Message folder
 

Any know the name of the folder and location where OE places message
that are downloaded?

Message folder
 

It's called the Message Store, but the folder is named Outlook Express.

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.

Messages download into OE's Inbox folder. The folder's contents are
contained in the INBOX.DBX file in OE's message store but you cannot access
the contents of that file except in OE).

Why do you ask?
