Hi. I have to reformat my hard drive and I want to back
up and later retrieve my Outlook Express message folders
(I have figured out how to save my address book to the
desktop with no problem). In the program I
clicked "File...Export...Messages". Then I chose to
export all folders. The problem is that I do not know
where the backed up folders are now located. I would
like to save them to a CD so that I can retrieve them and
insert them back into Outlook Express once the hard drive
is reformatted, but I do not know the location of the
file/folder name to copy and save to CD. Also, How do I
direct Outlook Express to find my backed up files during
the Import function?
 
Hi, Matt -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
