3 things.
1 - You criticized me for accidentally posting the same message twice. Sorry
for that but if i can't even get the posting part right, you can imagine how
frustrating the rest of this process is. I don't know computers. Please bear
with me.
2 - I went to the dts-l.org page about "good posting" and again, if I knew
all the technical stuff and computer jargon, I probably wouldn't need the
help for which I am asking. I don't speak technobabble, I am a computer
illiterate. I'm doing my best.
3 - My actual problem. Logged into Outlook like I have done 1,000 times and
it informed me that a new version was available. Would I like to update? I
clicked yes and the new version OE6 installed itself. Problem was all my old
saved emails (and folders) and address book disappeared after the new update.
Where did they go and how do I get them back? All the new version wants me to
do is to have me log in as (or set up) a new user. If I do this with my email
address and server info, I am afraid it will prohibit me from accessing all
old/archived emails, folders, address book, etc. that I do not want to lose.
How can I make the new version update all my email stuff with the old, saved
messages and folders. That's my problem. Please help a luddite out. Thanks.

tried using the 'file' 'import' function in oe6 but have no idea where to
browse to find the folder where my messages are stored.

afraid if i simply set up a new mail account, i will lose all the saved
emails and addresses that i had but for i updated to the new version.

strangely, if i log off and switch user to my brother's side of the
computer, all his emails and everything came thru the update just fine.

any thoughts on how to get all my old emails back?
