Hi Donald,
In order to backup the mail databases and restore them later (only messages)
you should do this:
go to Tools\Options\Maintenance\Store Folder.Then specify the Folder,where
you want the messages to be stored.In order to restore the messages
later,open OE and do the same things as you did to backup the messages.(the
folder,where you specified the messages to be placed must not be in the
WinXP folders).
The second way to backup the mail
databases(rules,accounts,contacts...included) is that you can use the
program of Geniesoft called Outlook Express Backup.I have it.It is just cool
for me to backup my mail databases.Sorry that I don't have the link to
download site at hand but if you so need it you can mail to me.
Regards,
Huynh Minh Huong
