Back ups form Outlook Express

[Denise]

I would like to back up my e-mail address book so I don't lose them all. I also have a whole lot of old e-mails saved into folders in OE that I would like to put on a disc and delete from the computer, but be able to read from the disc if I ever need to. How do I do this? Please type slowly and use small words and minimal abbreviations. Thanks for your help.

Backing up your address book is easy- search for a .wab file

In OE, click file then Export to save your emails. You will have to restore them onto a Windows Outlook Express or Windows Mail program using the import function. There is no other way to read emails archived this way. Truly important emails should be saved to the hard drive (save as) and they will show up as messagename.eml or sent to an online email account like Google.

When you do the file, export route, does it take them all, including the current ones? Can I take my archived ones and leave the current ones behind somehow?

When they are exported, where do they go and how do I find them to save them? (Too late to try tonight... Thanks for the help)

outlook express dbx viewer can repair dbx files from any version of Outlook Express. The program doesn't modify source dbx data during recovering. It can show restored dbx and starts under all popular versions of Windows OS.
