E-mail files storage location

[Garry Nierotka]

Where are the windows mail e-mails stored?
I reciently had to reformat my "C" drive. I lost all of my e-mails, and
contact information. Outlook use to store them in "My Documents as a .PST
file.

To see your storage location,
go to Tools - Options - Advanced - Maintenance - Store Folder

It's normally C:\Users\<yourlogin>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail

\Appdata is normally hidden

Email messages are stored as individual .eml files.

Contacts are stored in C:\Users\<yourlogin>\Contacts
