I hate OE, it uses a single file for each mail folder, and when this
file gets bigger than 2GB (easily possible for the inbox folder and a
few years of email with attachments), it cannot open it anymore. So what
does is do? It creates a new empty file with the same name, nuking all
your emails.
And then when you buy Office to get Outlook, it cannot import emails
from OE!
I easily lost a week when I had to deal with this on my mother's pc...
