Vista - hard drive crashed, need to find inbox in Windows Mail

My computer crashed and I currently have my hard drive set up externally to
copy the information off of it onto another computer. I was using Windows
Mail that came with Vista on my old computer when it crashed. I've been able
to salvage my data, but would like to find my messages stored in my Inbox in
Windows Mail. I cannot open the program (Windows Mail) currently, but will
be able to open it when my new computer arrives. For now, I'm copying needed
files off my hard drive and storing them temporarily on my children's
computer. I do not know what folders from Windows Mail, or Windows perhaps,
that I need to save in order to hopefully open my saved inbox messages.

Can anyone help me??

Default location is:
C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Inbox
you will need to set hidden folders to show (if you haven't done this already) to find the AppData folder.
CNTL-panel-> Folder options -> "View" tab -> Look for "Hidden files and Folders" and select "Show hidden files and folders" -> click "OK"
then navigate to the inbox location. Good luck.

it's in
C:\Users\{Your Account Name here}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail
You may have to take ownership. See Windows Help on how to do that.
