| 709250 | 2008-10-02 19:42:00 | Morning all, I did have some, but it doesn't appear to work anymore. :p There's a great program called oerepair, but it aint free. A Google brings up hundred of programs, I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend me one they know works. Software manufacturers have an annoying habit of telling you it's free, then when you recover the dbx file, only the first 10 messages can be shown unless you buy it. TIA. :) |

| 709251 | 2008-10-02 19:58:00 | I have used Recovery Toolbox for Outlook (www.recoverytoolbox.com) in the past, about 18 months ago - BUT its not free. Tried it first to make sure it would work ( several others didn't) and it did then wanted $$ - Customer was prepared to have me purchase the program and split the cost and I keep the program. The mails were very important and as usual no backups. Recovered thousands of mails from a damaged .pst file after they went over 2Gb of mail and outlook went belly up. |

| 709252 | 2008-10-02 20:04:00 | Thanks. Does that software work with .dbx files too, or is it just for .pst? Edit - found this on the page you linked to. Thay spek vera good england :D * Recover Outlook messages from Outlook 97; * Recover Outlook messages from Outlook 98; * Recovery pst files of Outlook 2000; * Recovery pst files of Outlook XP; * Recovery pst files of Outlook XP SP2; * Recover Outlook messages from Outlook 2003; * Restore Outlook PST files of Outlook 2007; So not for OE... |

| 709253 | 2008-10-02 20:07:00 | dbxtract i think it was called. older version was free and did most ok. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 709254 | 2008-10-02 20:08:00 | How about this? (www.tucows.com) It's a shareware ap with a 30 day trial - has a nag screen, but seems to be fully functional. I don't use OE (:yuck: ) so I can't test it fully. |

| 709255 | 2008-10-02 20:30:00 | Tweak'e, that was just the ticket, I managed to find an older version to download and it's done the job great. Nofam, thanks for the link. I had actually downloaded that same program earlier on in the day, thinking it would be great, and believe it or not, even though it offers a 30 day trial, it will only recovery the first 10 messages in a folder. :badpc: I don't use OE that's for sure. Thanks for having a look though. :thumbs: |

| 709258 | 2008-10-03 00:21:00 | Does dbxtract pull out attachments as well as msges? | linw (53) | ||
| 709259 | 2008-10-03 00:24:00 | Does dbxtract pull out attachments as well as msges? That is a very good question. There weren't any attachments that I was aware of in the emails (was only the Inbox). The PC is gone now, I can't check. No doubt i'll be hearing about it if it doesn't! ;) |
