Ok - what Operating System?
For XP its:
C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXX\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\
Should be an outlook and outlook express folder

If you believe you're not crazy, whilst everybody is telling you, you are - then they are definitely wrong!

Hiya Andy,
You need to copy all the files in:
C:\Documents and settings\xxxx\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\
There should be a load of .dbx files in the Outlook Express folder buried under that tree
Also, go into Outlook and export your address book:
File\export\address book (use CSV)
Also, export your mail settings just in case:
Tools\accounts\select mail tab\export
This will give you an .iaf file
On new pc, copy all contents of outlook express folder into your new HDD, import your address book and it should be fine.
