Hi David,

You stated that you had 'reinstalled' everything. By that I'm assuming you
had XP Pro before and your backup is from that installation. For the Outlook
Express (OE) folders, open OE and go to Tools \ Options \ Maintenance tab
and click on the "Store Folder..." button, a small window appears showing
you the path to where it is. If you didn't move it in the previous
installation, it will be in the same location.

If the previous installation was Win9x, the default location is C:\ Windows
\ Application Data \ Identities \ {series of letters and numbers for your
identity}\ Microsoft \ Outlook Express.

The location of the Address Book is the same for both Win9x and XP: C:\
Program Files \ Outlook Express \ wab.exe.

I'm not familiar Mozilla but I'm sure someone who is can help you with it.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Where do Outlook Express and Mozilla store their Inbox and
Address Book files?


Does anyone know where Outlook Express and Mozilla store their Inbox and
Address Book files and what they are named?

I recently upgraded to a new motherboard and hard drives and reinstalled
everything from scratch -- Windows XP Pro plus most of the usual
applications.

I had saved a backup image on an external hard drive, and a clone on
another internal hard drive, and would like to recover my address book
names and recent emails.  I just can't find them.

Any ideas.
