After being informed that my browser needed to be updated, I went ahead and downloaded and installed everything that was needed. The PROBLEM I have is that the outlook express was also updated and I lost all the mail in my folders. Now I can't seem to find where all the mail went. I don't think it deleted it. Just put it somewhere I'm not looking. Anyway, if anyboby can help me locate this information or has any ideas where the information went it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

did it change from "outlook express" to just "outlook"?

Do a search on your hard drive for .mbx and .dbx files. These need to be moved into your new Outlook Express folder, probably under:
C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR ID]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express
If that doens't work, lemme know and I'll look into the exact locations. I haven't used OE in a long time!
