Hmm, once something goes wrong with an email, OE often puts that warning message up. The email is still there, but hidden. Not quite sure how to get to the hidden mail though.

OE stores it's message files in folders with the .dbx extension. Previous post said how to find those. You can copy those files, to somewhere safe to reinstall too.

What happens if you export to outlook. Usually it is writing the file as a .pst You may not be able to read that if you don't have a version of outlook, but again you should be able to reimport that file into IE later.
