Backing up Outlook Express

[old.blackcow]

I have to format a.s.a.p. but it is vital that my emails are kept in outlook express.

Is there a way to back them all up easily ?

Not important, i could just forward them all to a dummy acct.

im running outlook express 6.00.2600.blahblahblah on winxp

thanks in advance

Yes, there is an entry in the options that tells you your current OE directory, in fact it can be changed I have moved mine onto another partition to reduce fragmentation and for easy backup and I do that regularly.

The menu option escapes me at the moment, I'll look it up when I get home.

Click Tools, then Option, then go to the Maintenence tab and there's a button there called Store Folder.

I always export to a PST file and then import after reinstall.
