Default Left over files from old e-mail accounts


Hi Everyone,
I have reason to believe that there are left over files from , deleted
old e-mail accounts that I have previously removed from Outlook Express 6, on
my WinXP Pro SP3 computer.
How can I tell which Outlook Express folders are left overs and not
current? I'm asking because a lot of Outlook Express folders, and Identity's
are numbered and not named.
Thanks.

Look at the GUIDs for your current identities. (The long string of letters
and numbers).

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in
Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run.

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.

Following the path to the message stores, you will see multiple Identity
Folders. The ones with a GUID that does not match any of your current
identities GUID are the obsolete ones.
