-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Saving email in outlook express

Hi Don,

Was just reading on that, I googled and did a bit of research.  I did locate 
the store folder on my hard drive and selected all, right clicked and copied 
then pasted it to my floppy disk drive where I had a floppy disk inserted. 
They saved fine.  But I guess you wont be able to click on the files on your 
floppy disk and see the actual emails since you dont have the outlook 
express program there right?  You would have to copy and paste them back to 
your hard drive to view actual emails?

I personally have opened individual emails after creating folders 
"rootswebvirginia mailing list", "pclist", etc.. and kept my emails filed in 
thse folders, is very time consuming of course but allows me to find them 
later easier.  But that of course is not saving a back up of them, just a 
filing system.

You can back up your emails by making a copy of your message store folder.
It contains all the *.dbx files that hold your emails and the folders you
sort them into (inbox, sent, deleted etc).
