Look for files with a .dbx extension. Usually in a folder labeled
Identities.
 
Vista upgrades will put all old data files in a folder named Windows.old.
Someone who still has OE can give you the complete path.

You mention both Outlook and Outlook Express. Two entirely different
programs. Which?
 
Hi ,
Outlook express !
I have managed to find my dbx files by doing a dbx search and put them in a
folder .But I am still having trouble restoring my old email.

I also saved my emails in outlook from express so if there is a better waqy
to get it back from there it would be usefull.
Thanks in advance for the help of every one !
