| 33919 | 2002-02-04 01:24:00 | The best way is to use the Outlook express program itself to make the backups. First create a folder (call it MailBackups)to hold the backups (eg inside My Documents folder) 1)Messages In outlook: locate and back up your mail folder In Outlook express: Tools>Options>Maintenance tab, click on 'store folder' link and browse to the MailBackups folder. Accept the defaults, exit and restart outloook, your mail will be transferred into the Mailbackups folder 2)Address book In outlook express: File>Export>address book, select Text file (CSV), click export link, and browse to the Mailbackup folder. Type a name for the file (eg addressbook) and save. 3)Account settings In outlook express: Tools>Accounts, select one account, click export. Locate the Mailbackup folder and save into it. If you have multiple ISP accounts, repeat proceedure for each account. You have now backed up all outlook data and settings. Take the Mailbackup folder off the hard disk. RESTORE: Restore the Mailback up folder to your hard disk. 1)Messages In outlook: Files>Import>Messages, select Outlook 6, take 2nd option 'Import mail from an OE store directory' >ok. Now browse to the Mailbackup folder, click next and follow instructions.... 2)Address book In outlook: Files>Import>address, browse to the Mailbackup folder, select your addressbook file, next and follow instructions.... 3)In outlook: Tools>Accounts, click Import link. Locate Mailbackup folder, highlight the account file and follow instructions End. You Outlook Express should now be back to full function. Cheers Richard |
