If you didn't back them up, and you can't access the old hard drive, then they are gone. They are certainly not on a new machine.

For the future, I would backup OE daily, and copy the folder you create for the backup to CD or a flash drive at least once a week, or whenever you add something important.

This freeware tool backs up everything in OE in seconds. Disregard what is written in red. That is referring to a different program.

My computer crashed and I had folders with emails saved using Outlook
Express. The old computer is not longer available and I would like to know
if it possible to retrieve the old emails?
