I killed my computer - it has all my old emails on it.......HELP!!!!

[Katymac]

It's on a hard drive (which is attached to my new laptop with a USB - but somewhere on it are my emails.....where??

Can anyone help me find them

My holiday and car parking confirmation emails are lost in there somewhere...........HELP please?

do a restore from your backup disk.......

oh, you don't have one

I do have one - but unfortunatley the emails came between sunday night - when I back up and Thursday at 9:15 - when it died.....

The hard drive exists & a pal has put it in a box and attached it to my new comp.....I just can't find the emails

sorry Katy

can you contact the travel co and get them to re-send?

If they are recent could they also still be held on the server of your isp ?

What email program do you use?

I checked Liz and unfortunatley they aren't

I have phoned the parking people & got a copy - so now I just need to do the hotel

PRBT - Microsoft outlook.......

Can you search the hard drive - think outlook files will have .dbx extension

Thanks - I'll have a look

I'm not sure whether you can read them in notepad , or whether you have to import them into Outlook on your new laptop This article may help, or there may be someone else more knowledgeable along soon

Nah - I cna't make it work

Thanks for trying - I appreciate it
