I had to create a new profile <old one apparently corrupted>. I could find my old address book, and imported it successfully, as well as my messages. What type of file is the OE settings that I can transfer? I have no clue what I am looking for. TIA :)

Look in OE's menu at Tools/Options/Maintenance/Store Folder

The messages are stored in DBX files, one for each OE 'folder'.
To see them you will have to set Windows Explorer (or Search) to Show hidden
files and folders.
