How can I back up my Outlook Express 6 emails so I can rebuild my PC?

[Latts]

In Outlook, I usually just export the inbox etc to a .pst file and then reimport when I am done, but I cant seem to do that in OE.

Can anyone help me?

Tools->options->Maintenance->Store folder->change to where ever you want


Then when you reinstall windows, do this again, expcept point it to the the same place and it'll find it and store messages there. Also, this is a nice feature for me since this will make it store everything from then on in that location so you dont have to worry about loosing it in a reformat.

Hey , that's one of the best tips I've seen in a long time. I used to manually copy them to my D drive as backup, no need to do that now.
Thanks

Thanks for that - will give it a try when I get home tonight
