Paula,
Based on my limited knowledge of Outlook Express, I actually believe the message should have been on you old hard drive, they would just not necessarily be in the My Documents folder. They would probably be in an Outlook or Outlook Express folder.

I will check to see if there's any way to get the lessons, but I believe that they delete the lessons out of the Yahoo list at the end of the class. I'll let you know if I find out differently.
