How do I get my outlook emails back

>>Enter the username Administrator
This won't require a password, right?

if you dont have password then yes no pass required

Excellent Houssam.

Thanks for your very quick response

Merete, my apologies, I was not sure whether I was using OUtlook or Outlook Express.  Having checked it it is Express I am using.

Houssam , I tried your solution.  All went well except these steps

- At the point of exporting mail I was not asked a location, it simply said that mail will be exported to Outlook and Exchange, blah blah! I okeyed that.
- At the point of imorting mail I was presented with a long list to select from.  Obvious choices were Exchange, Outlook and Outlook  Express. EXchange comes up with some error, can't remember.  Something like "Can't export MAPI based mail blah blah".  I tried Outlook and Outlook  Express.  I get a location selector where textbox cannot cannot be typed in and on selecting browse I am not sure what location I am looking for.  I attempted to loo at the location that was already in the text (not editable) but somehow a folder Local Setting is hidden in the folder browser.  This folder is visible in the normal windows explorer

What is your advice?

when you chose export
Export them: .pst

But I wasn't asked.  Is there something I am missing?

Using outlook 2007::
press File > IMport & export ->Export to afile -> Chose Personal Folder File (.pst)
...... then continue the wizard

I think I am using Outlook 2000.  I am not sure I saw export to file but I will have to check it tonight.  I am at work again

Thanks

Righto,

I am causingh a lot on confusion with Outlook and Outlook express.  I am using Outlook Express.  I also happen to have Office 200 on my PC and so I fired Outlook, asked it to export file from Express.  It did but it only contains mail only for my current user not that of administrator.  Trying to login as admin and see!!

H

Goodo :)
 the DBX   you can copy these out to the desktop folder save to disc or copy to slave drive
on XP  replace the name with your user account
C:\Documents and Settings\Merete\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{09872EB4-8A97-4D8A-BD89-037CDB82F6AC}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

OK.  I ma happy now.  Got all my mail.  I logged in as admin and fired outlook.  Exported pst.  Logged out and logged in as my user fired outlook and imported pst.  All is good and I stopped using Express :-)  Thank you all for your input
