I am installing a new hardrive to my Win2K pro system. The last time I did this all I had to do was copy over my Outlook Express folder and all my accounts and messages appeared in the new OE.

I just did the same thing again and all the messages and folders appeared but my accounts did not show up.

Am I missing something? Aren't the accounts in the same folder as the Inbox.dbx and other folders or are they somewhere else?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
 
After Copying all of your dbx files to a particular folder go to Outlook Express - Tools _ Options - Maintenance - Store Folder- Change the path where ur dbx files are..and restart OE..All of your messages will be back again.
