[nfbcs] undoing -- me or this program...grrrr

[tribble]

Hi Gary --
I don't backup OE data with the regular system backups. I do back it up 
manually using E-Backup when time permits.  But the thought of a rollback 
clobbering data scares me -- I don't consider my mail database to be OS 
related, but personal data.  Therefore I do OE related stuff manually.
Oh well, it's probably no big loss. I wish OE had a way of searching for 
unread mail. I consider this to be a deficiency in OE, along with the 
inability to search for mail with an address on the CC line.
Does anyone know of a way to change or modify the search form in OE?
Maybe I'll learn something new after 12 years of using OE.

I think that if there is a solution to your problem, it is probably
found in any backups that you do of your Outlook express system. If you
use something like Outlook Express Archive, you can probably go back to
your last restore point. Otherwise, you might use that same find
command, select all of those messages, move it to a temporary folder,
and then spend a little time each day going through it and putting the
messages back where they belong.

hi all --
I'm on my XP laptop in OE.  I got a little too careless and accidently
moved several thousand messages from one folder to another -- using the
find command followed by selecting and moving (control+shift+v) I hoped
upon hope that OE would provide an undo command -- like
control+shift+z, to undo the previous move, but it doesn't work.
So I painstakingly tried separating  out the mail I moved and put them
back in my inbox.
(I know, my email activity probably goes beyond what OE is intended for,
but it is convenient and works for me -- most the time.

So as the subject implies, it's me or OE -- does anyone know of an easy
way of recapturing messages accidently stuck in the wrong place?
(This requires more than copying time intervals, as the messages are
interspersed with other messages.)

TIA
