Hi there
To solve password problems I deleted nad reinstalled my outlook account,
without previously saving my profile. As a result I loss all my inbox and
associated messages, folders ...
However, my contacts are still registered, so there must be a saved file
somewhere ... COuld anyone help me solve this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance...

Click on File | Identities | Manage Identities. Is there another one,
possibly your old one, listed there? If there is, File | Import | Messages.
Choose MSOE6 and point to the old identity.

If your old identity is not listed there, enable Hidden Files and Folders.

In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.

In Windows explorer, follow this pate and see if you have more than one
identity and OE message sore folder listed there.

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{Long string of letters and numbers}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express

If you have more than one, one of them is probably your old one.

See what you find and post back.
