how to back up messages in a folder in Microsoft Outlook express.?
395752
Outlook Express stores messages in files with a *.dbx extension.  simply saving these files won't help.  You must EXPORT the folder, using File/Export, and I suggest saving it as a TEXT file. ( IMPORTANT!! REMEMBER WHERE YOU SAVE THE EXPORT FILE!! )....Once the text file is exported and saved, you can burn it to a flopy or other removable media, and then use IMPORT to load them back into OE later...\n\nThe process is not ' intuitive', but it is relatively simple.

Look in c:&#92;documents and settings&#92;your user name&#92;local settings&#92;application data&#92;Microsoft&#92;outlook&#92;\n\nCopy that whole folder, though the one you mostly need is Outlook.PST (it should be the biggest)

I can't remember what version of outlook express creates DBX files.  But what I would do is create a copy of those files, and also create a backup of your current mail folders if you have anything you want to save.  If you need help finding where your current files are stored, go to Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder, copy down the location, and close Outlook Express before copying the files.\n\nThen I'd go ahead and attempt to import them as either Outlook Express 4 or 6.  If it doesn't like the format, it will probably simply refuse to import anything.  If by chance it screws things up, well, that's what those two backup copies were for.

Its super easy!!\n\nPasted from Yahoo Help page >>>\n\nJust drag the message from the message table(window) and drop it onto the name of the folder you want to move it to. That's it, you're done! \n\n(You wanted something more complicated and technical sounding, didn't you?) \n\n<<<< End\n\n.:Fishie:.

You can export your messages as .EML files and drag them over into an open window in outlook. no offence, but I hate incredimail, it's like spyware.\n\nhttp://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_from_Incredimail

Outlook Express doesn't have a Favorites tool. If you're referring to Internet Explorer Favorites, go to "File" - "Import and Export" and use the wizard.

The first thing I suggest is to use the MICROSOFT OUTLOOK.\nIn the OUTLOOK EXPRESS to copy all your mail contacts & address book.  First open the outlook express.  Go to the \nTOOLS -> OPTIONS -> MAINTENANCE TAB -> STORE FOLDER.  There you will be able to see the full folder details of your complete outlook express mail contacts.  Copy the the folder address.  Then close the Outlook Express.  Go to the C: folder paste the copied address in the address bar & press enter.  You will find all your mail contacts in the dbx format.  Now go to the address bar again.  Delete the word Outlook Express from the last.  And press enter.  Now the folder of Outlook Express mails would appear.  Select the folder & write to the CD.  \n\nTo export the Address Book:  Open the Outlook Express.  \nSelect the Addresses Icon from the toolbar.\nFILE -> EXPORT -> SELECT THE FILE OR FOLDER OR THE CD DRIVE TO EXPORT.\n\nI hope this would solve your prob.

MICROSOFT OUTLOOK\n\nRecall or replace a message you've already sent\nThis feature requires Microsoft Exchange.\n\nYou can recall or replace a message only if its recipient is logged on and using Microsoft Outlook and has not read the message or moved it from their Inbox. \n\nIf the Folder List is not visible, click the View menu, and then click Folder List. \nClick Sent Items. \nOpen the message you want to recall or replace. \nOn the Actions menu, click Recall This Message. \nDo one of the following:\nRecall the message\n\nClick Delete unread copies of this message. \nTo be notified about the success of the recall or replacement for each recipient, select the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient check box. \nReplace the message\n\nClick Delete unread copies and replace with a new message. \n\nClick OK, and then type a new message. \n\nTo be notified about the success of the recall or replacement for each recipient, select the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient check box. \n\nNote   To replace a message, you must send a new one. If you do not send the new item, the original message is still recalled.\n\nOUTLOOK EXPRESS\nTo cancel a posted message \n\nIn the Folders list, select the newsgroup in which you posted the message, and then select your message. \nOn the Message menu, click Cancel Message. \n Notes\n\nYou can only cancel messages that you posted. \nAfter you cancel a message, it may take some time for it to be removed from your server and other servers on the Internet. Canceling a message does not remove it from another user's computer if the user downloaded the message before it was canceled.

