OE stores a .dbx file for each folder you have.
 
If you do a search on your data drive for files called foldername.dbx (eg. UKHA.dbx) then you'll know that the folder is still there with all the data inside, for a kickoff :-)
 
To put it back in after a reinstall.......... I seem to recall doing the following......... either change folder location (tools/options/maintenance/store folder/change) to the location were all the existing .dbx files are, which might put them back into your Outlook identity. - Make a backup copy of them first just incase.....!
 
The other method I think I've used is to identify the new store location, (tools/options/maintenance/store folder), and copy the .dbx there... if it doesn't pick it up, make a new folder called the same name, then close down OE, and replace the new .dbx with your original one.
 
Hope some of that makes sense/ helps a bit. As with all of these things, buyer beware, YMMV etc, as things might've changed since the last time I did this type of thing (6-12 months ago.....) depends on versions etc.....
 
Cheers

Help!
I have had to reinstall Outlook Express after it went tits up, now I have lost the folders with useful group postings I wanted to keep.
Anyone know if I can recover these, they were in separate folders to the default Outlook ones.
