Help!,
I tried to set up a "new" identity in Outlook Express, and in the process
"removed" my Main Identity. Is there a way to retrieve the original folders
with all my e-mails in them?
Thanks,
Learning the hard way.

Not unless you backed up OE.
 
You can do a search through your C:\Documents and Settings.
Search for files of the name *.dbx.

Make sure you're able to see hidden and system files in Explorer,
Folder Options before you do the search.

Also you might want to post your question in the following
Newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

Theres also some information about it available at:

Good luck. :-)
