Looking for my emails and address book

[Kerry]

My mother board failed. I purchased a new computer and added my old hard
disk as a secondary HD.

Where are my old emails and address book? I've done searches using .wab but
all it brings up is the address book on my new HD.

TIA

Kerry

What email client are you using?

If Outlook, look for a .pst file.

Hi Kerry

Try a search for .DBX files.

Thanks Will, I knew there was a simple trick but couldn't remember what it
was.

Be sure to search hidden files.
