Can anyone tell me where windoze xp puts its sent and received posts please.


Yes:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\<identity>\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Local Settings is a hidden folder, so you'll need to go into My Computer and then Tools | Folder Options | View, and turn on Show Hidden Files and turn off Hid Protected OS files.

The address book is in

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

I'm not sure why the OE files and the address book are not in folders with more similar paths.

Me neither :-(

I have all the above info written down on a piece of paper somewhere, but as I have just started to reorganize it all, my son comes up with the question of where is it? Hence my question on here.

Many thanks for that, I'll phone him up now.
