Look for files with the extension .mbx for the mailboxes of OE.  They can
be found in \Program Files\Outlook Express\your name\Mail

The address book will either be a file with the .wab or the .pab extension.
 Probably the .wab in Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

I am not sure about redirection, though I would suggest if you look for the
above links in the Registry you will find them there.

We only have one OE machine, and it's really not in use.  It just got
loaded because we installed IE4.0 on it.  The other machines, including
this one, use Outlook 97.  OE is a very poor client, IMHO, and is worth
what you pay for it.  Free.

Kind regards,

Subject:        OFF TOPIC: MS Outlook files

Can anybody tell me the actual file names of the Windows 98 Outlook Express
file(s) containing the mail messages, as well as the file(s) containing the
addresses?

Also, is there a way to direct Outlook Express to look for these files in
other than the default location - ie: a specified directory on a specified
drive. eg: D:\DATA\MAIL\ ?

Thanks in advance.
