Lost Mail Messages

[KellyC]

Hi.

I've done something so stupid that I can't believe I did it! My Inbox somehow got red lettering when I opened my mail. I didn't like this and thought that maybe if I went into the folder on my hard drive and renamed it (with the same .dbx extension), it would eliminate that. So, like a dummy, I went in and renamed it NewMail.dbx. Well, then all my mail was gone. So I went back and renamed it Inbox.dbx again and ALL MY MAIL IS STILL GONE!!! Where could it be? It's not in the mail trash or the deleted items. Can someone please help me?

Thank you more than I can possibly say!

I've now found the mail and have it in a folder called NewMail.dbx and placed it in the folder that all my other .dbx files are in. I still haven't been able to open it and read any mail yet though. Any ideas?

Hi KellyC - You have a duplicate thread in the Applications Forum here (http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23231) and I see that Rainbow32 has replied to your problem. I have closed this thread to avoid confusion. :)
