0 moonfish Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 go to: tools, options, maitenance and then store folder... that will tell you where they are... just copy what it says into the explorer bar and then save the directory... and its always best to make a folder like My Mail in your My Documents and redirect the store folder to there, for better access to it... in future :) Hope this helps Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/2704-guess-ill-never-run-out-of-stupid-questions/#findComment-18000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 altezza Veteran Posted October 20, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 20, 2001 If you're using WinXP, open Windows Explorer, and first make sure that you click the option "Show Hidden Files And Folders" under Tools > Folder Options > View. Once done, go to "Documents and Settings" directory then underneath it click on the directory that uses your username. Find "Local Settings" > "Application Data" > "Identities" > {you'll find long folder name with mixed numbers and letters} > "Microsoft" > "Outlook Express". Once you're under "Outlook Express" directory, and you'll find files like inbox.dbx, outbox.dbx, and all other dbx files. Copy your "Outlook Express" folder into any folder you wish to place before you burning it to CD. Don't forget to close Windows Explorer once it's done (up to you :) ) That should help you a lot. Let me know if you're having problems.
