Question
Hello

Just reinstalled XP Home and got my previous ISP provider (Earthlink) messages,   not the current one E sedona in which I still have some important mail.

E sedona mail works now after I reconfigure it, but I have old Earthlink messages from 2003..  How do I get back my last Outlook Express 6.0 folders ?

Thanks a lot,  Gabe  

Answer
If you did not back them up before the reinstall they may be gone. OE stores your folders in DBX files. You might try searching your HD for *.dbx and see if you have multiple ones listed. If you do I would search the Net for a DBX utility that can manage such files.
