Search for *.dbx files. Include hidden files in your search.
It is safer to import to a new location.

: | Hi

:
: What you are asking is...
:
: "...Outlook Express on drive "C:", but have the emails saved on drive
"D:"
: ?"
: The answer is YES.
:
: By defaultt and design, Outlook Express (OE) resides in...
: "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express"
:
: What you want is the data directory to be on drive "D:" (or other hard
: disk or partition).
:
: Create a folder on Drive "D:" such as OE-Data ( D:\OE-Data )
:
: Go to; Tools -- Options -- maintenance -- store folder -- change
:
: Browse to; D:\OE-Data
:
: BTW: This is exactly what I do on my computers.

: Be very careful that the folder exists before telling OE to change. If
you

to
: change to D:\OE-Data and you have not already created D:\OE-Data then
you
