| 542657 | 2007-04-20 14:13:00 | I just copied some OE files today and am now wondering if I mucked it up. Having since deleted the OE folder of course :D I've only ever done it once before and it worked that time. I copied the folder contents to a folder I'd set up in My Documents as a .dbx file. I'm assuming the files are all .dbx and OE will import them if I want. Is this any help to PJ? |

| 542659 | 2007-04-21 01:56:00 | I use an outlook express backup utility when ever I format a computer. It's great. It restores all your emails, contacts and settings. You can download the trial version for free and thats all you need really. Get it here (www.sharewareconnection.com) |

| 542660 | 2007-05-04 23:41:00 | Hi All . Maryann recently had her HD reformatted . When OE Folders were saved, first, they were put into a folder INBOX in My Documents . How can we get all these folders back into Local Folders again? PJ . I finally resolved this problem . This is how , I think, I did it . I opened OE Inbox & shrunk the window down to half . Opened up the Desktop Icon 'Inbox' & did the same . So I had the two side by side . In Inbox folders I made a new folder with the same name as one in the 'Inbox' . Opened that 'Inbox' folder . Opened the new folder . In the 'Inbox' folder I 'Selected All', then Dragged & Dropped the whole 'selected' into the new folder . Hooray, it worked . Took me an hour to do it, but it was worth it . Thnka for all your help . PJ:thumbs: |

| 542661 | 2007-05-05 00:24:00 | Great that you got it sorted Poppa John, I am so relieved for you because there can be so many things you want to check back on - sometimes very unexpectedly. I wonder if it is not best though to have your messages in a separate partition (along with photos and music, letters etc) ? My C Drive was partitioned into C and D drives. All this data is in my D drive. Presumably this makes putting everything back in its place much easier ? Or am I missing something ? cheers Misty :D |

| 542662 | 2007-05-05 01:01:00 | Misty....Worth thinking about. My comp has a 160Gb hd & IS petitioned C & D. Maryann has an 80GB, don't know if it is worth doing a partition, or putting in another 80GB as D. the only problem with the second option is these things $$$ PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
