Re: Cannot find mail stored on my hardrive

I am using MSN version 9.2 for email and internet.
I have MSN premium as part of my Verizon FIOS conection.
I am running Windows XP
Verizon says they cannot help me.
I used to have all of my emails stored on the web based server, but I had so
many emails stored it took forever to start my MSN. Also, I was afraid that
my estranged wife would pull the plug on the Verizon DSL service I have at my
house (I don't live there anymore since we separated).
I transferred all of the emails to my PC in May of this year. I have over
1,500 emails that pertain to the divorce that I need to find. Unforunately,
my roomate (while surfing porn no doubt) infected my computer. I tried
several steps to save my information and was unsuccessful. I took my
computer to a local repair shop and they couldn't remove the virus either.
They backed up my entire hard drive onto one of my Personal Media Hard drives
(300 gig HP product). I have been able to transfer just about all of my
important data that is on the Personal Media Drive, with the exception of the
emails I moved in May from the MSN server to my computer.
From what I have been able to research, these files are currently stored in
the following location:
L:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\MSN\DB
"L" is my personal Media Drive
Also, according to what I have found out regarding file extensions, the
files are a SDF designation. I have moved this file to my C drive, as well
as a folder that is named "Mail (t_reidy@xxxxxxx). The SDF file extension
has 45,028 KB of information. In the MSN (t_reidy@xxxxxxx) folder there are
text files noting the importing and exporting of these files and the
quantities of emails in each of the folders I had when this was done.
I would like to get these emails moved back into the folders that were on my
MSN mail, but stored on my PC. I bought the Personal Media Drive to record
movies, but before I can erase it I need to confirm that I have these emails.
I also need to have these emails as I approach my divorce hearing.
I am not sure there is anymore information I can give you. However, if you
think of something post a reply to this and I will get you the answers asap.
Thanks,

What mail program were you using?

If you were using the web based MSN, the message should still be on the
MSN server and there's nothing you need to do.

Even if you were using Outlook Express with HTTP access to MSN, the
messages should still be on the server. All you need to do is set up
the account in Outlook Express.

If you were using Outlook Express with POP3 access to the server, then

My roomate infected my computer with a virus. I had my hardrive
backed up
and reloaded my operating system. I can't figure out how to import
these
emails from the backed up hardrive to the reloaded hardrive and put
them back
in the folders on my MSN. Any ideas?
