Default Where are Messages Stored?

I'm sure this has been asked many times, but I never had to try to restore a
system before. All of my data files were backed up in a folder, but I don't
know where to go look for my old OE messages or Address Book.

Does anyone know where they were originally stored? My folder names are
still defined under a higher folder name so the files should still be in the
folder they were originally in.

Thanks.
