Stored folder in computer:
--------------------------
Open Outlook express
go to tools --> options ---> Maintainence
Click on Store folder and you can see the path there
Generally it would be in
"C:\Documents and Settings\< user-name> \Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{2E97D07A-
But if you had changed then it is better to see in that store folder path
Here "Local settings" is a hidden folder ..
