Hello k:

If you didn't save them, and you no longer have access to that account, they're gone. When you SEE pictures you want, you need to SAVE them to your hard drive.. I have a file called pictures.

My crystal ball is out for calibration... so I can't tell yuou if or where they are at on your computer.

Unless you saved those pictures on your computer they might not be there... depending on WHERE that account was...

Places like Yahoo and Hotmail... then they are bye-bye... as they never resided on your machine. And depending on EXACTLY what type of mail program you uesed and HOW it was configured.

Not knowing that info means we can't even venture a guess.

How did you access your old email account?

If you did webmail then the pictures are gone without having access to the account anymore.

If you used Outlook or Outlook Express, Microsoft Mail or some other email reader program then the emails are on your computer and you still have access to them, as long as you haven't deleted the email program or wiped your hard drive clean.

If you used Outlook, Outlook Express, etc. just open that program up and look for the email that has those pictures; THEN save them to your computer under "My Pictures".
