Hi Eugene,

The Outlook Express messages are stored in DBX files in the store folder.
Post back if you want to backup your messages or have any other question
about the files.

Open the Store Folder

Instead of using search the store folder can be opened directly. Each
identity has its own store folder.



a.. In Outlook Express click on Tools, Options, Maintenance tab...Store
Folder.
b.. Place the cursor at the left of the text of the path to the folder.
c.. Drag the cursor to the right until the text scrolls to the end.
d.. Right-click on the text and choose Copy.
e.. In the Start, Run box right-click Paste. Click OK to open the store
folder.


1. Quit Outlook Express (in some cases).

2. Right-click the Start button, and then click Find or Search.

3. Search for the *.dbx files. You may need to include hidden files
and folders.

Tim: An even easier method when opening that page, is to use the tab to
highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C and close OE, then use Start/Run
and Ctrl+V. Same caveat about hidden files applies but can be easily
modified in Explorer by using Tools/Folder Options.
