How do you back up your saved mail in Outlook Express?


Recommended Posts

Sorry for this simple question but I've never found a way to back up any mail that I've needed to keep.

Is there a way to save it to a file so that one can back it up?

Cheers

have a look at File -> Export -> Messages.

alternatively you can decide which directory to hold your message store and then just zip that up [as long as OE is not running]

HTH :cool:

You can also look for the DB files (or was it DBX?) on your computer. That's how I did it when I got a new computer ones. It's a lot easier but you have to do a certain trick to make it show up on the the comp's OE.
