Is there a good Outlook Express backup program out there...free would be nice!!

[stockjock]

Tilte says it all. I'm getting ready to do a fresh install of my XP Pro. I have a program call Express Assist that is great..but guess what, I've lost my CD key and can't load it anymore. So, does anyone know of a free email backup program.

Thanks

What is it you want to backup? Addresses? Folders and Emails? All of those can be done without the aid of any software.

to answer your question..yes..all those..but I got my Express Assist to work...the nice people who make it emailed me my CD Key

Tis just as easy to copy the Applications Data, Favorites, and Cookie folders into an archive (WinRAR/WinACE).

can't you just copy all the .dbx files (Tools --> Options --> Maintenance Tab --> Store Folder button to find location of .dbx files) to the new computer?

then theres always the friendly menu item "Export mailbox, etc..." in the Outlook Express menubar...

OK..OK..I get it..I'm dumb...didn't know you could do those things...thanks for all the input and I will do my homework a little better next time...LOL...thanks again for the help guys.

or you can change the folder OE stores all that info in - to a partition you won't wipe clean & then just change it again after you've re-installed

There is an excellent program that I use called e-Backup. It's shareware, though it doesn't timeout. You can get it here.
