Alms for the Techno-Dummy

[jmward14]

I've used Eudora as my mail program for ages.  I's wonderful for filtering out spam, viruses, etc.  But every so often--usually around the time they introduce a new version--it randomly dumps YEARS of my inbox.  Tonight it just took me back to 2004.  Getting in touch with Qualcom (the manufacturer) is pointless.  They'll only tell me to upload the new version, which is exactly the same as the old version and never, ever restores the old mail, so why bother?
Can anyone suggest where the dumped mails might be hiding and how I can get them back?  Thanks!
Harried hugs,
Jean Marie

"not in anyplace I can find"

Try a search for

*.mbx

That should lead you to where the files are stored.

{{{{realthog}}}} I did that--and a couple of other possible combinations besides. The file apparently got corrupted, per the discussions at the University of Wisconsin help page. All the .mbx files showed were the corrupted mailboxes.
Hugs and thanks for the thought,
