- How do I recover some Outlook Express .dbx folders?
- Posted by Bob Weber on January 2nd, 2006
Reinstalled Windows XP Home/SP2 and need to restore some of my old .dbx
folders. I tried to copy them into the Outlook folder at:
Documents and Settings
myUserName
Application Data
Identities
{25A34D47-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx}
Microsoft
Outlook
but of course that doesn't work. I need some of those folders back. Any
chance to import them or recover somehow???

Yes, there is. The boys in the Outlook Express will tell you -
repost there.

Bob,
before you copy the folders, you would first have to create new
ones with the same name, then copy the real ones over the empty
ones. But the import method mentioned in the previous message
does it just as well.
