Sort of storage related

[Bozo]

My primary hard drive with XP installed has been pretty well hosed. I would like to copy my mail to the secondary hard drive and then format the primary and install clean. Trouble is, I cannot find where mail is stored in XP. I found 'Favorites' and the 'Addresses', but not the mail.
Does anyone know where it's at and can it be copied to another hard drive to be installed later??

Thanks,

Bozo :mrgrn:

Since you didn't mention the email client, I'll assume it's Outlook Express. It's stored under Document and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Identities/a long number/Microsoft/Outlook Express.

I keep my mail in d:/my documents, along with important stuff. That way when my OS freaks out I can do a clean install and not worry about loosing anything I want to keep.

Thanks for the help. Now it's time to format and reinstall.

NOTE: If you have kids, don't let them install Yahoo or AOL crap.
