By default, messages are stored at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders\ The Contacts are stored at: C:\Users\username\Contacts\ -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Traveldog" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:9e1813ddb20fc9b82bbe0f5af433011f@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

| Vista home 32 | Re: Computer crashes...where do I find Win mail messages and contacts on HD? Thanks Gary, I took the computer to a repair shop and they had the HD hooked up to another computer...my mother board apparently is shot. But, this helps me see where I can access my contacts and messages and get them transfered to a new laptop. Thanks again, Traveldog |
