Default Outlook Express & MSN 9

MSN mail messages are stored on the server and not on the user's computer.
If he did not export his mail while MSN 9 was installed, he may be out of
luck. If he terminated the account, the mail messages may have already been
deleted from the server. Just another reason why we encourage people to
read the instructions before removing programs.

I just received a call from a friend who was using MSN 9. Apparently,
it gave him the option a few months ago to transfer his data from
Outlook Express into a new MSN 9 version of OE. This week he canceled
his account with MSN and found that he could no longer access his
e-mail or contacts. The MSN support people have given him the
runaround and have not helped at all. Does anyone know if there is a
way to recover this data and transfer it back into Outlook Express 6?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks Jim for the prompt reply. You gave me exactly what I needed to know.

I'm disapointed to learn that all the messages are kept on an MSN server and
not on the local computer. It doesn't seem right for users to lose control
of their data but I guess there is nothing that can be done now.

I'll let him know the bad news.
