Outlook Express Repair

All of your OE mail folders and messages are stored in one folder called the store root, or store root folder, or store folder, and in at least one place in OE, the Store root directory. It’s default location is

C:\Windows\Application Data\Outlook Express\{GUID}
or
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{GUID}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

where {GUID} is the Global Unique IDentifier (technical jargon for a unique long number) used to specify an Identity. Depending on your operating system and upgrade history, your store folder might be located elsewhere.

To determine the location of your store, click Tools| Options| Maintenance| Store folder.
