Windows 64 Vista Mail Files

Thor Lane · Sep 9, 2009

I have a blown OS and need to reinstall. I intend to salvage my email files. I have copied the \Windows Mail folder and all subfolders to a data stick with the intent of getting these back onto the newly installed OS. Is this a catchall folder that will include email attachments as well, or are there other folders/files in other locations I need to grab before wiping the system??

Thank you for any help, folks!!!!

The default hidden system folder location where Windows Mail store the messages at is:

C:\users\(your user name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders

To backup everything (Accounts, Message Rules, and All Settings) in Windows Mail, then see the How to Backup and Reset Windows Mail section here: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/62560-windows-mail-problems.html

Thx to vistaX64 tutorials for these docs.
