I'm going to reformat my hard drive and I really need to
save the emails that I have in my inbox of outlook
express. What file or folder are all the emails stored
in so I can back them up...?

Thanks
 
Those are the dbx-files.

For more info on saving OE settings/data please ask in an Outlook Express
forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!

Ok, that sounds right. I found the DBX files and they're
huge! So If I back up all the .dbx files, that will save
everything, correct?

Thanks for the quick help.

Try here:

this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003(beta) from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
