Missing Local folders

[Guest]

I recently upgraded to XP Home version from ME. In outlook express, I
cannot find the 'Local Folders, that I had previously created, meaning that I
have lost my e-mail history. I very much want to retrieve these e-mails. Any
help would be much appreciated.

Try going to Explorer and clicking on Tools then click on Folder Options and
check to see if 'View hidden files and folders' is checked. That folder may
very well be hidden.

Thanks Raoul
I did that and checked 'view hidden files and folders'. But I still don't
see them in OE. Do I have to do something else? I did exit OE and then
re-open it.
