where does 'outlook express' store emails?

[vlc]

as i cant find the folder it puts them in, as on my 'c' drive.

they must go somewhere after being downloaded via popmail-to-PC.

Search for .dbx files. Usually under C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Identities......

Goto tools / options / maintenance and click on "store folder"

Nasty piece of software... move to the full version of Outlook

You will need to turn on 'View Hidden Files' first since the Local Settings folder is a hidden one.

In Windows Explorer, Tools > Folder Options > View

Check the box: Show Hidden Files And Folders

Is there a way to have 2 different email accounts coming into the full version of Outlook ie from [e-mail] and [e-mail]

Vlc if you persist with Outloof express then would recommend downloading back up software from www.outlook-express-backup.com/

Just add the second email account in the same way you did for the first.

Unless you're using Exchange and MAPI, in which case you're screwed...

Why - use exchange native for the first one, exchange IMAP for the others.

Scooby, as the others have said, just add a new account TOOLS -> EMAIL ACCOUNTS

You're probably using a POP3 account (webmail) so shouldn't experience any issues...

Quite right, unless you want to check other's free/busy schedule, use forms in public folders, setup rules etc etc. Imap would be a cludge.

Pah. Pine. Puts all sort of s**t in emails.

Elm is the only true email client, and I'm not listening to anyone else that says otherwise....

la la la la... not listening....

But if you want to do that, the two domains should be linked properly at the exchange server level, which is a piece of piddly do do if you know what you are doing.

I love the way some people blame a client for things that should be done at the server layer....
