    Locating Outlook Express folder and files
    My computer crashed.
    I have the data disk, but not a functioning computer.
    The "old" computer was running XP / Outlook Express.

    The "new" computer runs Vista / MS Mail

    I have read the other posts that begin with... "export mail from Outlook Express".
    The old computer is not functioning and I cannot run Outlook Express.

    I have the data disk and would like help locating the folder containing the mail folder and files... What is the path to the folder and what are the names of the file(s) containing the old mail files.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    See Inside Outlook Express - Files and Settings - The OE Store Folder. Be aware that the location of the store could have also been customized and changed from the default from within Outlook Express.
