lost email by changing storage location

[Guest]

I'm using outlook 6.0. Someone suggested I back up my email by changing the
storage location for emails I want keep to a new folder and then backing up
the new folder. So I changed the storage location for almost everything to a
folder in My Documents. Now all my email is in there and I can't open
anything and I don't know how to return to the correct storage location.

Outlook 6.0 - is that Outlook 97? Or are you talking about Outlook
Express 6.0? Please clarify. Outlook Express groups can be found here
