How can I change the location of the local folders in Outlook Express. I
would like to share the local folders with another user, so I would like to put the folder in a location that can be accessed by both of us, ie - a folder in c:\Mail |

Windows version?
It's possible to share your entire store with other users of a WinXP machine, but not just the inbox. It's also possible for 2 or more users of an email address to be able to access all incoming messages without sharing a store. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), Aumha.org VSOP, DTS-L.org joel wrote: How can I change the location of the local folders in Outlook Express.

I upgraded to XP Professional. I was using XP Home before and had it working.
I can't figure out how to change where the mbx files are. When I go to properties, it shows me where they are, but won't let me change it. Thanks, Joel "PA Bear" wrote: Windows version?

Open Outlook Express, click Tools/Options/Maintenance and then Store Folder
button to determine where the *DBX* files are located. MBX files were used in Outlook Express 4. For info on moving it, see this link: http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#movestore -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...8-1171988A62D6 Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.

Tools Options Maintenance Store folder will reveal the location of
your current Identity's store (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain). Write it down. In WindowsXP, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start Control Panel Folder Options View. To share your store with another user (i.e., one who's using a separate User Profile in WinXP), see http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_o..._share_address It's also possible for 2 or more users of an email address to be able to access all incoming messages without sharing a store. If you'd like information on the above, let us know. -- ~PA Bear joel wrote: I upgraded to XP Professional. I was using XP Home before and had it working.
