Make sure that person your talking about knows what you mean, outlook express is an email program not a backup program. There is a MS Backup that you can use, I think you have to install it from the XP CD as it doesnt come on a standard build.

maybe they just exported your emails from outlook express itself.
if they did that just open up outlook express, got to the tab file and then choose import.

Well thats only going to import your old emails and setting associated with Outlook, any of your other files, such as MP3's pictures etc you saved on your hard drive cant be restored using that. Are you trying to restore ALL your saved files or just your email files? The way I read it was your trying to put everything back you wanted to save, not just email.
