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.

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.
