| 404396 | 2005-11-15 01:50:00 | I wonder if my backed up to CD OE emails from the earlier 98se days not to mention todays backup are at the mercy of Bills operating system ? MS file types only... should I export to say TBird as well ? so if MS wants to require a chip in my head before startup... at least I can see them in TBird ? spose printing them out on paper is pretty good... heck of a lot of paper :) Pete |

I just have one backup, but I suppose if you are really worried you could just leave a copy on your mail server as well (ie. tell your email client not to delete them after they are downloaded). |

That would depend on how long the mail server retains mail. Many ISPs delete read/unread mail after a certain number of days. You could always auto forward all mail to a Yahoo or GMail account. |

| 404401 | 2005-11-15 03:46:00 | Rather have them on CD and hard drive than online Just wondering about best format... like in say ten years time, will my old OE mail be viewable by something ? Pete |

| 404402 | 2005-11-15 03:50:00 | Microsoft have always proivided a Backup facility. They have seemed to always manage to make the recovery software not able to read backups from earlier versions. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
