finding email address

I had vista installed on computer and decided to go back to xp, so I installed xp operating system on another hard drive and I want to know where i can find email addresses on the hard drive that has vista on it?? I can access it while using xp.

 

okay 1 things are you using an email client? Example Outlook express..

 

Yes outlook Express.

 

Okay
Now I remember the other thing I was going to ask you?
Do you have 2 hard drives on one pc? I believe that Outlook Express has export program that you can export your contact list that should be readable in various formats..

 

2 Drives on 1 pc. I cant get onto my vista operating system. I can just see the folders on the drive.

 

okay Have you tied to import the Address book into Outlook express? If the address book file is a .wab File you should be able to import from the file location in the vista's hard drive if u know the location and all that... if not then it might get a little more complicted...

 

How do I find where the files will be?? I did a search for *.wab files and found nothing. Thanks for your help so far!!

 

so 1 hd has vista on it and the other has xp? i dont think youll be able to get files off 1 os and put them on another without doing some transferring on to some removable media like flash drives or something. i could be wrong though.

 

Okay you searched the Vista Hard drive for .wab files correct? Can u look into the Vista in ?: (whichever your Drive Vista on) windows\programs \ Microsoft outlook express. From there should be something that might be able to help you

 

I'm still looking into this but a quick check indicates that Vista uses Microsoft Mail a rebranding of OE. Check Vista Drive Letter:/Users/(MyName)/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Mail/Local Folders and look for some sort of Contact List.

If you see a Contact List is it plain text?

 

Thank you Sach2 for seeing what I was for what I trying to tell danjotom
