[dave]

We are running outlook express but i cannot think of a way
to store the files on our server. i tryed to change the
place where the files are stored using tools\options but
it wont let me change the folder to a network drive.

This an OL ng not OE - a completly seperate app.
However for info on OE see http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/
The answer to yr Q; OE is not designed for network use and cannot be used on
one - unless yr prepared to put up with corruption/data loss.
You need a specific network email client eg OL2K or later installed in
network(Exchange) Mode

Do you know of a similarly thourough site for Outlook? How are
emails saved? How can they be backed up, possibley as a text file,
so that they can be opened in notepad or word, without saving them
individually?

Thanks

Personnally I use OL2K in internet mode, am using the MS backup addin, apart
from other backup regimes.
If yr asking how are email saved, in internet mode, email, contacts etc
contained within a *.pst file.
In Exchage mode in an *.ost file

Emails in Exchange are saved on the mailbox. Only if you have enabled
offline use, is an .ost file created. If you are using Exchange and have
delivery set to personal folders, all Outlook items are kept in a .pst file.
The mode or mail transport type is independent of the storage format.
