Repair corrupted folders ???

[ma701sd]

Hi, can anyone help...

I backed up my directory where Outlook Express stores email folders, I re-installed Outlook Exprss but now I cant seem to get those folders back.

All I need to do is to extract one attachment from a particluar folder. Is their a particular piece of software that allows me to do this...Or even just read the document?

Help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
S...

I think you need to import your Outlook Express e-mail messages from the Backup folder:
On the File menu, point to Import, and then click Messages.
In the Select an e-mail program to import from box, click Microsoft Outlook Express 5, and then click Next.
Click Import mail from an OE5 store directory, and then click OK.
Click Browse, and then click on the Mail Backup folder on your system.
Click OK, and then Next.
Click All folders, Next, and then Finish.

Good luck.
