I deleted forever, messages in Gmail that been imported from Outlook Express 6. I am in the process of closing down OE and using Gmail as my primary email account. I connected the two accounts through IMAP. Doing the transfer of messages, a lot of duplicates were created. Since only a copy of the email is sent to Gmail, I deleted all the messages in Gmail thinking that the original email is still in OE. But to my surprise, OE mail was all gone.

I ran Recuva to try and recover these files. I have the .dbx and .bak files both of the inbox and imap.gmail.com files. How do I put them back so I can access my emails?
