my HD crashed and i did not have a recent enough back-up. i seem to have been able to salvage the HD by plugging it in as a USB external HD. how do i recuperate my email files - in-box, etc., and addresses? where are they located?thanks very much for your help!1 person got this answerI do too

Address Book: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\<username>.wab Mailboxes: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{Identity-GUID}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\ Note: *.wab and *.dbx files, are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options | ViewMicrosoft Security MVP, 2004 - 2010

Thanks for the pathway, I can use this. How would I go about re-installing this file back into the outlook program? Import/Export? If import which file type do I select: dbase?

Thanks Don!One follow-up question:I had multiple Outlook Express identities but am only finding one .wab account that seems to include all addresses from the multiple identities. Is there any way that I can import these into the separate identities I previously had? From past experience exporting and importing, I think not, but thought I'd ask just in case.Thanks for your ongoing help! I appreciate it very much!!
