    Thanks for your reply.I searched for DBX files but hasn't come the outlook express.
    I am getting the Outlook express in C DRIVE. And I am keeping the old HD as F:
    I had so many imp mails in my outlook express in the old system and I need your help to get it back.
    Hope you will give me some new idea to retrive it.

    The files are hidden so you need to set the search to include hidden files.

    Thank you so much.I got the lost files as DXB files.Now I can open it in note pad format.though it serves the purpose,is it possible them to be transferred to New Outlook express??
    Or even if its possible to open as a mail message that would be grate... :)
    Thanks once again

    I believe you open the DBX files from within Outlook using File>Open or try adding them as folders.
