Where are e-mail-names

on a crashed disk?

I am doing recovery for files.

With Export we get .iaf-files, but where are they before in DOS/Explorer?

OE 6

Open OE6.
Tools|Options|Maintenance|Store Folder.


It differs for every install. That odd folder name changes.

That seem to be old emails, I'm searching my own adresses, perhaps I can
find some there, but I like to know where they are before IAF.

..WAB file. Search for it. Is your windows address book.
Sorry, You did say names in the header. You should repeat that in the
body maybe for clarity (FYI).

Outlook Express uses the e-mail addresses saved in the Windows Address
Book (WAB). Search for a *.wab file on the old hard disk. Make sure to
include hidden files in your search. Of course, "crash" says nothing
about the actual usable state of your old hard disk so you may not be
able to retrieve anything from that hard disk.

Not my own as I wrote, only others, I may start saving mine there.

Your reply is nonsensical. Outlook Express uses Windows Address Book.
Doesn't matter if "not your own" or "others", whatever that meant. WAB
is the only address book that OE uses.

..iaf files are for exporting/importing the account definitions. Those
..iaf files have nothing to do with the e-mails in the .dbx files. Those
..iaf files have nothing to do with the e-mail addresses in the WAB.

Right and I asked where those IAF are before becoming iaf

They're yanked out of registry entries. Would've been more
understandable if you had asked "Where does the data come from that is
used to generate the .iaf files?". Asking where IAF comes from before
becoming IAF is looped logic.

I read that before, impossible to find then?

I seldom have my own in wab, may be a good idea to start with.
