Nope, that is more like the /var/spool/mqueue directory on Unix (assuming
you are running Sendmail).
Exchange keeps all mail (and other objects) in a special database called
the "Information Store". The files are, by default, kept in the directory:
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\
A number of different files and formats exist in that directory -- private
and public ESE database files, private and public STM database files,
database transaction journals (logs), and maybe one or two other things.
Those files are like nuclear fuel -- they can be very powerful, but one
should not screw around with them. :-)
