Hard drive failed: Extract email from outlook

[Tinochelli]

Hey all,

I am hoping that someone can help with the dilemma i am facing. My HD
is on its way out and i can no longer get a successful boot i
windows(Dual Boot on different HDD's). I need to access my emails tha
are stored in Outlook on the dodgy HDD (i know that if the emails ar
damaged then i'm goosed). I can load into my other window
installation and go to the office program iles folder but i think th
emails are stored as a .dbx file or something. Its there are (free
way to get my emails out?

Thanks in advance,


Tinochell

you didn't say which o/s you are asking about but i will give you th
instructions for XP. on c:/ or the relevent drive go to documents an
settings then your profile, local settings (you have to show hidde
files and folders to see this folder) application data
microsoft\outlook. in there you will see outlook office data file an
that is where your data is stored. hope this help

Then copy the pst files to Documents on the new drive, and within Outlook,
open them

Outlook uses pst, not dbx - outlook express uses dbx.

Do you have the full Office array installed? If so, there's an email program
called Microsoft Outlook Express. I forgot how to do it now but there's a way
to archive messages from that program, and you can transfer everything from
OE to MOE. Try it.

Not sure about this but go to Microsoft Outlook (another email client) and
transfer everything to it. MSOutlook has the capability (I think) to archive
messages.

Microsoft Office does not include Outlook Express. Windows does.

Sorry to argue with you but Office has an email program named Microsoft
Office Outlook. It and Outlook Express are often confused. I guess that's
what I did.
