Cheers Brian,
I have DBXtract, though I was not aware it could be used on psts?
It, like the 'pst repair' utility, seemed to rely on there actually being a
pukka folder with something registering as being in it.
I believe DBXpress was said to be able to recover message fragments from the
hard drive, but I decided that I probably would not be able to sort out the
'wanted' from the deliberately deleted. So, when I lost several of my OE
dbxs after a 'compaction', I settled for putting it down to experience, and
got QuickBackup on the go...
