[QUOTE="Badger, post: 27903"] Unless you moved it your e-mail is stored in the indentities folder inside the Outlook Express folder. They are not stored as individual messages but within the database file (as mentioned above). OE 4 and 5 use the same format so there is no issue there. Use Sherlock to search your hard disk for the identities folder. If you can find the OE 4 identities folder you should be able to drag the entire folder into the OE 5 folder. When you open OE 5 it will search the database files in that folder and list all accounts available. Then you'll be able to pick up your e-mail account(s) from where you left it. If the OE 4 file has been overwritten then you may be able to get it back with a file recovery utility like Norton. Badger [/QUOTE]
