Outlook express is the one he uses.

Outlook Express saves each folder in your email as a single compressed .dbx file .
C:\Documents and Settings\your account name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{big long number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express in XP/2k


C:\Documents and Settings\User name \Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book XP/2k

He may need to do a search for the dbx files, possibly.
