I just upgraded to XP and there was no warning or info
that I would loose my address book and identity. Is it
stored somewhere that I can import it. Since it's a
Microsoft product and I've upgraded OE before without
loosing my messages I wasn't worried. I can find any
help on this.

Thanks So much. I'm still so suprised that in all the
info that XP warned me about they didn't mention this.
Anyway, thanks again.

Your info is still there; XP stores this info in different folders. Set your
search to show hidden files, then do a search for *.dbx (your mail files)
and *.wab (address book). Write down the path to these files. Then open OE
and use the import feature to import these files. browsing to the location
where you found the files.
