1. Open: File --> Import and export... --> Export to a file --> Next\n2. In the list, click Personal Folder File (.pst) --> Next.\n3. Click the folders you need to backup.  If needed, tick the Include subfolders box --> Next.\n4. Under Save exported file as, click Browse and specify a folder under your My Documents folder (Important: don't use the default folder, or the backup will be created in an obscure, hidden system folder you might find difficult to locate). Give the new file a name (like "Mail backup").\n5. Tell how to handle duplicates.  "Do not export duplicate items" should work.  ->> Finish.\n6. Transfer the new file into a CD.\n\nIf you need to restore a backup, you'd do the following:\n1. Open: File --> Import and export... --> Export to a file --> Next\n2. Click Import from another program or file --> Next\n3. Click Personal Folder File (.pst) --> Next\n4. Specify folder and filename of your backup file.\n5. Tell how to handle duplicates.  "Do not export duplicate items" should work.  ->> Finish.\n6. Follow the remaining instructions.

You want to do what?  What's in the e-mail?  If it's just a message, save it to your My Documents directory, put a blank DVD in and drag and drop it to the disk using My Computer.  A DVD is a lot of room for just e-mail messages though.  Would be a waste of space.  Use a CD instead.  Windows XP has the software built in to copy files to CD/DVD if you have a write enabled drive.  It's just a drag and drop to the drive, then you get a wizard poping up telling you to finish the process.  Easy.

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.

They are two different demons!! Just setup Outlook and then export your information from one to the other...pretty easy actually!!

You can do this with Microsoft Outlook.

OE > Options > Maintainece > Storage Folder Button\n\nNavigate to that folder; you will see files like inbox.dbx, and so on; each folder on outlook is saved as .dbx file.\n\nBack up this files and you are good to go.\n\nPlay around some, create folders, put mails you dont care for, and change them here and there - it will give you confidence and knowledge to back them up without much problems.

only way to do that is if you setup outlook to leave the messages on the server, if not you are sol.  You may be able to retrieve some messages by contacting your isp and see if they can pull up any messages that may still be stored on the server, but usually thats only going to get back ones from the last 48 hours or less, depending on your isp.

You should get Microsoft outlook and sync up hotmail to download all your hotmail messages to outlook. That way you can have all your messages on your Hard drive. I think hotmail is very unstable these days and a lot of people freeze when they use it so it might not be just you. \n\nOnce you download all the messages to your outlook, you can send messages using your outlook and its a lot easier to use. Hotmail has very limited space for emails so I would try outlook.

Just a question for now:\n\nWhat are you using to send your email (and attach those files): an email client, such as Outlook or Outlook Express, or a webmail interface?

Kindly check your Outlook Express programme, in advanced option is there any configuration tickked as "LEAVE COPY IN SERVER FOR 5 DAYS" In such circumstances if you delete original mail also u can get copy of that mail.

Hmmm...Unusual Suspects?? :)\n\nI ran into this problem a few months ago.  Couldn't be assed with writing a VBScript.  It took me about an hour to clean it up by hand (it would probably take me the same to write and debug the script).\n\nHere's the easiest way to do this by hand:\n\n\nunless you already have a backup calendar-type folder somewhere for backup, Create a new outlook data file and create a new calender folder in it \nSwitch to Folder List view in outlook\nSelect your Calendar Folder\npress ctrl-shit-f to search\nHit find now.  \nSelect All entries (ctrl-a)\nhit ctrl-c (to place a reference to all items to your clipboard)\ngo into the backup folder, and hit ctrl-c.  That should create a copy of your 'real' calendar in this backup folder.\n\nThen, go back to the Advanced Find window.\na) If you used outlook's hollidays feature, sort first by location (I assume you are in the US), under United States, wipe them ALL out (you can always add these later with a few clicks)\nb) now sort by dates.  Wipe out all the old stuff you couldn't care less about\nc) now sort by Subject.\nd) time to work down-arrow, delete, down-arrow, delete, down-arrow, delete, etc...\n\ngood luck

I'm not sure about how much memory it uses compared with other readers but I can recommend RSS Popper which integrates with Outlook / Outlook Express and works a treat.\n\nhttp://rsspopper.blogspot.com/2004/10/home.html

Attach it as a file onto the email or use the old copy & paste.

It depends on what email software you are using.  If you are using Microsoft outlook you can archive all old emails and import them again if you need them.  If you are using yahoo you can save them in their own folders and refer back to them when you need them.  I do this with personal emails that I want to keep or anything important like passwords for future.
