Long story short… Laptop and HD fried without proper backup. Sent out HD for recovery and I now I have the contents of:
C:\Users\Leon\AppData\Roaming\eM Client
I downloaded and installed Version 6.0.24432 and was surprised to NOT find a similar directory. I am desperate to retrieve my contacts from the old database. I believe it was saved. I see some dat files which, when dumping in hex/ascii I can tell have the contacts I want.
It would be terrific if someone has an idea on how I might accomplish this. I don’t have the old client.
Is the directory you do not find “appdata”? Do you know that appdata is a hidden directory? What version of Windows are you using?
Hi Leon,
AppData is a hidden folder by default. If you paste the whole location into the File Explorer, you will access the new database.
Just copy the whole folder there and eM Client will load from the older database.
Regards,
Olivia

Thanks Norman and Olivia, LOL, I didn’t realize it was a hidden folder. I made my old one visible by default many years ago and forgot!

Hi,
Now that I’ve done that, every time I reboot my PC and every time I try to access EM, it starts a database check on mail-fti.dat and then shuts down with an EM Client Application Error. I really like EM but it doesn’t seem to want to work for me!
The following is the text of the dump data:
eM Client (6.0.24432.0)Windows: Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0, Framework: 4.0.30319.34209
