| Backing up your email
messages Always backup your files. Many think that one cannot backup email messages, or don't know how, so they use the good old trick: print all messages... Here's how you can backup your emails in OUTLOOK EXPRESS Normally messages are stored at C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\MailIf you did not find the location, try searching for MBX files, press F3 and type *.mbx In OUTLOOK EXPRESS you have 2 files for each folder in your mail program e.g INBOX has Inbox.mbx and Inbox.idx If you want to backup all messages (INBOX, SENT ITEMS....) just SELECT ALL, use a compression utility like PKWARE or WINZIP to compress all the files and place them in a safe place... It's better to save on floppies (if it fits) or on a Jazz drive, or even use another Hard Drive. Normally you can reduce size by 70%. If you receive lots of messages, do a backup every month. if you use NETSCAPE MESSENGER files are stored at C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\default\Mail (default
is the user folder) Inbox and Inbox.snm related to INBOXIf you use another mail program just search for anything called inbox type inbox*.* |
