Outlook Express Help for an OS 9.2 User

I'm a dinosaur using OE 5.0.6 on OS 9.2.2. I wound up having to do the "complex rebuild" on OE 5.0.6 thing after getting "the end of file was reached" message. Now I have "Messages" and "Mailing Lists" subfolders (showing a total of 31.7 MB) in a Recovered Items Folder in my OE Folder AND in my Identity(s) Folder.

Does anyone out here (dinosaur like myself...or otherwise) think/feel/believe that using the Microsoft Internet First-Run button would usher these messages and mailing lists back into my primary mail account?

Or have another solution?

Thanks much,
Pat
