Dear all
I would like to do a backup of all personal files of my OutlookExpress. I
know, that there are backup softwares who do this, but I want to know how to
do it manualy. Which folders contain that files (messages, folders,
attachements, properties, adresses, news, ...) and which files store which
information?

Would it then be theoreticaly possible to copy these files to a backup
drive, delete all these information on my harddisk, start outlook express,
close it again, restore all the files from my backup drive and have outlook
express together with all my personal files properly working?

Thanks
Peter

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group

references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)
