OK, i had to get my pc rebuilt as it was fucked. My PC man saved all my messages onto a disc as .dbx files. I really need something from the deleted items. I have set the path using maintenance & pasting the path into the run bar. I'm now on Vista & was on XP before using OE. Now this is Windows mail. Where do i put the .dbx files? I have tried all over & nothing shows in deleted items. Is ther some app i can use to open the file up to find the mail i need? It quite important to be fair. -- Nige, Honda VTR1000 SOLD!

You keep important stuff in the deleted items?

I assume by "disc" you mean CD? If so they'll be read only so make a folder on your PC and copy them there and remove the read only attribute. Then from within Windows Live goto File Import Messages Select Outlook 6 then browse to the previously created folder -- Steve Parry BMW R80RS, 03 BMW R1100S Boxercup, 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650, 87 Yamaha FS1, Sukida SK90PY, 91 Kawasaki AR50, BMW 330Ci www.gwynfryn.co.uk

Nige, Windows Mail and OE before it are the *wankest*[1] email clients in creation. For the love of god get a copy of Outlook, and a decent backup system.

I like them as i'm used to them. But all i need is one e-mail to be printed off. I'll got to the pc shop tomorrow & he can sort it ffs. -- Nige, Honda VTR1000 SOLD! BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue Aprilia RSV Mille
I cannot stand Outlook, have had to use it for work, and used to teach it when on its 97 incarnation and I found it just over featured for my requirements, i.e. all I wanted was an email client not all the groupware etc stuff. -- Steve Parry BMW R80RS, 03 BMW R1100S Boxercup, 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650, 87 Yamaha FS1, Sukida SK90PY, 91 Kawasaki AR50, BMW 330Ci www.gwynfryn.co.uk

Sorted it on an old XP machine. How odd. Ta -- Nige, Honda VTR1000 SOLD! BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue Aprilia RSV Mille
I find as a standalone its fine, the Cal and the Notes are handy (OK I dont use tasks much outside of the office), its obviously a very powerful tool, but only if you utilise it so... But its stable, and PST's can be backed up and migrated, taking all the information within them very easily. -- Gavin.

I agree, its the norm at work for windows users and I teach the newby's how to use it, as for the mac's they prefer to use mac mail NOT entourage. Alan

I never thought I'd say I'd miss outlook as an email client but I do.

<leaps to defence of old friend> The problem is that few companies make proper use of Notes. It's not _just_ mail/calendar. It's a full application environment. The mail side's not _that_ bad (but I'm used to it, and hate Outlook), but it's really only a very, very small part of what it does. The comparison really ought to be between Notes & Outlook/Sharepoint/ Access/.net-based-web-apps etc etc. Even if you look at just Exchange & Outlook, one of these days Microsoft might get near to figuring out how to do public folders in a way that actually works.
Let's pause for a moment and remember that this world even contains some people who actually _like_ Outlook Express and IE6... It's a fucking nightmare to do any kind of form customisation for them, and the distributed replication absolutely _sucks_.
I've been forced to use is since 1998-ish, the version now is loads better than then, even though it still sucks.
I have open office on this here netbook as it came installed. It appears to work and opens MS documents. I hate the Office 07 menu system.
