Email backup need help

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?

:giggle:

The simplest way is to get one of the many Outlook backup utilities available. Doing a quick google search this was the first one in the results list
http://www.outlook-express-backup.com/
or if you want to do things manually then you can read how in the Microsoft Knowledge Base

Strange this is the second request to do this I have answered today but the other poster said they wanted to upgrade from Windows ME :eek:

Hello riny, welcome to Themes By Design, lol.

And thanks for the help Doc. Since this isn't a computer/Windows/OE support forum, and I know little about the tech side of either, riny wouldn't have gotten any help otherwise ;)

No problem Peggy, happy to help where I can :D

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
That was just like what I needed. However, if I am to choose between a manual backup and a automated one ( made by a software ) I would go
with the last one, because I'm not the "do it your self" type, and I'm afraid of the possibility of losing it if I don't do the backup just right. Too bad the OE Quick Backup has been discontinued.. Sounded like a nice application. However, after searching for similar software tools on the web I've found several , such as http://www.amicutilities.com/outlook-express-backup/
This look like my problem is solved.
Thank you!

Glad you found what you are looking for :)
