47171 2002-05-05 00:54:00 I am using MS 98 and Outlook Express 5.5 and when I do a backup I would like to include my e-mail messages that have been downloaded.
I know that they can be saved to a folder or exported to MS Outlook, but what I want to know is where the e-mail messages are stored on Windows Explorer so that I can quickly and simply save that folder when I do a backup?

That big number thing will be different on your PC but thats the path to them.
