Try finding the raw data files under progra~1. They should be there unless
purged by the user. Outlook Express is not a part of office, whereas Outlook
actually /is/. It needs importing onto Outlook, I imagine. Recommend
Thunderbird: Open formats, easily exportable and unaffected by opaque
upgrades.
Best wishes,
