46068 2002-04-28 06:41:00 Hi There,
Does anybody know of a good and easy way to archive Outlook Express emails to floppy or cd.
Mayby I am missing something but I am finding it very hard to find how to do it.
Thanks
Paul

Two ways around this, do a search on your system for *.dbx files and then navigate your way to where they are stored and copy them to CD or floppy.

Or.On the main toolbar Click File>Export>Messages and follow the prompts and export them to a folder of your choice from where you can copy them to cd.

Off memory that is right, I will stand corrected if someone proves me wrong.

I think, but do a search and you will find. From memory a trial is available.

Try Tucows perhaps for an evaluation copy, or go to www.fookes.com

Earlier versions did not archive email attachments, but I believe the current version does. I haven't tested that aspect yet.

Beware though - archive files can get pretty huge, and may not necessarily fit on a cd.

Hope that helps
John
