Outlook Express "Retrieval Tool" Is Really Search
Regarding "Still Not Getting The Messages" in the October 9 issue ( http://langa.com/newsletters/2006/2006-10-09.htm#7 ) here's another maybe for Outlook Express recovery: http://www.mailnavigator.com/
This program will work with a variety of eMail repositories. From their advertising:
"...is a powerful information retrieval tool for the mailbox folders of the majority of popular mail programs: MS Mail, MS News, MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, Eudora, Forte Agent, Pegasus Mail, The Bat, Eserv, and also for all the popular bases of the Fidonet information network."
Major drawbacks are:
1. the documentation is terse and the interface sometimes counterintuitive, but with a bit of persistence and discovery you can read, sort, filter most eMail without the original program. It is then possible to export the results to a common type generally Eudora. From there you can import it to your eMail program.
2. Doesn't handle HTML coded eMail gracefully. The text is available but the formatting is not. I don't remember the price and I don't see it on the web site. As I remember it, it was about $30. But I may be wrong. I do know it saved my bacon. Your newsletter has to be one of the greatest bargains going. ---Keith R. Casper
Thanks, Keith! MailNavigator from SoftNavigator lets
you search for and read e-mail in the formats you listed, subscribe to and
manage newsgroups do other useful things as well. The company Web site speaks
confusingly about "retrieval," but what they mean is finding with search tools,
rather than "recovering" e-mail from damaged database files. Still, it looks
like a powerful way to search e-mail. MailNavigator is $29 for "personal" users
and $40 for business users.
