    Where are my Outlook Express Files Stored?
    ANSWER

    Make sure show hidden files is enabled under Windows Explorer under Tools->Folder Options->Views->Show Hidden Files and Folders

    The DBX files that Outlook Express uses are located in:

    c:\ (or whatever drive windows resides on)
    Documents and Settings
    Username (your username)
    Application Data
    Identities
    GUID Identifier (random string like {3B0FA092-2222-1111-A1B2-111A1AA1AAA11}
    Microsoft
    Outlook Express

    I also found that when I drilled down through the folders I came to a blank wall. After the identity string there were no more folders or files.

    Yesterday (18/9/7) I found all of my inbox folders had disappeared. The rest of OE was OK. I followed the MS procedure (File-Import-Messages-MS Outlook Express 6-Import mail-Location of Messages (which was in C drive as a GUID number) and I received the following "No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open.
    Then I located an individual (missing) folder, which was a .dbx file. I could not open this file. Advice in this site says that if you find a file, it will be .bak, but all I can find are .dbx.
    Can anyone advise?

    I found this very useful, I had a file stuck in my outbox which would not send & would not delete, after reading your information I tried to get into the out box to delete.No avail, However after reading some of the comments, I did a search for dbx files & there it was. dragged the out box into recycle bin. Problem solved. PS I am a novice

    This got me in the right direction. Except mine were in C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name here)\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities

    Then because I have multiple email addresses I had several files that look like this

    {CEC9FD04-B26F-4CAD-9184-2A9GBB45698BA}

    Click on the file, then click on

    Microsoft

    then Outlook Express

    then there were a bunch of dbx files.

    Sent items, inbox etc.

    What I did was copy these files to my new pc in the same location as on the old computer and bam! there they are.

    I found .dbx files in 2 different places, but in the 1st case they match folder names, not individual emails. Where can I find individual emails?

    At D:\outlook message store, all the dbx files I see are the folders I created.

    In the location below I found the following files:

    folders.dbx, drafts.dbx, inbox.dbx, sent items.dbx, etc:

    C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\a long string starting with {972ADE0F-1D10...\Microsoft\Outlook Express

    Hey! I managed to be able to see email message files without being logged on as the person whose emails I was trying see. This was important because I was trying to restore the message files from my old computer which used a different user name.

    What I did was to go into OE and change my email message store location to the location I wanted to recover from. When I did that, I was able to see the additional folders and files. I then moved them manually to my current location and informed OE I wanted to switch back to that location. It was necessary for me to close/open OE at times to pick up the change.

    To change the message store location go to Tools ==> Options ==> Maintenance and click on the "Store Folder" button.

    One thing I noticed is that the files in question only appeared when I was signed on as the user who's document structure I was trying to view.

    Now I have a related question. Where are the Address Book (.wab) files located?

    Nevermind about the location of .wab files. I found the location of these by opening my address book and clicking on "Help" and "About Address Book". Unlike the message files, I was able to see these for all users.

    Can anyone explain why I can't see files that belong to another user?

    Thanks for all the thoughts. I have XP media version, can't unhide the identities folder no matter what I try, and I've tried all the tricks stated here.

    The GUID folders are showing, but nothing underneath them is showing up, and it is really frustrating.

    Anybody got any other ideas??

    Bill's instructions worked for me - i.e. 'Inbox / properties giving the path to the dbx files'

    The above answer is HOPELESSLY WRONG! Because you have to go to the "Local Settings" folder, THEN the "Application Data" folder to find the DBX files.

    What Bill said is the best answer.

    In Outlook Express right click on Inbox, select Properties, this will give you the path to inbox.dbx, for instance: C:\Documents and Settings\Your name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{*******-*****-****-****-************}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Inbox.dbx. OK. Now copy this path, WITHOUT “inbox.dbx” into the address bar of Windows Explorer, and press ENTER

    It works for me.

    The above instructions are erroneous for XP Pro with SP2, possibly for all XP -
    The 4th step is missing (CAPITALIZED BELOW). The correct sequence is:
    c:\ (or whatever drive windows resides on),
    Documents and Settings,
    Username (your username),
    LOCAL SETTINGS,
    Application Data,
    Identities,
    GUID Identifier (random string like {3B0FA092-2222-1111-A1B2-111A1AA1AAA11},
    Microsoft,
    Outlook Express

    ACETEK ... thank you for writing. I've been searching for a week for a way to work with my .dbx folders. Have Windows XP, had already set hidden folders to visible, still couldn't access .dbx folders in Explorer. Did as you suggested, changed properties for Local Settings, and it worked. This worked. THANKS for mentioning this.

    On this Windows XP computer, it was

    C:/Documents and Settings/admin/Local Settings/Application Datas/Identities/[number]/Microsoft/Outlook

    FOR XP - IT IS IN THE 'LOCAL SETTINGS' folder, which is a hidden folder until you unhide it.

    I just did same thing.. tracked down location of Outlook Express (.dbx) files on my new WIN XP machine so I could copy over the large ones on my Windows 2000 PC. I could not see the entire path until I went into Win Explorer and in TOOLS- FOLDER OPTIONS- VIEW and changed it to let me see system files. Then you can see the full path that shows up when you serach for *.dbx files.

    This information is accurate for Win 98 (and earlier?) but not for Win XP, which has the files/folders indicated but for some %$*&ing reason does not display them, even when you check/uncheck all the "display hidden items" options. Any further info on XP would be most welcome!

    Directions were very clear and easy to follow, but when I got there, there was no "there" there.

    Once i found the v. long unique identifier number, there were no sub-directories or files underneath it.
