This is what she did--------
>Ran a file search for inbox.dbx - went into the directory and found
both inbox.dbx
and outlooks replacement for it inbox (1).dbx there, renamed the latter
to inbox (1).bak
just in case this didnt work so I could replace it, then renamed
inbox.dbx to inbox (1).dbx.
Restarted OE and all the mails were there bar the few that had come in
overnight to the other box.

I dont think that it will help you cos we are using Outlook Express but
it might be of interest to others.
We have sunshine here so I am off out into the garden to play with new
cameras :-)
