It is easy! You just look at the original path of the bak file before you restore it from the recycle bin.If you mark the file in the recycle bin, at the bottom of the window you can see the original path of the file. Click "restore", and then go to that folder (or first go to that folder and then copy the "inbox.bak" file in manually. Then remove the damaged "inbox.dbx" file from that folder, and rename the "inbox.bak" file from the recycle bin into "inbox.dbx". That's it! Be careful with any new emails you have received since the problem has occurred, there will not be included in your original, undamaged file from the recycle bin.In fact, this worked for me and is taken from the microsoft support page. Good luck!
