I will rbe einstalling xp pro in the next couple of days. How can i back up
the emails in my inbox and other folders? Is this all kept in a file that i
can just burn to dvd and then replace after the reinstall? I did find
Outlook.pst in C:\Documents and Settings\Ashok Padmanabhan\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Is this all i need? This is
Outllok 2003 BTW. Thx Ashok

yep, that's all you need. Burn that file to a CD, do the reinstall, and
then, copy the file back to your HDD. Remove the Read-Only attribute, and in
Outlook go to File-Open-Outlook data file.
