Hi Planenuts,

What email client are you using? Outlook Express? Check here for instructions. Hope that helps.

Thanks,

That does help. Just out of curiosity what sub folder are they in and what is the file extension? I use Outlook Express.

The files are located in the Store Folder (described here) and are .PST files.

Outlook Express E-Mails ? They are stored in .dbx files.

Wow, I just got over a serious case of brain fade. It does help when you SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS. Some days you get the bear, some days the bear gets you. Guess which kind of day I am having.

Thanks guys.

Yep, my mistake, I was thinking of another format.
