Deleted my Outlook Express

[Guest]

Accidentally deleted my Outlook Express 6 and seem to lost my e-mails that
I’ve saved for years. Is their a way of re-installing Outlook Express and to
recover the e-mails. All that I’ve done is to download Outlook Express 7. It
is still a EXE file. Haven’t installed it yet.

If you are using Windows XP you CAN'T "delete" Outlook express. All you do
is remove ACCESS to it. Go to Control panel-Add/Remove Programs-Add/remove
Windows Components and check Outlook Express. You may need your Windows
CD...

BTW, this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply,

I'm using Windows ME. After installing Outlook Express either by going the
Control panel Add/Remove or from Microsoft Website is my e-mails basically
lost?

I'm using Windows ME, after I've re-installed Outlook Express either in
Control Panel (Add/Remove) or by downloading it from Microsoft.com is their
anyway of recovering or searching for lost e-mails. Or is it just gone?

Uninstalling OE should not have removed the mail store. Not being familiar
with ME, do a search for *.dbx files. (You may have to tell ME to search
hidden and system files). When you have found them, open OE, and go to
File-import and navigate to where you found them.
