Each month I have a big clean up of my Outlook Express Folders but before doing so I archive them to a directory on a backup drive.

I haven't had a need to go back and find a specific email in one until just now and find that I don't know how.

Please tell me.

Thanks

Colin

Spotted this the other day E Recovery (pcwnl.pcworld.com), don't know how much function the demo version allows. Would be worth a look though. I also seem to remeber seeing something mentioned here about a freebie programme that can read and recover MS's proprietary email box files (ie, includes Outlook). A search of Press F1 should turn something up.

Edit: Looks like Johnboy has got it already.
