Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if this is possible, if so how do you do it?

I want to back up all my emails that i have on outlook express to cd.

Any ideas?

Yes you can...
Did this for Palatine the other night.I backed his outlook express emails up and then imported them into the full blown version of Outlook.
Do a search on your hard disk for *.dbx (There should be one of these per outlook express folder)

Good luck

This should give you an idea of where Outlook Express stores the messages etc

Hi Nick,

Just did a search on the files mentioned and found nothing at all......

Did you have a look at the link I supplied above?
It should give you an idea of where said files are located?
You sure you did a search on the whole of the C Drive? (Fire up windows explorer and right click drive C and either choose Search or Find depending on what version of Windows you're runnin)

Sorry if that sounds patronising.It isn't meant to be,just not sure how well up on computers you are!!

Good luck

Nick

You sure it ain't the full blown version of Outlook then?
Do a search for *.pst and see if that finds anything?

Make sure that you include hidden and system files in the search, this is more than likely why you can't find the .dbx files.

Yeah that was the cause, wasnt searching in hidden files. Found a whole list of dbx files now/

Now to copy them to backup....................

Cheers guys
