Outlook Express Inbox did not transfer to Windows Mail

All Subfolders that I created under Inbox did transfer successfully.
Unfortuantely main folder Inbox was lost and upgrade removed all *.dbx files
so there is no chance of restoring e-mails.


*I know that I should have done backup

It removed all the dbx files? That sucks.

My DBXpress program will analyze the entire hard drive disk clusters for
messages and if they haven't been overwritten, it will find at least some of
them. See www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/

That really is not good behavior to fail and then delete the original files.
