    Go to Outlook Express. Click on the Tools menu.go to Options. Click on Maintenance. Click on Store Folder. Locate the name of the folder where your files were stored. These files often include outgoing email messages or messages that you sent to someone. now Close Outlook Express. Double-click the Recycle Bin icon on your Windows desktop. Look at the side menu options. Click on “Restore most recent sent items (.bak files)”. Close the Recycle Bin. Open Windows File Explorer, or simply right-click on the Start button and select “Explore”. Find the folder you located in Step 4. If you don’t see it in the Windows File Explorer, you can always select “Find” from the Start menu. Open the folder that holds your deleted files. Click Tools, then Folder Options, and select View. Then, enable the “Display hidden and system files” in the same folder. Remove the checkmark in “Hide extensions of known file types”. You will see the Sent Items.dbx file and the Sent Items.bak. file. Rename the Sent Items.DBX to Sentold.dbx. Rename the Sent Items.Bak to Sent Items.DBX. Open Outlook Express. Now your messages should be restored.

    • Open Outlook Express and go to Tools / Options / Maintenance.
    • Then in "File storage" copy the file path used by Outlook storage for the active email account.
    • Open eg Messdocuments this folder on the desktop and copy the path in the address bar of the window
    • Validate to access the directory.
    • Edit the file "Deleted Items"


    DBX files are normally placed in a directory which is located at this level:

    C: \ Documents and Settings \ ... name of utilisitateur ... \ Local Settings \ Application Data \
    Identities \ (BBC-....- A186) \ Microsoft \ Outlook Express \
