Hi, I need to know where all my incoming and outgoing outlook emails are on my hard disk. I need to copy them to an external drive using DOS and for that I need to know their location. My computer is having serious problems with Windows and I cannot use Explorer to look. Can anyone help? Thanks.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something
