Am using Outlook Express 6.0 with Windows 2000. I want to
back up, and soon to change computers - where do I find
the files and what are they called? On an older version
they seemed to be .dbx files, but I cannot find these now?
Really care about Inbox, Sent and Addreses?
 
This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97-2003 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress
for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ublic.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...;newsgroupsmicrosoft.public.internet.mail.mac
for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

You are looking for dbx files
You can see where they are located, by going into Outlook express, go to
tools-options, click on the maintanence tab, click on store folder, and this
gives you the path to where your emails are stored.
Or go to support.microsoft.com and type in 270670 , it is how to backup oe
data.
