OK, so I found Outlook Express, but it only had two messages in the inbox
(that I exported) and nothing in the other folders. As I said, I had managed
to import the address book by using the File -> Import and Export... command
in Outlook, but this had not imported any messages. I am pretty sure that
Outlook Express was full of them when I was closing it yesterday. Any idea
where they might be hiding now?
