Those wont work because when I run OE from the E: drive it doesnt see any messeges or addy book.

I need to know where the files in the folders are. So I can drag and drop from E: to C:

Outlook Address Book files have the .wab extension. Do a search for that file type and it should help. I'm still looking for the message extension.

If you look under c:/windows/applicationdata/identities/long string of numbers like 6c176020-cda5-ty67 yada yada/ microsoft/outlook express you will see your email folders with their .dbx extensions. (or of course you could search for *.dbx)

Those are the ones to drag over. (and to backup etc)
