Hi John the site is under construction but if you click on the link "Download MAF-Recovery 1.75", the download of "maf_setup.exe" starts. YXou can install it with the default settings.
Sorry, I did not remember that the program is in german only, that is quite unusual!
First, set the path for the backup File under "Programmeinstellungen" --> "Einstellungen festlegen" --> "Sicherung erfolgt im Archiv" - just leave the name for the backup file or give another --> "Pfadangabe Sicherung/Wiederherstellung" type the path to the folder, where you want your backup to be stored, this folder should not contain other files.
This basic settings are enough, then you can decide if you want to start the program automatically and if you want to keep different versions of the backup files and more.
Some quick translations:
German English
Einstellungen Settings Sichern safe Wiederherstellen restore Programmeinstellungen program settings festlegen to set (permanent) settings Daten data automatisch automatic Tag(e) day(s) Abbruch cancel auflisten list anzeigen show zurücksetzen reset Archiv archive nur only ent/verschlüsseln decrypt/encrypt temporär temporary
Maildaten messages Adressbuch adress book Favoriten favorites Registratur Windows registry
this are the four items that will be safed if you do not specify otherwise. I hope that helps and please backup your email (*.DBX) and WAB **first** before experimenting with live data.
If you still have questions, you can contact me offlist... greetings Markus

Markus, I'd like to test your recommendation, but I don't read German - would it be possible to get a translation of the menu item captions (in English, of course!) TIA

many ways,Hi Hern that programm exists already, it's called MAF "Outlook Express Backup" 1.75 and is freeware. It packs Email, Adress book and favorites in a archive automated or manually, not for Outlook but the Express versions.
Here is the link: http://jubaco.light.hl-users.com/
greetings Markus
the email program has its faults. other programs are better inbut they take a little more effort to install and make work. Microsoft has made a lot of money by appearing as the path of least resistance. i think an export program that can read and make backups of OE mail folders without OE running would solve a lot of problems.
