I'm going to restore my laptop back to the way it was out of the box so I
need to backup my contacts and mail in Windows Mail before I do this, so that
I can restore them when the laptop resinstallation is complete. How do I do
this?
 
First of all you need to goto Organize/Folder and Search Options then click
on
View and uncheck the box
Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
This allows you to see the AppData Folder

Go to
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail
UserName is you as a user

and backup the Windows Mail Folder

After installing Vista again just copy the Windows Mail folder folder to the
above location.
