FILE - IMPORT AND EXPORT - EXPORT TO A FILE - PERSONAL FOLDER FILE (.PST) - From there choose what folders and the like you want in your backup and you're good to go

The way i do it with Outlook express is just load up windows explorer and search for inbox.dbx and so on...

Why the hell they didnt build an export feature into the program is BEYOND me.

Please dont cross post threads like this, you posted this in Operating Systems as well however never posted it in "Software Applications Programming" where it really belongs.

so if i choose export.. it only allows me to choose one folder at the top and the subfolders.. what if i wnat to do contacts, that means i'll have a PST for every main category? How bout the calendars and contacts backup? thx again..

yeah... just search for the dbx or the mmf files...
i think.

i did it once. all i did was save those files on a disk and put it back in after i had reformatted my stuff.

Choose "Personal Folders" and check the "Include Subfolders" option and everything should be included in the PST file that you create
