please help we have changed domains on an xp machine and now wee cannot find where the e-mails went we are trying to export them into to new user account.
I would appreciate all the help I can get this is very important to me.

Thanks in advance
 
I'm not 100% sure I understand your question so I apologise in advance for my answer, which is to use the search for files and look for all files with a dbx extension (*.dbx).
 
I don't think changing domains on your XP box will have had any effect on your email (unless you're running Exchange Server).

Some questions:
What application are you using for email?
Are any of your other PCs experiencing this problem?
What email application are you trying to export to?
Does the account you're logged into have admin rights?
Do you have your folder options configured to see hidden
files?

Some things to try:
If you're using Outlook Express, run the export utility
to export your data to Outlook.
If you were using Outlook, do a search of the local
drives for .PST files. Check to make sure you're
folder options are set to allow you to see hidden files.

That's all I can provide now without more information. Sorry.

Regards,
TwistedAdmin
