Alexander,
I'd say that's a quite an unnecessary complicated way of backing up your
messages.
What I'd do is thus. Either,
Open the message you want to save, choose Save As from the file menu and
save it as mail (EML file) to your hard drive. Then you can copy it to
another location, burn it to a CD or what have you. EML files are opened
with OE. And you don't need to restore the saved message to OE to read it,
just enter on it and it opens. You could save messages in TXT or HTML format
if you wish. The only draw back of this method , as far as I know, is that
you have to save each message individually.
Or,
Find the location of your OE Store Folder, you can do this by going into the
Tools menu, Options, Maintenance page, Tap few times to get to the Store
Folder button and click on it. Now you can go to the OE Store Folder and
backup the file that you want and you're done. All OE folders are stored
with the messages they contain in the OE Store Folder as DBX files. To
restore a DBX file, just copy it back to the OE Store Folder.
Hope that helps a little.
Amro
