In OE, Tools, Options, Maintenance tab, Store folder button.
This will reveal the location of the current Identity files.
It will be something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{9754006D-2A61-47BF-8B5D-097A0A6CA84C}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express
Your location on the old drive will look similar.
File, Import, Messages, OE6, Import from a OE store directory, browse to the
location on the old drive.

Have suffered a critical registry failure that has forced me to install a
new
hard drive
using XP SP2. I have access to the old drive folders with it installed as
a
slave drive.
I also have the contents of that drive copied on the new C drive.
I have read articles that cover importing and exporting stored messages,
addresses etc but those methods are based on running the programs, which I
can`t do from the original disc.
I would appreciate guidance with respect to recovering the stored data
from
my unusable drive and restoring to the reinstalled mail program on the new
drive(if possible). What folders am I looking for on the old drive?
