Where is Outlook Express mail stored?

[cahillwp]

Hi All,

I have a question about where Outlook Express stores all of it's email messages. I have a computer that died but I have full access to the hard drive via SATA to USB adapter. I am hoping to find a way to export the messages that were stored in Outlook Express. Is there an easy way to do this without being able to run in that operating system?

The messages are all stored in what's called the store folder which is located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{random numbers and letters}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Local settings is a hidden folder, so make sure you have hidden files and folders set to show.
