While this is a hardware forum the answer is in Microsoft articles I find at google.com with these two words.
OLEXP BACKUP
Bob
Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to easily back up (make a copy for safekeeping or future use) emails from Outlook Express? I don't know where they are stored exactly, so even though I regularly make backups of my important files, I have lost important emails in the past after a hard disk failure. And, how do I reactivate that file later on, after installing a new hard disk and reinstalling MSOffice for example? How do I get the back-up email file to be accessible in my Inbox? Thanks in advance for your help.
