Hello folks,
I really need help and assistance! I may have lost someone's MSN mail
and I need to recover it if at all possible. For various reasons I will be
vague here and I'm posting anonymously. However, the person who can help
me by furnishing the most fruitful advice, links, or whatever I will e-mail
and paypal $100 (I will base my descision on the responses I have recieved
by Monday night).
OK, that said, here is what I need to know:
1) Where can I get old versions of MSN software to install/test/tweak for
diagnostics and troubleshooting?
2) For each version of MSN, from 5 and 6 onwards, what folders, tempfiles,
registry keys, etc are created (even if they are immediately deleted) during
upgrades and fresh installs of that version of MSN. The key idea here is I
need to know what is done with the e-mail messages during a MSN upgrade.
Where are they put. How are they converted? What are they called at each stage,
etc.
3) What the hell are .000 files and how can I re-populate an inbox with files
in this form. The directory I found that contains these files has four main
types of files a) a .log file whose name I can't remember at the moment b) an
index file (no extension) c) an index.main file and d) individual e-mails in
some format ending in ".000". The log file has references to the e-mail folders,
their message count, etc., which jive with the pre-"****-up" situation.
If anyone has an MSDN license and can talk to an MS rep. that might help me some.
My main problem is the total information overload of the internet. I need help
asap or I'm history, dust. Please don't post any remarks like "you should have
done" such and such. I'm already aware of what I should have done and what needs
to be done in the future.
