February 28, 2008 – 8:19 am

It is useful to know that Outlook Express stores its email files in a location such as the following:

Windows 95 or Windows 98

%drive%WindowsApplication DataMicrosoftOutlook Express

Where Windows is the folder in which Windows 95 or Windows 98 is installed. 

Windows NT, and Windows 95 or Windows 98 with user profiles enabled

%drive%WindowsProfilesUsernameApplication DataMicrosoftOutlook Express

Where Windows is the folder in which Windows is installed, and Username is the name you use to log on to Windows. 

Windows 2000, XP and 2003

%drive%Documents & Settings<User Name>Local SettingsApplication DataIdentities {UID}

Even if you are not able to locate the default path or would like to change the store path for your DBX files, follow this procedure

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. Click the Maintenance tab, and then click Store Folder (Here you can locate the default store path of your DBX files in Outlook Express). 
  3. Click Change, specify the folder that you want to use to store your messages, and then click OK.
