search your hard drive for any .dbx files

go to the "find" box and put it "*.dbx"..without the quotes..those would be your outlook express folders

or look in C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Identities\ and there should be some long string of numbers such as {3d561620-861A-11e7-9655-8F345639762}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Open Outlook Express, go to File, Import, Messages and try getting them back from your application data main identity folder. If that doesn't work, someone else here will probably have other ideas for you.
