    Outlook Express

    Hi!, Can some one help with identifying the folder where Outlook Express keeps the e-mail folders, I mean; Inbox, outbox etc. I cannot open the currect/updated outlook express as I had to start up my pc with a backup HD and I do not have the latest e-mails on it.
    I can access the original HD and read the files on it.
    Thanks

    Many thanks, I found the folders, but when I try to open them so I could copy the e-mails from the faulty HD to the backup, it asks me to choose the programme to open it with, I selected Outlook express. It does not open the folder to allow me access to the e-mails, it opens the existing folder. I copied the Identity from the faulty HD to the backup one but still I cannot see the e-mails, any ideas?

    Do not copy "Identities" folder. Just copy the .dbx files from old HD to the new HD in respective folder.
