LOST EMAIL

Long story short........always used Outlook Express. Computer crashed today.
Bought new PC with Windows Vista. Saw where OE had been replaced by Windows
Mail. Had OVER 100 read emails that I still need to print and reply too PLUS
TONS of important emails and drafts in folders on old machine in Outlook
Express. HOW CAN I RETRIEVE THESE through Windows Email. PLEASE HELP!
Thanks in advance

Re: LOST EMAIL

Do you have a backup copy of your OE messages?
If not, is the old machine able to run well enough so you can copy files
from it? If not, can you install its hard drive as a second hard drive on
your new computer?

Re: LOST EMAIL

See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx

If the hard drive failed on the old computer and you don't have backups then
you are out of luck.
