Does this sound like your problem too?

My wife's motherboard just crapped out and I need to retrieve her emails and
address book from Windows Mail. This urgent as she uses the computer for her
business and it has literally several thousand email addresses, email groups,
and messages. The OS is Vista Home Premium. Where within the file structure
on her hard drive would I find those folders/files? Which folders/files am I
specifically looking for?


Maybe this is the solution?

Typically:
C:\Users\username\Contacts
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail
Tom, I think we need someone smarter than the two of us to solve this! If we keep bumping this forward, hopefully someone will come along who can help. Windows 7 is different in so many ways from Vista. I'm going to do a computer search and see what that coughs up.
