OE does not use .pst files for a normal user at home...
Look in OE for the "store" folder it is using now,
tools/options/maintenance
(just so you know where it is), and then search the
HD for "all" .dbx files... Those will likely have slightly
older dates, and be the ones he needs to use...
If you do not find any, he is hosed...
You can't just move them since they generally need to be
imported to set up certain "hooks and/or links"...
Plus (if just moved) you would loose all very recent mail,
the stuff he has now, (unless he is saving on the server, and
can re-sync with that...)
