Hi I wanted to recover my stored mail from a crashed HD. I was wondering if anyone can tell me which folder on MY HD will have my Outlook Express mail and contacts stored in it. Thank you for your help.

Not quite, Tony...

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{string of letters and numbers}\Outlook Express

Local Settings will be a hidden folder, so make sure you turn on the option to see all files. The Outlook Express files will have the file extension .dbx. If you have trouble locating them from our directions, search for *.dbx and you'll find them.
