Yes. No mail is in my Comcast folder because I deleted the account. But,
There is a Backup folder with a New folder and 3 files:

..log file
Mail.MSMessageStore
Mail.pat

The real problem here is in Outlook. I exported to Outlook from WLM. Then
just recently I made the Outlook Hotmail data file the default and removed
the local data file. Now the only Comcast mail I have is what was received
since I made these changes. I just want to know if removing the local data
file for my Comcast account in Outlook also permanently deleted the mail
files from my computer.

I have two email accounts: one Live and one Comcast. I set the Live one
to be the default Data file and Sender. Then I deleted the Local file.

My question is: Is the email (old mail that I imported over) that was
associated with the local data file that I removed still on my
computer? If so, where is the old mail located?

Thank you very much if you can assist me.

Thank you for your reply. I do want to store them if I can get them back
into my Inbox.

Deleting an account in Outlook or closing a data file form within Outlook does
not delete the file and, thus, its contents. You can reopen the file and the
data till be there.

And by the way...how the hell do you "reopen" a data file. All I want is the
email that was in it previous to me changing the default data file and then
deleting the local data file. If you don't understand, then you've not used
this part of Outlook enough.

You expect a response, following your sarcasm?
All data files are local, when not using exchange, so if you deleted the
wrong data file its gone, assuming you have no backups.
bye bye

I'm curious why you closed the data file if you wanted to see the data it
contained.
