Email files in which folder?

[Goh Wee Kia]

Can anyone please tell me the mails in Inbox, Sent Items, etc are stored in
which file or folder in the C Drive?

As you posted using Outlook Express 5.5, I'll assume your referring to
Outlook Express data.

Tools>Options>Maintenance>Store folder will reveal the location of your
Identity's store.

Depends on the client and, in non-default configs, your preferences.

Assuming defaults, try:

Outlook:
\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\<filename>.pst

Outlook Express:
\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{big long number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\<all dbx files>

Mozilla Mail-And-D:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\<alphanumeric id>.slt\Mail\Local
Folders\<filenames>

Those are the clients I know of, but other locations are possible,
depending on your setup.
