if you can log onto the computer (preferably with Admin privs), go into the folder "Documents and Settings" and somewhere deep in there are the files containing your OE file. Usually it's in:

C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\(random numbers)\Microsoft\Outlook Express\

And your OE files should be in there. Username correspond to the name of your profile.

Poke around and see if you can find any other .dbx files on your computer.

in OE, there's an Import function under the file menu. It'll bring up a wizard to import other OE mailboxes. Follow the directions in the wizard. there'll be a place for you to browse for those .dbx files you found

I see the import command but it's only for importing from other mailboxes doesn't give me an option to import dbx files. Do i need to use a different version of outlook express? I'm currently using 5, thanks
