Outlook mail store folder

[BJDobson]

I have always stored my OE 6 "mail" folder on my "D" drive. Have formatted my C drive many times and put everything right and they all show up again because they're on my D drive. This time, I had to move everything off my D drive and, when I put it back, it looks like everything's there but it doesn't show up in my Outlook any more. My folders are gone, messages are gone, etc. They're still there but I can't get them to "work" with Outlook any more. Maybe I moved a read-only file or some such thing that can't be moved then moved back? Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Did that. Won't work. Says no messages can be found in this folder. I know they're there. I downloaded a trial version of another program that can view outlook express mail and it did it fine but I want it back where it belongs.... ANy ideas?

Been there... tried that... get this message:

"The specified message store could not be opened. It may be in use by Outlook Express"

It seems to work... open up OE and they move... but they don't come... I moved the file folder when I cleaned up drive D without using Outlook to move the contents and probably a hidden file of some sort didn't move with it like it should have so now it can't access it like it used to...sigh.

Witch folder are you pointing to .
You may have to recreated the special numeric folder,
and the folders under it,put the mailfiles in there
and import from {EDBA....} folder.



Original path look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\"USERNAME"\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{EDBA67F0-F7A3-4DAE-B8D9-3ECD8F3A1F5C}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
