7000in5th -> Outlook Express Backup Question (5/14/2005 22:21:46)

My recent Dell 8400 hard drive crash reminded me that I have never learned how to backup my Outlook Express folders and Address book. I can't even find them!

Can anyone give me a clue (since I am obviously clueless) about OE backup?

Thanks,
David

ritarun,

Thanks for the response. I wanted to report on my results before now but schedules have kept me away. Will let you know how things go.

David,

Never say "whoops!" again:

- for Outlook Express, use http://www.ajsystems.com/ea7.html
- for Outlook, use http://www.ajsystems.com/obp5.html .

I am completely satisfied with the OutBack Plus 5 product.

BTW, your Personal Folders/Address Book reside in the Office Suite .pst file which is located at:

C:\Documents and Settings\Computer Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook(Outlook Express)\
 
One corrupted file in Office and everything flushes which is why an "after factory" add-in helps one sleep at night.

Thanks, Larry,

I'll take a look.

David
