Mac Forum / Applications / Outlook Express / July 2004Clean OS 9 Install Lost My Email, Help!
I just did a clean install on my blue and white G3, from OS 9.1 to OS 9.2.2, and all my OE addresses, and OE email etc is MIA. These are really important to me, and I appreciate your help in advance. Forgive me if this has already been dealt with, I could not find such a posting. > I just did a clean install on my blue and white G3, from OS 9.1 to OS > 9.2.2, and all my OE addresses, and OE email etc is MIA. > These are really important to me, and I appreciate your help in > advance.

The correct pathway is usually... Mac HD:Documents:Microsoft User Data:Identities: If you search your HD for the term "Identities" and move/copy the relevant folder (probably contained within Previous System Folder) into the pathway above then you should be OK. Ricky  SignatureAll requests for support should be sent to the newsgroups only. If you do need to reply directly to me, just remove the capitalised letters from my faked e-mail address. I suggest that you do not post to these newsgroups using your real e-mail address! See Q048 on http://machelp.webhop.net/ for more details on protecting yourself from newsgroup spam. > I just did a clean install on my blue and white G3, from OS 9.1 to OS > 9.2.2, and all my OE addresses, and OE email etc is MIA. > These are really important to me, and I appreciate your help in > advance.

I called for tech help from my ATT server and ended up losing all my files and had to install everything all over. I installed Outlook Express and then lost all of my e-mails, address book, etc. HELP!!! I can only bring in e-mail through my webmail and when I try to bring in e-mail I am asked for a password which I do not have. I have had my IMAC and Outlook Express for 3 yrs. and have never needed a password previously. I am 76 yrs. old and this is all very confusing to me .... any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I have lost some very important files and all my e-mail addresses!!!!!! Gloria, I'm going through the same problem right now! If you haven't resolved your issue yet, you should be able to call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) -(AT&T?) and get your password. It is also important to make sure that your ISP confirms you have the correct user name, "incoming mail server" and "outgoing mail server" in the apple/preferences/network settings. Good Luck! If you find a way to get your addresses and old emails back please let me know!
