Where can I find information on backing up rules relevant to OE 6 (knowledge base only covers up to

[Hubert Earl]

Hi,

I have been searching the Microsoft knowledge base for information about how
to back up rules in Outlook Express 6, but I can only find information about
Outlook Express versions up to version 5.01
(URL:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;276511 ).

Where can I find information on backing up rules relevant to OE 6?

Sincerely,

Hi Taurarian,

Thanks for the response.

In the past, whenever I backed up my rules from the copied registry setting,
my rules settings reappeared after my reformat but somehow had become
deactivated (with a red 'x' next to each), and I had to go to Message Rules
and reactivate each rule manually. Since I belong to many mailing lists and
so have quite a lot of rules, this can be a bit of a hassle. Will the
backup program, the link to which you kindly provided, allow me to backup
and automatically restore rules to full functionality without having to
reactivate each manually?

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for the prompt response.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Rules\Mail and News

I've used this registry file in the past (but I'd forgotten where it was,
since I'd lost the info I had on it. However, when I used it, my rules
settings reappeared after my reformat, but somehow had become deactivated
(with a red 'x' next to each), and I had to go to Message Rules and
reactivate each rule manually. Since I belong to many mailing lists and so
have quite a lot of rules, is there any way to backup and automatically
restore rules to full functionality without having to reactivate each
manually?
