I have outlook express 6 for a email client. I was getting reminded to compact my email messages every one in a while so I said yes and let it compact my messages ... now I don't see any email other than new email that has come in since I compacted the mail. But I did find some .bak files in the recycle bin ... How do I recover them? Does anyone know how to get my messages back? ... Please, help!

"I did find som .bak files in the recycle bin ... how do I recover them"
First of all, do not empty the Recycle Bin until you have successfully recovered the missing files.

If these recommendations don't help, then from my experience I can suggest a program such as OE-Mail Recovery which helps in such cases. I often use it in similar situations. http://www.oemailrecovery.com/inbox-repair.html
