Default HELP - all emails are gone !

I am using Outlook Express 6 for Window 98, and I use to save all email on
e:\email directory. Once I reinstall window 98, and update IE6, then I try to
change the directory for email folder. It requests something, and I
accidently click the yes button, then all my email records are gone. Does
anyone know on how to restore those past email records.
Thank you in advance
Eric

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 Windows Explorer, search for .DBX files. Any found which are not located
in your current store will most likely be those from your old identity.
(Don't set your hopes too high.) You can Import them using
FileImportMessages....
