Where are the messages kept ?

[kwunder]

Having used Windows Me in the past with Outlook Express 6, In the event of formatting the HD, I have always copied all my messages and message folders to disk so as to replace them after the new installation. To do it, I always went to Application Data/Identities/Outlook express (that is where all the .dbx files are) No I use XP Pro, I can't find any .dbx files on there !!!! Where are they ???

Thanks in advance

OK Sorted.

For those of you who this may help, the default location of these dbx files in XP Pro is :-

C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxxxx\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Having done a search in XP for *.dbx, the results were ZERO. I found it by going into Outlook express, Tools/Options/Maintainance/Store Folder and the inout box gave me the location !

Hope this helps someone !!
