I use outlook express and need to find the folder that holds all the e-mails that I did not delete. I would like to take that folder from my C:\ drive and copy it to f:\ drive on the server.
Any ideas.
Thanks, Sean

I don't have my OE in front of me but there are 2 ways to do this.

1 - Under Tools | Options are a number of tabs. Prowl around in there and look for the path to your "store file". It will be something like c:\Desktop Setting\Profile\UserID\Outlook Express\{9110asdf78891q

2 - Create a new email folder, with some very distinctive name, like "Rasputin". Then search for that file. OE will have created a file by the name of "rasputin.mbx" (or something like that - I believe the extension is mbx). The parent folder contains all of your folders, including your inbox, etc.

PS: It sounds like you might also want to remember to locate your address book (*.wab).
