Outlook Express files

[norbones]

I need help finding my email files and web address book
so I can back them up. I've used the Windows search
feature looking for *.dbx, *.eml, *.email, *.mail,
*.wab,*.pab, inbox.dbx etc.and userMPS but no results
were displayed. They have got to be on my PC somewhere.
Can you help me find these files?

Using Windows XP Home(SP1), Outlook Express 6 and
Internet Explorer 6.

Thanks in advance.

They are hidden files, check your settings under Tools/Folder Options. Good
luck!

Hi

In OE go to Tools>Options>Maintenance and then click on the 'Store Folder...' button. That will tell you which folder your OE files are in. If you use the following link, there is a program to backup all your OE files:

They are under
C:\Documents and Settings\yourname

Address book in Application data\Microsoft\AddressBook\you.wab
Mail files I can't remember where exactly by default, but if you run OE
- Tools - Options - Maintenance and click Store folder it will tell you.
