    Outlook Express Question

    Anyone know how to get emails from a harddrive that had ouitlook express on it? Im just wondering where outlook stores them.

    The drive died and I am using a harddrive recovery program to get all my work and I have almost everything (thank god) but I need some recent emails that are real important.

    Import the documents (not my documents) folder then import files from there.

        Get Yahoo the pay email service they have, I dont have to worry about viruses anymore. All my email is online I can check it from any computer. Also it was pretty cheap.

            That's where mine located...

            C:\Documents and Settings\"USERNAME"\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{E23661A2-E011-45CB-909C-E18C3EC05BE8}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

            replace "USERNAME" with yours and those numbered string should be different on yours...then grab the required folder from there...like inbox, etc.

                More precisely, you have to look files with .dbx extension. Such as Inbox.dbx...
