[TheForge] OT- for computer geeks

[Darrell]

Phlip,
You will find your email files here.
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Identities\{some #}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
{some #} is a string that outlook express generated. In Windows Explorer, go
to WINDOWS\Application Data\Identities then click on the folder under
Identities (that is the some # folder) then continue till you get to the
Microsoft\Outlook Express folder. They are all .DBX files. Every thing is in
these files but almost impossible to get anything out.
This link tells you how to back everything up but I think that if you
restore from the backup files you will over write any new emails.

About as much help as possible considering we are dealing with Bill.
