How can I save the OE emails and settings? - 11/28/2006 7:50:14
Hello,
I got a virus and my computer does not seem to work properly after I desinfected it.. I plan to reinstall Windows, but before, I need to save all my emails and settings in Outlook Express, in order to restore them after the reinstall. Any suggestions?

Try http://www.ajsystems.com/ea.html.
I use the Outlook version, Outback Plus 5, and am highly satisfied with both the product and technical support.

Alternatively you could try this:
In XP go to All Programs>> Accessories>> System Tools>> Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. Follow the instructions until you have copied the wizard to a floppy disk or other removable media.
Take the floppy to any/all other machine(s), insert the media.
Select the drive and open the wizard.
Under Which computer is this, select Old Computer. Then select Next.
Under Select a transfer method select Other. Below Other, it says Folder or drive; type in:
c:\my_outlook_backup
Select Next.
Under What do you want to transfer, select Both files and settings. Also check Let me select.... Then select Next.
Under Select custom files and settings, click on each item, then click remove until all are gone except Outlook Express.
The only things left should be:
Settings
Outlook Express
Specific folders
File types
This setting will still backup all OE data like: E-mails, Folders and attachments, BUT will NOT store passwords.
Select Next.
The Wizard will have created a file called "Usmt2.unc". Copy this to portable storage and insert into new PC.
Continue with Files and Settings Transfer Wizard on the new PC.
This will merge old OE data, Email, Folders, Rules and Account Settings with anything you have created already on the new pc.
