: Close OE and this is how you find the message store. Delete any file that
is
: named Pop3uidl.
:
: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
: your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
: location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the
: location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise,
write
: the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.
:
: In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
: marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
: Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
: Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.
