    Basically, I've installed a new hard drive in my laptop and I need to move my mails from the old hard drive. The problem is that I can't exactly locate the folder on the old one. Most of the search results I've gotten so far suggest to do this or something similar. This won't work though as that would only tell me the folder on the new drive, not the old one. Any ideas?

    Edit: Never mind, found it. I think.

    would really help if you said the OS of the last drive. Kind of like saying, "I have a car. It has a radio. Where's the treble control? Oh yeah, the car is blue."

    guessing XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\{username of previous account}\Application Data\Identities\{really long alphanumber code used to identify each unique user}
    C:\Documents and Settings\gf\Application Data\Identities\{43292F51-12F4-476B-9154-31C8DB74329E}

    Hey, that's cheating, there was no outlook express in Vista!

    I'll keep that in mind next time I post :thup: (which isn't very often anyway as is obvious).
