Hi

I have Office XP, my PC crashed and I had to format and reinstall
everything, I had a copy of most of the hard drive, is there a way I can
bring the mail from the copy to the new install?

Where is the mail kept?

thanks

Daniel
Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express,

1) for OE, open OE, check "Tools"-"Options"-"Maintenance" in the middle,
there is "Store Folder". Just copy the dbx files, restart OE.
2) for Outlook, open Outlook, check "File"-"Data File Management", also
copy pst files out. In new Outlook, after first open, close it, delete the
original pst file created, re-open Outlook, it said pst missing, then you
give a new path, restart Outlook, it should be ok.


Regard, Dennis

Thanks Dennis, I have Outlook,
will I lose any dasta from the new PST?

thanks

Daniel
