Outlook Express

Look at OE/Tools/Options/Maintenance tab, store folder. You
can move the location out of the default location or just
see the default. I have mine moved out of the default C: to
keep it in E:\my documents (I have also moved My Documents.

Marks,

Nice to see a fellow Malaysian here.

Please check:
Tools > Options > Maintainence > Store Folder.

There you will see the path on where OE stores your inbox.

Hope this helps.

The emails are stored in a hidden file, inbox.dbx.

Inside Outlook Express click on Tools on the file menu, then select the
Maintenance tab.
There is a button on that screen called Store Folder. You can move that
folder anywhere you want.

I like to have a NTFS encrypted directory off my root like C:\ENCRYPTED\.
From that folder I branch off into my documents and mail etc. I always move
my mail folder in there.(C:\ENCRYPTED\MAIL)

If you want another level of security, try clicking File then Identities and
then Manage Identities. Inside this dialog box you can click on Properties
and then check the Require a password check box.

That way if someone hijacks *.dbx files, OE will at least prompt them for a
password. It might not be the best protection, but its something and thats
more than nothing.

Have fun!

Thanks. I've been absent from MS newsgroup for a year (last year, student
exchange to Japan, no PC access) and now I'm back here.

Glad to see you again in the NG too, Kelly! :-D
