Ok, updated a win98's IE4/outlook express to IE6/outlook express. When I did this, all of the old emails dissapeared. Does anyone know where they went and how to fix the problem?
Thanks

from usenet:

In OE got to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and see where OE
is currently storing its data files.
Now, go to Start | Find (or Search) and look for *.dbx (with Win2K and WinXP
you will have to set the search to include hidden files and folders).
If they are found in a different place go back to OE and use
File | Import | Messages.
Select Outlook Express 5 (or 6, they are the same for this purpose).
Select the lower radio button to import from an Outlook Express store
directory and navigate to the location that OE is not using.
