How do I keep all my Emails when I reformat?

[Forgiven]

I have outlook express and a ton of Emails I don't want to lose. I have win98SE and typical AMD kt266a rig. How and where do I save them and how do I restore them to a useable condition...THANKS:|

Very easy. Open OE and an empty folder, each taking up about half the screen. Select all your E-mails in OE and drag them directly into the folder. Then save that folder to a ZIP disk or to a CD-R/RW. When you need to restore the E-mails, repeat the steps, except drag the E-mails from the folder into OE.

Would that work the same way for bookmarks?

address book and such search for a .WAB windows address book. save that and recopy back in.

I think all the bookmarks are saved in the "Favorites" folder, just make a copy.

Good Luck,

If you go to C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express you will see your mail and address book folders. You can just make a copy and after the reinstall copy them back.

Bookmarks for IE are in C:\Windows\Favorites.
