Find my Mail msgs in the Windows Old

Had to format my HD and reinstalling my Vista. It created the Windows Old
with my old archives. But where are my old Windows Mail messages and folders?

Hi Wagner,

If the messages are still in the Windows.old folder, they will be
located here inside of it:

C:\users\(your user name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail

You will need to have "Show hidden files and folders" checked in Folder
Options to see the "AppData" folder.

You can then use the "Import" (File menu, Import, Messages) feature in
Windows Mail to put them back in. Just navigate to the location above
inside the Windows.old folder.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
