Dear Amar,
All messages & user folders created in Outlook Express are saved in a single
folder as dbx files. Taking a backup of this folder should enable you to
restore the messages after formatting your hard disk.
In order to find the location of this folder, go to Options under Tools menu
in Outlook Express. Press CTRL + Tab till you land on the Maintenance tab.
Navigate through this page till you come to the Store Folder option.
Pressing Enter on this option will land you in an edit field displaying the
default storage location of your mails. Take a backup of the folder at this
location & restore it after formatting the hard disk.
Please note that the above procedure will not save your message rules or
your address book. These will have to be backed up separately.

Subject: [AI] Saving outlook express messages for restoration
afterformatting computer?
Subject says all, I wish to save my outlook express messages of Inbox, so
that when I have done with formatting computer, I can restore it.
I tried export option, but it says that it will be exported to microsoft
outlook or microsoft exchange followed with ok button. So that's not the
correct option I guess.
So how to go about it?
Regards
Amar Jain
