Outlook Express
Hi,
Probably under a profile associated with the old installation. OLEXP: Mail Folders, Address Book, and E-mail Messages Are Missing After You Upgrade to Microsoft Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313055 The recovery technique described in the above article should help you regain them, unless the files were overwritten. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Toyo" wrote in message ...

In OE got to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and see where OE is currently storing its data files. Now, go to Start | Find (or Search) and look for *.dbx (with Win2K, WinXP and Win2K3 you will have to set the search to include hidden files and folders). If they are found in a different place go back to OE and use File | Import | Messages. Select Outlook Express 5 (or 6, they are the same for this purpose). Select the lower radio button to import from an Outlook Express store directory and navigate to the location that OE is not using. Also, see this article: http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/probl...s.htm#mailgone -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE Please respond in Newsgroup only.
