In OE, click Tools -- Options -- Maintenance tab -- then Store folder button to see the path to the folder currently being used for your message store. It will probably be C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to this location. Copy the Folders.dbx file and all <mail folder>.dbx files to your backup device. It is not necessary to copy any <newsgroup>.dbx files because OE will not import newsgroup messages, only messages in mail folders. NOTE: You must include Folders.dbx in your backup or you will be unable to import the mail folders on a restore! -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
