Missing .DBX files !!

[Sam Wonderer]

Hi. I have an intriguing problem - I want to restore my OE emails onto my new
hard disk. I have backed up my old OE .dbx files before replacing my hard
disk, have reinstalled Windows XP and recreated my OE acount on the new hard
drive. But, I can't find any .dbx files on the hard disk although I've sent
and received a few test messages - so there are msgs in the inbox, sent
folder and in a new folder. The "store folder" in tools, options points to
the old folder, which no longer exists on the new hard drive. So I don't know
where to put the old .dbx files. Any tips are welcome. Many thanks. Sam

Of course, my apologies - I misread the group and thought I was posting it on
the OE newsgroup. Thanks
