John, the easy way is to go to Search>All files and folders>type *.dbx

On the backup media that you use regularly.

In OE go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and see where
OE
is currently storing its data files.
Now, go to Start | Find (or Search) and look for *.dbx (with Win2K and
WinXP
you will have to set the search to include hidden files and folders).
If they are found in a different place go back to OE and use
File | Import | Messages.
Select Outlook Express 5 (or 6, they are the same for this purpose).
Select the lower radio button to import from an Outlook Express store
directory and navigate to the location that OE is not using.
