If you have a backup see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 if its for Outlook
Express. If its for Outlook you need the pst file and Outlook has to be
installed on the computer.

The files in OE and OL were stored locally on the now deceased hard drive.

If by chance on of the accounts was an Http account(msn or hotmail only) and in use on either application then separate files(OE) or a file(OL) were created on the dead drive for the http account. Only the files residing on the server(hotmail) would be available.. If an http account viewing in the web interface(hotmail.com) or setting up the same http account on another computer in OE or OL should yield a synchronization between the server and the newly setup OE or OL account.

Because Hotmail messages are stored on a server and when you download your
POP3 messages they are then removed from the server and stored on your hard
drive, which is now dead.

Next time backup your important data, as hard drives fail all the time.

OK, I got the hard drive working again and backed up the files on a CD. How
can I get them loaded onto my OE in a new computer now?

Hopefully, you included Folders.dbx. The import will fail if it is absent.

Copy the CD to your HDD. Open the folder and Select All to highlight all the
dbx files. Right click and remove the Read Only attribute.

In OE: File | Import | Messages. Select Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and
Import from an OE6 Store Directory and point to where you saved it.

If you did not include Folders.dbx in your backup, the import process will
not work and you will have to do each folder manually.

See the last paragraph under Outlook Express and the link within to restore
individual dbx files:

So the new power supply fried the mother board in the old computer but both
the hard drives are usable so I mount them in the new computer one at a time
as it only has one available slot/power cable/IDE data cable and search for
*.dbx but no joy so...where's the dbx? Or, is it called something else?
