Outlook Express messages not showing

Hello All:
I have a client who uses Outlook Express in Windows XP Pro for POP3 email. Recently, all messages received after 2007 would not show. After restarting, they showed up again and all is well. Now no messages are showing except the ones downloaded just today. I have checked View -> Show and Show All Messages is selected. I have also checked the size of the dbx files - inbox is 765 MB, sent is 936 MB, deleted is 25 MB, etc. So the databases are still large, but I only see 10 messages in the inbox with no attachments. Any ideas where to look for / recover these messages?? System is a laptop with Win XP Home, Core2Duo 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB HD.

OK, I tried a couple of the extract tools (thanks for the links), but it turns out that we had a backup, so we just copied in the backup files and went from there. Thanks, you guys are great.
