Outlook Express had trouble opening and had to shut down. When it did open next time, my complete inbox history was gone. Vanished. The current emails came in but all prior emails are gone. All other folders are still intact with even over 200 emails in a folder. All Sent emails are in their folder. Only the inbox folder was affected. Any idea what happened or how to retrieve it? Thank you.

1. Export all your old mail history

1. Open Outlook (not Outlook.com) and click the File tab and select Open & Export.
2. Click the Import/Export button and select Export to a file.
3. Select Outlook Data File (.pst)
4. Select the mail account (not just the Inbox) usually at the top and indented to the left of the Inbox column.
