Laurence, there are many programs that will backup and restore your
emails. Just do a search on Google for OE backups. These backups can be
burnt to a CD and when copied back to the hard dive are marked as
archive and can be accessed for importing back to Outlook Express. It is
only necessary to import the actual folders you need.

Hope this answers what you need.

Cheers,
Alan Priol

"read only" files on the cd once i've put them there? " open with "
