Question

Where can I find my Mail Archive on my computer?

 

 
  • Windows XP

In order to find the email messages that the MSN Mail client automatically backs up, you will need to unhide all folders.

Step 1 - Unhide all files and folders

- In order to do so, go to Start and choose My Computer and select the Tool link at the top

-Go to the View tab and check the box that says "Show hidden files and folders"

Step 2 - Find your Archives

- Now you simply have to navigate to :

C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Msn\db

You will find all your email in the [db] folder, right click on the message and select either MSN Client to open them or the Notepad

  • Windows 98

In the same way, unhide all files and folders and then navigate to:

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Msn*\UserData\{********}
