'm also not going to check for new email for fear of also doing damage to any recovery process, so I'll either create a new Identity, or check the Archives for replies to this.
