Where do I find the response? I click on the link you provided and not able to open website.

Search for *.eml. steve <Tom in PA> wrote in message news:Email removed for privacy...I replaced my computer recently. Took out the hard drive and put into enclosure.

Did that and all that shows up are emails that were moved to C:The offline storage folders that are used with Window Live desktop can be found? I was able to move documents and other information, just these offline emails are lost?

The link is to the WLMail forum and it works for me. Try copying it and pasting it into your browser's address bar.Bruce Hagen ~ MS-MVP [Mail]Imperial Beach, CA

Timed out, not able to open.Are you able to provide me with an over view of my problem? It is frustrating to lose information.

That site is a little buggy at times. Try again later.I would gladly help if I could, but other than searching for *.eml like Steve suggested, I have no idea.Bruce Hagen ~ MS-MVP [Mail]Imperial Beach, CA

I had to replace the computer because a virus was preventing me from starting up. I needed a new computer anyway, so, other than this email situation, all is good. Do I need to install the hard drive and boot it up or should the files be on the drive?

The path to your store folder on the old drive should be almost identical.Bruce Hagen ~ MS-MVP [Mail]Imperial Beach, CA

I don't know.
