| 33219 | 2002-01-28 09:38:00 | Howdy people P111 600, 128 MEG 133 RAM, 18 GB HD, W98SE, OE 5.5 I feel my computer is about to suck a big kumara and would like to save my emails in the deleted and sent folders. I have really tried a few things without success. I wish to save them on a cd. I have backed up and saved all my other terribly important stuff. When I have tried saving emails before I end up with files of unreadable gibberish like the stuff on the walls of egpytian tombs. Please dont assume I know much about computers, step by step instruction for an idiot appreciated. Cheers Ted Heath |

Ensure your folder options has show hidden files and folders ticked. This contains all the DBX files, you can just save them to disk and then import them later. |

Address Book C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book and Favourites C:\Windows\Favourites (and why Microsoft have to hide these in deep directories is beyond me. Far easier if they put these and the email in My Documents so they don't get forgotten in a backup) |
