Most peculiar. I have noticed before that the Recuva docs state that emails can be recovered, but the link didn't link to anything. Following H's link I have the docs, but I don't have email as an option in the filter box. I'm on the latest Recuva of course, and XPHSP3 with OE.

The Email option in the filter will be in the next release of Recuva. We were a bit too keen with our documentation here

And we're too keen reading it. Thanks Mr Ron.

I posted this in your thread but perhaps should have started a new one - apologies if I've deviated too much.

 

I think I'm expecting too much here ....

I accidentally replaced my current Outlook Express files, Inbox.dbx, etc, with old backups.

Recuva has found them but when I try to recover them it loads my processor up (see Task Manager - Performance tab) to 100% and sits there all day.

If I use the Email option in the Recuva drop-down instead, the recovered zip file does not contain the correct stuff, in fact very little.

 

Bottom line - Why is Recuva loading my AMD Athlon XP 2600+ processor to 100% ? (or on my newer pc, AMD Athlon XP64 5200+ dual core to 50%)

And why does it sit there on 0% progress telling me it's calculating the time left instead of telling me it cannot recover the information?

Could it in fact be busy recovering it, and I just need to leave it running for a few days?

Or is it because the file type is not on the list?

 

Regards to all,
