Back up your emails!!
OS : Windows 95/98/NT User Level : Intermed.
If you have some important emails that you can afford to lose, you can back them up. But this only works with Outlook (and Outlook Express) for IE 3 through IE 5. Open the find files dialog and search for *.mbx When it's done searching, you will find a number of files. You need to open explorer and navigate your way to that directory. Highlight and copy all the files... all of them (the mbx's are mailboxes and contain the emails while the other files are like an index). Don't be surprised if the files total more than 20 megs. Move them somewhere else. When you're ready to have them back (say after a reinstall), move them back to their original directory. Viola, there they are! Updated: May 30, 2001 |
