My friend disconnected his computer from work and brought
it home. Without logging on, he opened Outlook Express and
tried to find his mail but an old inbox is the only thing
available. Does he have to be logged on to his ISP to
access his inbox or is it stored on his hard drive
somewhere? He's running Win98 with Outlook Express 5
(maybe). I found an inbox on his hard drive but he swears
it is an older one and not the latest.
