| 234873 | 2004-05-07 00:26:00 | Gidday, I'm hoping to find some outlook express gurus! A friend had to reformat her hard drive recently, so she backed up her inbox and all the other folders containing her archived emails (she found them in Windows/OutlookExpress/ApplicationData/gobbledygook)/Identities/ When the hard drive was ready, she moved them all from the CD RW she had backed them up on, back to the same folder. She can now see her Inbox and all her unarchived emails as they should be, but all her archived folders are not accessible from the application's dialogue box. Does anyone know how to make them appear again? Any help appreciated. Joe Davies |
