How can I find my email location?

[Guest]

I recently upgraded from XP Home to Vista Home Premium and importing my
Outlook Express mail went smoothly. Due to a hardware problem I now need to
format my hdd and install Vista again. Under XP it was easy to find the
location where my email (.dbx) was saved but with Vista/ Windows Mail I am
unable to find the location where it is saved.! I rather find the location
and copy the files to another hdd and after re-installing Vista I wat to copy
the files into Windows Mail again. I want to do it this way, if possible,
because I always had problems with Windows Back-up!

Anyone now what to do?

Thanks,

Eric

same as you used to do under XP.
WM - Tools - Advanced tab - Maintenance - Store folder.

be advised it is not always easy to backup/restore WM data.

I looked at the site http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/ but I couldn't find
help for Windows Mail. Only tips and tricks for Outlook Express! Can you
please give me the right directions?

Thanks for your help so far!!

That is just for OE. See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm

That has it for OE and WinMail.
