I recently had to reload a Win2K O/S on my home machine. After the reload, Win2K had created a second profile for the Administrator. I had mail that was stored in the old profile that I have been unable to access. How can I do that?

If you are using Outlook Express, first make sure you are an administrator, then go to:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{XXXXXXX}\Microsoft\Outlook Express where USERNAME is your old username. That folder contains files that stores your emails. Just move the content of the whole folder to your same folder in your NEW PROFILE. Start Outlook Express and you're done.
