Solved: retrieving OE email from drive

[Couriant]

Hey guys, I need to retrieve my emails from Outlook Express from my old drive. My old machine died (see sig ) and I couldn't attach the drive as a primary on my new one. (Kept restarting) I need to know where the files were stored so I can retrieved them.

Thanks in advance!

i got it now. For those interested, the location of the stored emails is:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{D8FAC464-B0C0-42F8-B1E4-47A30A66F6BB}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Thanks for the feedback, I don't know how I missed this thread, you are a quick study!

For those not familiar with Outlook Express, the path is usually the same...

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{D8FAC464-B0C0-42F8-B1E4-47A30A66F6BB}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

but the CLSID in red will change for each new Identity added and will be different on another machine.

I hope you saved the Folders.dbx file!

Opps, missed that bit. But like you said the path is the same. Usually if you are using one identity per windows account then it should be the only one there.

Quick study? I had to be I needed those emails Not just mine but my wifes (she's a freelancer and needed hers more )
