[simeria_r]

I want to reinstall Windows Xp soon, as I got a virus and after cleaning the computer doesn’t work as smooth as before. I gives some strange erros and sometimes it justs hangs up… I want to backup Outlook Express emails and settings before reinstall, and restore afterwards. Any help?

Where to find your e-mail files
Within Outlook Express, your data (e-mail messages) are saved in folders with a .dbx extension, for example, “Drafts.dbx”. You can back up your Local Folder data by copying the .dbx folders to another location on your hard drive or to replaceable media.

Important Note
If you are backing up your messages to a diskette, tape, or zip disk (considered to be “replaceable media”), place the formatted media in the appropriate drive to begin the process.

To find the .dbx folders, use Windows’ search function to search for them.

1. Click Start.

2. Select Find.

3. Select Files or Folders.

4. In the Find: All Files dialog box, type

.dbx

5. Click Find Now. You will see a list of all your Outlook Express “.dbx” folders.

6. Select the Local Folders you want to copy.

7. Copy the folders to another location on your hard drive or to replaceable media.
