I am overwhelmed with spam, so I want to change my e-mail address name. If I
do, how can I save all my current addresses in my Outlook Express. ( I am
assuming I will lose them if I change ).
I am using XP, IE, OE and cablevision broadband.
 
Windows XP's address book is unaffected when you change e-mail addresses.

I think there might be one or two newgroups you left out.

You assume wrong. The email address is the only thing that changes.
 
I assume you mean your Address Book? You shouldn't lose them, but why take a
chance?

Open the Address Book | File | Export | Address Book (wab) to a location of
your choice, (Desktop, My Documents, etc.). If they are absent when you
change your address, open the new Address Book and reverse the procedure.

Try using a Gmail account for your new email address.

They have an extremely effective spam filter.

I have been using this Gmail address for public newsgroup postings for
almost a year now.

It is currently attracting about 11 or 12 spams per day (342 in the
past 30 days) and the Gmail spam filter is sending 94% of these (321
out of 342) directly to the Spam folder.

Good luck

won't affect your address book at all.
