Outlook Express stores dbx files in the following folder:
Documents and settings\my name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{F......long alph numeric}\microsoft\Outlook Expess
I recenstly restored Windows 2000 Pro, I used WINNT2 instead of WINNT for
the new install. Now Outlook Express cannot read the saved messages reported
in the dbx file shown in Outlook Express above, they were not lost since Idid
an over write instead of format. How do I tell the system now to read those
dbx files, they represent ome 40 folders of saved emil messages.
