Lost PBEM ema files

[dpabrams]

Started my first PBEM game and I cannot find the ema files in the Outgoing or Incoming game folders in the CMSF directory. I have gone so far to search by the individual file name and nothing. Any ideas?

Are you using Windows 7 or Windows Vista? If yes, have you looked in your AppData folder?

I have Windows 7 and I am looking in the AppData folder but so far no go.

Just be be sure, have you looked in this path (note that you might need to change the name of the drive and the UserName)

C:\UserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Battlefront\Combat Mission Shock Force\

Game Files\Outgoing Email\

Awesome, thanks so much for the help. I found it. Seems an aweful lot to go through to find it.

This is happening because the account you're using does not have write rights to the normal Outgoing mail folder. To avoid this hassle you can change the properties of the incoming and outgoing mail folders so that your user account has read and write access to them.
