im wondering if this is what i may not be doing right??
(NOTE: Make sure to include the Folders.dbx file when you copy the
folders.
This file is necessary for the import functions in Outlook Express.)
i did find the addresses and i was able to import that.
thanks

Hi Gena,

A new Outlook Express (default) identity may have been created as part
of the restore process. This Microsoft KB article tells how to recover
the lost data -- if this is the case.

ok so my computer had some problems and i decided to resore it with the
CD
and chosse the one that does not delete your file and stuff. When it
came
back up all files and everything was gone. I finally found all files
under
search--back up. I did however have to restart my outlook and when i
did
everything there was gone. addresses, emails that were kept in files,
etc.
How can I find them? Some are very important....
thanks for any advise or help you give.




We can't tell from what you say. Is Folders.dbx there with the other DBX
files you want to import?
Did you make sure none are Read Only?
