Is it difficult to back-up your Emails? (Outlook Express)

TheGeneral+ · Apr 26, 2005

Onto a CD maybe where they can be downloaded back to your PC after a re-format. How does this work? XP home edition.

Thanks

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{124213diaf-KJSFHKJHlkJSFKJ}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

note: those numbers and letters after 'Identities' will be different on your PC

Open that folder and then you can copy the DBX files like Inbox (and whatever other subfolders you have created) onto your CD.

Then just copy those files back into the same folder on the PC after you reinstall everything.
