Before installing XP, how do I back up all emails in all folders in O/L Express?

See "OLEXP: How to Back Up and Recover Outlook Express Data"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=270670).

Use the file/export command to save settings and messages to
a folder, then burn that folder to a CD-R

No. the Export function in OE ONLY exports to Outlook or Exchange format and
then only if Outlook is installed on the machine.

I like DBXtract

You can also search for *.dbx and back up your folders. Later "import from OE6."
