I know this is an Outlook group, but I couldn't find an OE group listed on
my news server's "provided" list...

My question: What directory(ies) do I need to copy and restore in order to
preserve my mail and newsgroup folders and settings if I want to re-install
Outlook Express?

I'll check here for replies or you can get me at the address below -
however, I can only receive mail... My Outlook Express seems to dislike all
5 of my SMTP servers - thus the reinstallation desire... :(

Joe,

Look in Tools/Options/Maintenance/Store Folder. Copy that folder somewhere
else. That'll save your mail and news. I don't know about configuration
settings. I suspect they're in the registry.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the
Office family for Intel 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
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE

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).

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

If you open up outlook express and click on tools, options
and then maintenance. On the right side about half way
down you will see "store folder". Click on that and you
will find out where it is located. Navigate to that folder
and copy the files and save it somewhere. Then after the
install go to the same folder and paste your old files
back and your done. You can also change where OE saves
those files, personally I save them in my documents so
when you run into this its all in one easy to find
location.
