Where does Outlook express save it's back up files so i can back them up to a different HDD.
Also the same question for the Address book.

It's been years since using Express and i can't remember the file extensions either.

Any help?

cheers

Ok - what Operating System?

For XP its:

Cocuments and SettingsXXXXXLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoft

Should be an outlook and outlook express folder

Cheers

I only have an Outlook folder in that location and the files in it are

archive.pst & zzPersonal Folders(1).pst

Are these the files i need to copy and backup?

Hiya Andy,

You need to copy all the files in:
Cocuments and settingsxxxxLocal SettingsApplication DataIdentities
There should be a load of .dbx files in the Outlook Express folder buried under that tree

Also, go into Outlook and export your address book:
Fileexportaddress book (use CSV)

Also, export your mail settings just in case:
Toolsaccountsselect mail tabexport
This will give you an .iaf file

On new pc, copy all contents of outlook express folder into your new HDD, import your address book and it should be fine.
