I reinstalled XP. I can't access previous user profile. Have I lost the
email from this profile (OE6)? How do I access it? Thanks.

A reinstall or a repair installation/over-the-top installation? Is the
profile still there in other words and you just can't access it?

If so then take ownership of it.

Then the data will be in:

C:\Documents and Settings\account name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{funny looking long string of numbers about this
long}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
