Where in the world does Windows (Outlook Expres) store
email files and folders? Many thanks.
 
I don't find any of the .pst extension(s), but have
located ..mbx files/folders. Either way am still unable
to open same. Any more ideas?
 
Hi, BP.

In OE, click Tools | Options..., then the Maintenance Tab, then click the
Store Folder... button and see where they are stored on YOUR computer. It
might be different on mine.

Do as RC White suggested to see where they're stored
and you'll find that OE's folders are files with a .dbx
extension. But individual messages are stored within those
files and you can't get at them from Explorer.

Hi BPMoody,

See if the following Web Site, authored by Tom Koch, Microsoft MVP for Internet
Explorer and Outlook Express and one of PC Magazine's March 2003 top 100 web sites,
can help you locate your OLEXP mail folders and messages.

Also, there are a lot of Outlook Express newsgroups. You may want to post to one of
those. Your message header seems to indicate that you are posting from the Microsoft
Communities Web Page. I am not certain what version of Outlook Express you are
running, though, so I can't provide a direct link.

Below you will find a link to the main Microsoft Communities Internet
Explorer/Outlook Express Newsgroups Web Page. Start there, then in left-side pane
click on the link for your version of Internet Explorer, then click on the Outlook
Express link.
