My Company's OE address book is corrupted and I need to rebuild the same. i cannot go through each and every mail to extract the E-mail ID's . Is there any software that will help me to extract all ID's and sort out the same.
Thanks in advance.

Do you get some kind of error when you open your address book in OE ?

Is there any software that will help me to extract all ID's and sort out the same.

Theres so many of them, but most of them are commercial editions ( Need to pay to extract and save the addresses)

*mailutilities.com/oeeae/

This is one example.

every mail u send through outlook express get recorded in log file in window folder with name smtp.log (i do not remember the name of the log file exactly ) .
content is not logged but all the command used to send the mail by ur e-mail client to tranfer ur mail to the server gets logged which includes e-mail headers of the person sending the mail as well as the person to whom the mail is being sent.

even if u delete the mail from ur ur inbox ,the log file remains there which is a security threat also as someone can easily gain information about all the sent and recieved.

so u go though that log if they are not deleted.
