Backing up emails in Outlook Express.

[tbourner]

How do you do it?

 

Everything I can find is for Outlook, but I only have Outlook Express.

File > Export > Messages

should be pretty much the same dude,

 

FILE,

 

IMPORT&EXPORT.

 

Export to File,

 

Personal Folder File (.pst File)

 

select all folders

 

Choose pst file destination and hey presto!

Or if you just want to do a simple backup, just open up tools -> options -> maintenance tab and click 'Store Folder'

 

copy that location into the clipboard and enter it under Start -> Run (to open up that folder).

 

with OE closed, just copy all those files. This is the method I use for transferring OE from an old computer to a new one.

The Export option just says to export all emails to Outlook, I don't want them in Outlook I just want them backed up!!

 

I'll have a go at the folder copy when I get in.

 

My PC's been used everyday for boring stuff for about 2 years and I just know it's gonna go blue screen at some point so I'm gonna try and back up some stuff.
