Re: outlook express - need help recovering messages

[Aaron Willems]

You can't change the name of the identity. You need to put the name back exactly the way it was before. You need to make sure that the identity is under Microsoft User Data and that the Microsoft User Data Folder is under the documents folder. Then it should work. Sorry, it's a Microsoft thing.

Hoping that this is an easy one...

I'm trying to recover an Outlook Express 5 "Messages" document that I saved
from our powerbook before the HD had to be wiped. I saved the entire "Main
Identity" file under "Identities" (in Microsoft User Data file). The PB had
OS 9.2.2.

I then just stuck the entire Identity file in the Identities file on our G4
(OS 9.2.2), gave the Identity a different name (not Main), and then open OE
5.
