Outlook Express

[Michael]

I installed XP Pro, and blew away Win Me. After install,
my old email downloaded from POP3 email client is missing
when I open Outlook Express-it asked me if I want to set
up new email account. How do I get my old account/email
messages back?

 

[JD]

did u format the drive? or upgraded?

 

[Mike]

unless you arcived all your emails before you did what i
expect is a fresh install you dont as with any other
files or folders they have been writen over sorry
Mike P.S. make sure you back everything up before
performing any changes to your system

Search for "*.dbx" files without the quotes. In XP, search hidden files.
In OE, File, Import, OE6, point to the files..........
