Lost mail during upgrade

[Guest]

Where did my old mail go! I have several years of mail from family members
missing. I have my address book, but no mail. Where can I find it? I have
always used OE6 and just upgraded from 98 to XP home.

Hi,

Close OE. Then go to Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden
files and folders. Then do a Search for *.dbx...Open OE/File/Import. Be
sure to set search options to search hidden files, folders and system
folders. Inbox is under a hidden folder.
