Where to find data for Outlook Express

[phillydog]

My box crapped out and most was lost, but I was able to salvage the 'Program Files' and 'Documents and Settings' folders from the bad disks.

Does anyone know which files would have my e-mails and addressbook and how I can copy them to the new disk to hopefully regain that info?

That's for Outlook, he's using Outlook Express.

You want .dbx files.

Address Book is .wab file.

make sure you have see show all files and folder enabled under Tools-Folder Options-View Tab

then look here.


C:/Documents and Settings/[your username]/Local Settings/Application Datas/Identities/[bunch of numbers]/Microsoft/Outlook

Okay... looking at the above string, I have 4 folders all with Outlook stuff... which one(s) is relevant?

Nevermind... I imported all of them and got all my messages, and used a message above for my address book...

Thanks to all who helped !!!!
