FlyinNover 0 #1 April 27, 2005 So I bought a new computer and somehow lost all my old Outlook Express files. I save a lot of my emails, so I'd like to get them back. I made sure to save the ".ibx" and ".mbx" files from the old computer, but they don't work when I try to view them now. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

peacefuljeffrey 0 #2 April 27, 2005 Jeez, I hope you get a good answer for this one, because I've been through some catastrophic drive failures and was NOT able to find out where O.E. saved me emails OR my address book for backing up to a new drive or other computer. It sucked because I lost stuff I really wanted to keep. Why the hell does Microsoft make it impossible to tell where these files reside, for easy copying?! -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