You probably will have to use thunderbird. That works the same as outlook express.

Use \nEdit - select all\nThen hit delete\nor if you wish to save the messages use  'move to folder".

To just have all the data in an not necessarily useable form, search for how to backup email data from Outlook Express.\n\nTo actually get it into a useable, you probably need to pick an email client and look in its menus for an Import from Outlook Express item.\nIt is more likely to know how to get email from a popular email client like Outlook Express than Outlook Express is to know how to give up its email to it.\n\np.s. Outlook Express and Outlook are not the same so make sure you import from the correct place.

Hi, your emails are stored as a .pst.  So, go to start>search for files and folders> and enter .pst\n\nor take note of its location... it is sort of buried but..\n\ndocuments and settings>your profile>local settings>application data>microsoft>outlook\n\n\n\n\nEDIT: oops but not for outlook, sorry...\n\nFrom the Outlook Express menu select Tools | Options | Maintenance and click the StoreFolder button. You see a dialog with the name of the directory that has your mail files. If you look in that directory you find files named after your mail folders and news groups. They all have a .DBX suffix. Outlook Express keeps all messages in these database files. If you make copies of these files regularly, you'll have a safe backup of your OE mail. \n\nhope that helps

I know one way to do it. Its pretty unconventional but it has worked for me in the past. Follow these instructions carrefully:-\nOpen the folder\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;Sunny&#92;Local Settings&#92; Application Data&#92; Identities&#92; {C2580CEE-79A4-49B3-B227-FA29E90D133B} &#92;Microsoft&#92;Outlook Express\nwhere Sunny is the user name which would be different in your case. Also {C2580CEE-79A4-49B3-B227-FA29E90D133B} would also be different in your PC.\nCopy all the files of this folder to another folder say lets call it "BackupFolder". Whenever you want to recover the messages in your Outlook Express, copy all files from the backup folder to \nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;Sunny&#92;Local Settings&#92; Application Data&#92; Identities&#92; {C2580CEE-79A4-49B3-B227-FA29E90D133B} &#92;Microsoft&#92;Outlook Express\nWhile copying, please ensure that Outlook Express should not be running lest some of the files cannot be copied / overwritten.\nThe second but more cumbersome way is:-\nAll messages in Outlook Express can be exported to MS Outlook using the export wizard. From MS Outlook, export the messages as a .pst file into a folder on the  hard disk. To recover the messages to Outlook Express, first import the .pst file to MS Outlook and then import it to Outlook Express from MS Outlook using the import wizard.\nMy suggestion to you is to change over to MS Outlook as your default mail client. Its a pretty decent application for handling your mails unless you have a strong reason to use Outlook Express only. The main reason I shifted from Oultook Express to MS Outlook is this cumbersome way of creating backups.

From outlook, open up FILE, Import and Export, Export to a File, Personal Folder (pst), select your Contacts folder, Hit Next, and select a place to store the new file.\n\nThen just copy that file over to the new PC and open it back up.

Step by step...but ull probably need to adjust to ur computer settings...\n\nAll you need to do is copy the data file from one computer to the other...depending on the number of emails you have, this file could be very big in size.\n\nTo find the file,\n\nGo to My Computer> C: > Documents & Settings > \n\nNow find ur username and click that and then open up Local Settings folder. ( You may not see this folder if youve set options to not show hidden folders). \n\nfrom here keep goin down the folders to Application Data > Microsoft > outlook.\n\nInside this folder, you will find a pst file. ( not dbx as stated above)...most usually called outlook.pst  ....this file stores all ur emails...copy onto disk....save it on the second computer...and then from outlook, go to open data file and select the file you just copied into whichever location you copied to.\n\nIf that was no good...please try microsoft.com
