Hi,
I have already searched for dbx files with no luck. - just the new dbx
files
are found.
How do I search for another user profile?
The only account set up on the computer is "owner"
Thanks,

It sounds as if you lost the entire user profile, or at least you lost
the
previous message store location. I would do an Advanced Search for
*.dbx
and include hidden files and folders under the Advanced search
parameters.
Make sure also you have in Explorer, Tools | Folder Options | View and
uncheck the option to hide extensions of known file types and to show
hidden files and perhaps even protected and OS files. That way you
will
see them if they are there.
If you find a directory of dbx files that are not the current ones,
then
you can try File | Import | Messages to get them into the current
message
store. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
