Outlook Express message files

[dingerbell]

HI first post on here(I think, I posted on the windows newsgroup site but
don't see it here)

I recently installed XP and Outlook Express no longer has my original saved
emails. Like an Idiot I didn't think to back up. Can anyone suggest how to
locate and import these old messages?

Thanks

If you did a reinstall over XP than your messages are still alive.
Do a search for .dbx files.
