I recently upgraded from XP Home to Vista Home Premium and importing my
Outlook Express mail went smoothly. Due to a hardware problem I now need to
format my hdd and install Vista again. Under XP it was easy to find the
location where my email (.dbx) was saved but with Vista/ Windows Mail I am
unable to find the location where it is saved.! I rather find the location
and copy the files to another hdd and after re-installing Vista I wat to copy
the files into Windows Mail again. I want to do it this way, if possible,
because I always had problems with Windows Back-up!

Anyone now what to do?

Thanks,

Eric
 
same as you used to do under XP.
WM - Tools - Advanced tab - Maintenance - Store folder.

be advised it is not always easy to backup/restore WM data.
