Hi

I am using Windows 2000 and this Site's online help tells me to backup my Outlook Express messages by locating the .mbx file and backing it up. I did a search and one doesn't exist.

Specifically, I am about to upgrade 2000 to XP and I wanted to keep all my messages and folders and address book intact. Is there a way to do this? I have already backed up the address book.

Thanks!

Jeff???My first post and no "WELCOME" or even a reply with answers


gfOh, sorry! Welcome! Congratulations on waiting about 2.5 hours before whining that nobody answered.

Let me clue you in on how this forum works. People post questions which are read by other people, and if ANYBODY (a) knows the answer and (b) feels like answering, they do so. Very often people who do not satisfy CONDITION (a) will answer anyway. Sometimes nobody at all will answer a query for days or weeks or ever. Sad, but there it is. One way to minimise the number of helpful answers and maximise the number of wise-a*s replies (like this one) is to come over all whiny and moany.

I can tell you that there is a very simple reason why you cannot find any mbx files. A little light Googling will tell you that reason.
