Hi. I have an intriguing problem - I want to restore my OE emails onto my new
hard disk. I have backed up my old OE .dbx files before replacing my hard
disk, have reinstalled Windows XP and recreated my OE acount on the new hard
drive. But, I can't find any .dbx files on the hard disk although I've sent
and received a few test messages - so there are msgs in the inbox, sent
folder and in a new folder. The "store folder" in tools, options points to
the old folder, which no longer exists on the new hard drive. So I don't know
where to put the old .dbx files. Any tips are welcome. Many thanks. Sam

This newsgroup is for Outlook, not Outlook Express. They are NOT the
same program.

Of course, my apologies - I misread the group and thought I was posting it on
the OE newsgroup. Thanks
