The title really says it all. I just need to know how to save my emails so I can reinstall but I just need to save my emails because they are important. Thank

When I do that, it export from Microsft express to Microsoft outlook? Does that sound about right? What if I want to format the whole hard drive? Can I save them to a floppy disk?

the best thing if you are using win xp is to go to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{D06C2088-6F68-417A-AAEB-0C2B0C745928}\Microsoft\Outlook Express that folder and copy all those files to a cd / floppy / zip, whatever works. for most people it probably won't fit on a floppy.

that's where outlook express stores all emails.
