outlook express messages, where did they go?

[Guest]

Upgraded from Micrsoft ME to Microsoft XP. Everything did the changover, even outlook express addresses. The outlook express messages and folders did not. How do I get them back together into Outlook express again?

Hi Tucker:

Go to Start > Run and type cmd press enter

Then type cd\ press enter.

Then type dir *.dbx /s (note the space between x and /) press enter

This should reveal the location of your old messages, move them
manually to the new folders created during the install, something
like: C:\Documents and settings\<user> \ etc... \Microsoft\Outlook
Express.

Hope this helps.
