    Hi,
    Thanks Pete, I have a problem though.
    I click Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\ but there is no Outlook Express folder so I am stuck. I still can't get those old emails.
    All the best
    Lewis

    Search for *.dbx files - include hidden files & folders - that should give you the location.
