Location and name of Microsoft Mail folder


I have lost a Microsoft Mail folder. (I'm running Vista.) I have
off-line backup, so I can restore the folder if I knew the location and
name of the file or files that contain the folder.

Does anyone know how to determine the location and name of the file or
files that contain the folder?

Re: Location and name of Microsoft Mail folder

To see your storage location,
Open Windows Mail,
go to Tools - Options - Advanced - Maintenance - Store Folder

It's normally C:\Users\<yourlogin>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail

\Appdata is normally hidden

Email messages are stored as individual .eml files.

Contacts are stored in C:\Users\<yourlogin>\Contacts
